The Protestant Reformation and the Catholic Counter-Reformation heightened fears of heresy and the devil, leading to increased persecution of those suspected of witchcraft. Additionally, societal upheavals, such as economic hardship and political instability, fueled paranoia and the scapegoating of marginalized individuals, particularly women. This combination of religious fervor, social anxiety, and a lack of scientific understanding made witchcraft a serious concern for many during this period.
