Solid but not exactly an every-day worry. Fear of witches then might be like fear of being hit by lightning now. Yeah, it happens, but usually to the friend of your brother's girlfriend's cousin.

∙ 14y agoIn the way that we would probably imagine it, or even as Shakespeare portrayed it in Macbeth, witchcraft didn't really exist.
What seems to have been the actual case was that there were small groups of pagans (non-christians) who generally kept to themselves (mostly out of fear of Christians), that may have had some knowledge on the use of plants for medicines and practiced some form of shamanism and/or nature worship. There was no organized body of witchcraft, no covens and no broom sticks or boiling cauldrons.
