Witchcraft in the 16th century was often associated with intense religious and societal upheaval, particularly during the European witch hunts, where thousands were accused, tried, and executed as witches, largely fueled by superstition and fear of heresy. In contrast, the 20th century saw a shift in perception, with witchcraft often embraced as a form of spirituality or feminist empowerment, notably through movements like Wicca and neopaganism. While the 16th century was characterized by persecution and hysteria, the 20th century reflects a broader acceptance and reinterpretation of witchcraft as a cultural and spiritual practice.
