The origins of witchcraft are difficult to pinpoint exactly due to its long and complex history. Witchcraft practices and beliefs can be traced back to ancient civilizations such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Greece. However, the term "witchcraft" as we understand it today emerged during the medieval period in Europe. It is important to note that witchcraft has different manifestations and cultural variations throughout history and across different regions of the world.
Allegations of witchcraft were real enough in the middle ages. In Henry VI Parts 1 and 2 two different women are accused of witchcraft, including Joan of Arc, who was indeed accused of witchcraft and burned at the stake. Shakespeare was only reflecting the truths of history.
