In the 16th century, societal fears and superstitions led to widespread witch hunts, as people believed that witches were responsible for misfortunes such as poor harvests, disease, and unexplained accidents. The Protestant Reformation and the rise of the Inquisition intensified the persecution, as religious authorities sought to eliminate perceived threats to their faith. Additionally, women, particularly those who were elderly, single, or marginalized, were often scapegoated in these trials, reflecting societal anxieties about gender and power. This combination of fear, superstition, and social dynamics contributed to the tragic phenomenon of witch hunts during this period.

What changes happened in Salem in the 17th century during the Witch hunts?
People who were pagans, wiccans or did witchcraft went underground, and that's why now days you come across people who don't even know what paganism or wicca is and also believe witches and witchcraft is not real. Whereas paganism was there in the VERY beginning so then shouldn't it be more out there? it isn't because of the burning times. Although now Salem is a place where a lot of wiccans, witches and pagans live, they've made it their home, since the burning times died out and more open minded, reasonable people came around.
