Why was witchcraft often the explanation for illness?
People in previous centuries often blamed witches for illness, drought, violent weather and any blight or disease that destroyed livestock or crops. Before the Enlightenment, everything in nature was thought to be directly controlled by God or the Devil, along with demons, angels, witches, sorcerers and countless other kindly or hostile spirits. Even after the Enlightenment, few people were educated enough to understand how nature functioned and most people maintained their ancient superstitions. It was not only easy to label a widow or single woman "witch," but very often quite profitable, since the "witch's" property could be forfeited to the local magistrate or to the Church.
In a time when "germs" are unknown, personal hygiene is some what dubious, and medical treatment so primitive as to be nearly harmful to the patient, there needed to be something or someone to point a finger at as the cause.
People of the time were heavily influenced by the organized religions. When God is responsible for all good that comes, and the Devil is responsible for all bad things that occur, magic, witchcraft and witches were common scapegoats.
In some cases people who were marginalized: the extremely poor, widows, people with physical deformities, and other "undesirables" were accused as witches as a way to get rid of them.
Illness was seen to strike with no reason and it was easy to accuse someone than to wrap your mind around the idea of teeny tiny little "germs". Even if someone was to explain germs the people of the time would think germs were just some kind of magic.
