Black magic was a fear that plagued Europe and America in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Although women have been widely accused of practicing witchcraft, men and children have been subjected to brutal torture. Sixty thousand people have been executed for witchcraft in the United States and Europe alone over a period of three centuries. Another pitiful aspect of this persecution is that if people are detained for alleged witchcraft, the onus is on those who are detained to prove that they are not witches.
In the name of this, they will be subjected to cruel tests. It's about the six impossible tests that were so popular at the time.
The accused women were taken to the shores of a nearby pond, dressed only in underwear, handcuffed and thrown into the water. If they are sorcerers, the knots will come out easily. The method adopted to keep the innocent from drowning was to tie a rope around their waists. If they do not rise after a short time in the water, the rope is pulled up to save them from dying, but many women have died in the process. The water experiment was conducted according to the concept that water is sacred. They thought that if the accused were sorcerers, the water would reject the person. If the women who were thus tied up and thrown into the water somehow broke to the brink of death and returned to the surface of the water, they would be judged to be sorcerers and then beheaded.
An obvious mole was enough to confirm the allegation that it had cast a spell on you. Women in England and elsewhere were often subjected to such tests and dressings in the seventeenth century. In those days, even the hair on the body was shaved off and the marks hidden inside it were fixed. Books and embassies were published at that time explaining what kind of signs the sorcerer had.
Get infected as soon as you touch any woman. Then the second touch the disease is cured. If so, it was thought at the time that the woman who touched him was definitely a witch.
Another test used against those practicing witchcraft at that time was to have them read the Bible. It was widely believed at the time that the Bible was not obvious to witches. This would have paralyzed many innocent people who were illiterate and illiterate.
The basis of the hanging was that the witches were regular broom-carriers and had no weight. People have convicted many in these trials. The victims of these experiments were underweight women.
The idea of seeing them inside the skin of witches who have no marks on their skin is the reason for getting naked and stabbing around. This experiment shows that witches are not bloodthirsty, and if they are bleeding, they are not spies. At that time, some women who could not afford this exercise were killed in such a bloody test.
