The witches were considered a supernatural entity in the form of a human who can cast spells, harm people, and break the marriages. In general people thought witches or witchcraft personifies evil and Satan.
Another aspect of the witchcraft was that these witches by their witchcraft help the farmers in growing crops, give children to those who are not fortunate to have any, make the wealth multiply overnight.
People thought witches lived among them and there were certain signs, certain objects which could help people identify a witch. They were thought to have a pact with devil as a witch. Usually witches were considered “women” but sometimes men “Witches” were also found.
