In western countries, witches are best known for hunting in Europe and North America from the 15th to the 18th century (Remember Salem Witch Trials?). Most of those who aim, execute torture, and execute are women. Magic is not perfectly related to gender, but the moral panic surrounding magic comes primarily from female sexuality and fear of its perceived threat to Christian churches that men dominate. Since we burned witches to our girls, we have gone through a long way, but the witches still understand the imagination of the general public. In movies and television, witches are often divided into two camps, good and evil. "Are you a good witch or a bad witch?" This is the first question asked after Dorothy landed on Oz. A good witch is usually beautiful, white, and drawn young, but a bad witch is older than normal, less common, and has a deeper skin than usual and is more prone to sputum.

Hunting and cleaning of witches is usually to find evidence of men and witches known as "witches" with moral panic and massive hysteria. The era of classical magic in early modern European and North American colonial era occurred in modern times or from 1450 to 1750, spanning the reform and disarray of the 30 year war, estimated from 35,000 to 100 000 people were executed It was. It is estimated that 1500 to 1800 people, more than 200,000 "witches" in the Western world, including illegal and informal executions, were tortured, burned down or hanged. The last person who was judged to be a witch in Europe was executed in the 18th century. In other areas such as Africa and Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa and Papua New Guinea report on contemporary terrorist attacks and Saudi Arabia and Cameroon are still finding official laws against magic today.
