Witchcraft and Magic in the Middle Ages

To understand a witch, you must first understand how the church distorts the foundation of a witch. Compared to the current viewpoint, I am constantly considering how society watches medieval witches. The theme of magic and magic was influenced deeply in the Middle Ages, which brought the influence of modern society, also known as the modern version of modern magic. The disappointing result of our civilization history is that medieval magic and magic rarely receives rational consideration from aristocrats, many of which fail to understand the full scope of magic and magic.

In the Middle Ages inherited a solid belief in magic, magic and devil from ancient times, but it became more sensational and made the world terrible. People believe they are surrounded by devils, they are looking for every opportunity to hurt them, plague, storm, eclipse and famine are the workings of the devil; but they firmly believe that the ritual of the church I believe we can deal with these enemies. Some of the early Christian emperors sent a verdict against magic, but the attempt to eradicate magic was done until the 14th century. A terrible epidemic known as black death that destroyed Europe in the century seems to exacerbate the unforgettable fear of the invisible demonic world. For 300 years, discovery of witches and destruction of witches suspects (mainly women) is a permanent feature of European civilization.

In the Middle Ages, magic was a punishable crime, and those who were accused of magic rather than Christianity were called heathen. The defendant was tortured by magic, then he / she was hanged or hanged. Witches were persecuted in the early Middle Ages because the Church declared them to be enemies of God and they were thought to be the cause of any natural disaster, illness or death. Wizards were persecuted during the Middle Ages but historians showed that massive hunting and incineration began after the end of the Middle Ages.

Medieval magic is a very complex topic, and because of the big differences between the different cultures and religions of the Middle Ages it can not be precisely defined. Its most common definition is belief and practical magic skill. In the Middle Ages, magic has religious, medicinal and sacred roles, which can be regarded as the essence of supernatural, magic, superstitution, possession, and worship. In the Middle Ages, Christianity, in particular, had a major impact on people's ideas of magic. Heaven believed in magic, thought that it dominates nature with their own will and is a force related to the goddess Diana. Many Christian saints argued that magic is an evil medieval act, but the heathen religion and magic are thought to be the right to separate people from devil's invention and Christianity.
