>>9907054Believe of European Christianity in witchcraft was fairly weak until the Muslim conquest of Spain.
This is where we likely see gaps filled in with a concept of witchcraft that we eventually find in the Malleus maleficarum.
A which is a women or man (female particle in German but unisex in meaning) that fucked a daemon/devil to gain the ability to work magic.
(Muslim believe in witchcraft is based on a contract with Djinn)
As the word "devils" was used in the Malleus maleficarum this was later interpreted by the uneducated masses to mean the one male devil, and him not being a fag, making witches female, while Henryk Instytor actually mentioned incubi and succubi in the book (the succubus you know from /h /e /d ), allowing for male and female witches.
When it comes to pop culture, it has very little to do with the banned witchcraft.
e.g. of the characters in the image only one fits the definition of witch by Henryk Instytor. ... the one gaining power by fucking a daemon in the once popular TV series.
