520 _aWitchcraft and death were closely linked during the witch hunts of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Witches were accused of causing death through magic, while their own execution, often by fire, symbolized the purification of society. Demonologists, obsessed with the power of the devil, justified these persecutions by associating witchcraft with malevolence. This evocation of death, both inflicted and suffered, and even used in necromancy rituals, reveals the collective fears and social control mechanisms of the time.
