The iconic image of a witch on a broomstick has apocryphal origins. But whether they could actually fly didn’t stop Christian society from persecuting them.

La Edad Media fue famosa por su desesperada credulidad. La gente solía creer en todo tipo de magia, monstruos y hadas. Pero la idea de la brujería satánica organizada no tomó forma hasta el siglo XV.
The idea of organized satanic witchcraft was invented in 15th-century Europe by church and state authorities, who at first had a hard time convincing regular folks it was real.
