Abstract
In every culture and throughout time, witchcraft and witches have been found. The word “witch” has always identified men as well as women; it was used for the first time, in a text of 890 C.E. that refers to a male figure. The witch trials of Europe and America of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, which extended over most of the early modern period, indelibly assign the term “witch” to women .
