Why were all women in the Middle Ages in Europe who knew witchcraft?

In the Middle Ages in Europe, witchcraft was femaleThis is one-sided. In fact, in medieval Europe, there were also some men who knew witchcraft, and the reason why we often saw women who knew martial arts in TV series was because: during the feudal society, women had a low status and lacked the right to speak; Widows and elderly women tend to live alone and are withdrawn, which makes them more vulnerable to being accused of being witches

When we watch Western medieval-themed TV and movies, we often see women who know witchcraft, and we will become accustomed to it, which is a subtle effect. In fact, witchcraft is similar to witchcraft in the feudal society period in China, which is to take advantage of people's ignorance to cause chaos in society.

In fact, it is not only women who know witchcraft, in medieval Europe, there was also a certain proportion of men who knew witchcraft, and witchcraft was more of a means and trick to deceive people. Why does history remember only the fact that women can do witchcraft? I recognize two reasons:

1. During the feudal society, women had a low status and lacked the right to speak

In medieval Europe, when it was a feudal society, women were similar to the status of our country at the same time, and they were basically appendages of a patriarchal society, which made it difficult to fight for human rights, and on the contrary, it was easier to be labeled as unethical and moral.

Second, widows and elderly women tend to live alone and are withdrawn, which makes them more vulnerable to being accused of witchcraft

Those who understand witchcraft have the impression that they generally wear black clothes, have a withdrawn personality, have strong magical powers, and do things that are harmful to others, which coincides with the characteristics of old and lonely women. The consistency of the two characteristics led later people to associate witchcraft with women.

In fact, these are a misunderstanding of witchcraft, and it is not only women who know witchcraft, but also some men, but the message we convey makes everyone feel that they are basically women.

Women can witchcraft and become more mysterious.

In the Middle Ages, women had a lower status and were mostly vassals of men. Therefore, men fight outside, and women can only stay in the inner room, and mystery arises. But not all people who know witchcraft are women, and deliberate smears and one-sided propaganda can make people delusional.

In fact, this has something to do with people's prejudice against women in the European Middle Ages, when the status of women was relatively underground, resulting in the ugliness of women.

It's just that people think witchcraft is dark when they mention witchcraft, and women are generally very jealous, so there are many people who use witchcraft to do bad things, so they all associate witchcraft with women.

There should be both men and women who know witchcraft, but in the century at that time, men were running around, and women didn't have a lot to do at home, so they could only find things to pass the time, and some of them also learned because they harmed others.

Personally, I think it's because men are busy, but women don't have anything to do, so they specialize in doing some witchcraft to fight in the palace, just like the witch Gu during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

It was a profound reflection of the low status of women in Europe at that time, men could participate in theocracy, have the priesthood, and be priests, while women were treated as outliers, which had to be said to be a kind of discrimination.

I think it was uncertain whether there were really witches at that time, and at that time many countries were sometimes prejudiced against women, and men often blamed all the fault on women, maybe those were ordinary women at that time.

In fact, there are also men who know witchcraft, but in the TV series, they are all women because of their low social status and lack of voice.

In fact, these so-called witches were burned because they opposed the rule of the Catholic Church. The Church slanders them as heretics! It began with the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the beginning of the Middle Ages in Europe.

In fact, those women were the pioneers of the Age of Enlightenment, and the conservative scholasticists buttoned their hats and burned them down.

In the final analysis, they are victims of the class struggle.

First of all, people were more feudal at that time, and in medieval Europe, there were many works about witches, which made people more convinced of witches, making medieval witch culture more and more popular.

Because people in medieval Europe believed in God very much, they felt that the illnesses and ups and downs they encountered in life were because they did not believe in God, so witches were very popular at that time.

Because witches were very popular at that time, and some witches' prophecies did come true. And then people started to believe in them.

So from this we can see that in the foreign Middle Ages, these people were very faithful to GodThey feel that everything they do is God's will, and it seems to us that they may be believing in God.

I think they should be identified by means, so that they can be distinguished, usually by fire and flooding to test whether they are real witches.

If you want to distinguish between magic and witches in the foreign Middle Ages, it is actually to look at how they do things, magic is generally flawed, but what witches have is mana.

They think that magic is just a trick, a method of spectacle, and that witches are very demagogic and bring disaster to the people, and they can judge it by their appearance.
