“In the context of this book’s history of witchcraft, it becomes more evident why that is: these are all traits long associated with witches; features seen as ignorant, wicked, and shameful. Women with these traits have been demonized since the Middle Ages and across history, from Helena Scheuberin to Stormy Daniels.”
― Marion Gibson, Witchcraft: A History in Thirteen Trials

“As hatred between the two sides grew, it became permissible to kill fellow Christians, now branded as demonic opponents; something that Christians had been inflicting upon Jews and Muslims for many centuries but had now turned on each other.”
