"Witch" refers to a woman with supernatural powers in European culture.

Introduction

In Latin, malefica is a term to refer to an evil female magician, referring to "women who practice maleficium (dark magic)". However, European countries do not use this title. For example, the German word hexe means "old woman", and the French word sorcière means "witch". In English, the male equivalent of "witch" is sometimes "warlock".

The following are believed to be abilities that witches have:

• Divination
• Cursing
• Healing/Poisoning
• Séances
• Flight
• Transformation
• Weather manipulation

Witch hunt

In the Middle Ages, girls or women with some superpowers (such as miracles) were almost always regarded as aliens and then burned to death.

Therefore, being a witch or a warlock is a taboo in the West. Once it is accused by thousands of people in the public, hundreds of people speak out, or even ten people testify that she is a witch or a walock, they will be brutally tied up and burned to death. This is what is referred to in popular reference books as "witch hunting" .

In fact, as long as the more beautiful women are almost always jealous of the ugly women, they will be falsely accused of being witches, and then those poor and innocent women will not escape the fate of being interrogated and burned to death. Therefore, in many Western fairy tales or fables, witches or witches are almost always ruthless villains, and are proficient in deception and deception techniques to achieve their goals.

Witches and magical girls

In the ACG subculture, the image of the early Japanese magical girl was set and evolved based on the image of the witch.

In the early days, magical girls were also called majokko (魔女っ子, "little witches"), and this title is still commonly used in the Japanese otaku community.
