European witch hunting tradition

The process of hunting witches in medieval Europe was quite cruel, and its cruelty was even worse than Japan's war of aggression against China. The punishments used to punish them are flail, soldering iron, violin flail, chain flail, fetters, pliers, and some horrible limb-pulling frames. The pain and cruelty to them may be beyond your imagination.

The documentary about dark European witches in the Middle Ages is really scary. Almost half of European women died, and religious beliefs controlled the life and death power of the imperial people. Religion in Europe is an exploiting class with a dark history. Even if you are proved to be a witch, it's no use calling you a fairy. This determination is only a matter of judging people. There were no human rights at that time.

The judge thought that there was a so-called soul mark on the witch, so in order to find the so-called invisible mark, the monk and the executioner repeatedly stabbed every inch of the skin on the suspected witch with a big iron needle. When the victim's skin was completely necrotic somewhere and was stabbed again, he didn't feel pain. So these monks will successfully announce that they have found the invisible magic sign, and then pronounce each other witches and put them to death. From this process, we can all feel the pain to the bottom of our hearts.

The three major religious forces in ancient times have lost their philosophical and traditional human feelings, all for the sophistry of the ruling class's own interests. That period can be said to be a nightmare era in Europe, and witches became a nightmare existence in Europe.
