Healers called witches
Are Natural Healers Being Labeled? | Holistic Life
Natural healers were often targeted as witches due to a combination of religious fear, social anxieties, economic motives, and entrenched misogyny. These women were often seen as a threat to the established order because of their knowledge, independence, and the vital role they played in their communities. The persecution of these healers reflects broader patterns of fear and control that were prevalent during times of uncertainty and change in European history.
