WITCHES 

Reading 1

Witches are said to have magical powers. They often use these magical powers to cast spells over others. In early modern times, it was common to blame witches for bad luck and misfortune. “Witch trials”, events where local citizens were accused of practicing witchcraft and put on trial before the community, were held in towns across Europe and the early United States. Currently, we imagine witches as wearing pointy hats and black, ragged robes, and spending their time riding broomsticks, keeping black cats as pets, and concocting magic potions over large cauldrons.
