Witchcraft wasn't a real thing. Because of the power of the church, the easiest way to get rid of a female criminal was to accuse her of being a witch. Not to say it wasn't used on men, because it was, but the reason why women were particularly selected was because the law couldn't be trusted to do what's right, due to the trad views of society. (sound familiar?)
They were likely mostly poisoners, child abusers and other trash.

So what's the basis of the stuff people do today? Are there not Satan worshippers?
Again Satan worshippers.
No, Satan worshippers are a thing that exist solely in the heads of retarded tradcons. People can be evil without following a ridiculous ideology.
Probably occasionally women who wouldn't fuck the village elder as well.
