Despite the involvement of religious authorities, the vast majority of those convicted of witchcraft were convicted by secular courts, and local courts were especially zealous. (Source: Jenny Gibbons, “Recent Developments in the Study of the Great European Witch Hunt”.)
After the terrible devastation caused by the Black Death 1347-1349 , these rumors increased in intensity and focused primarily on witches and plague-spreaders. This does not mean that simple overt sex war is treated as a satisfactory explanation for witch-hunting, or that the men who were accused are not to be taken into account.

Witch-hunts in early modern Europe (circa 1450-1750)
In this article we will take a look at the European witch hunts of circa 1450-1750, and their gender-selective aspects. Although both men and women were accused and executed for witchcraft in Europe during this era, roughly 75%-80% of those exposed to trial and execution were women.
It should be noted that when we study the pre-modern European witch craze, we find great variation over time and between different regions of Europe. The frenzy of the witch-hunts waxed and waned for roughly 300 years, and the dynamics – including gender-dynamics – could also vary greatly from one locality to the next. As an example, we know of only four executions for witchcraft in Ireland, while over 25,000 witches were killed in Germany. (Source: Jenny Gibbons, “Recent Developments in the Study of the Great European Witch Hunt”.) In England, over 90% of those accused of witchcraft were women, while Estonia had women accounting for less than half of those accused, and in Iceland only 10% of those accused of witchcraft were women. (Source: Robin Briggs, “Witches & Neighbours: The Social and Cultural Context of European Witchcraft”, pp. 260-61.)
The immense over-representation of women as victims in witch-trials and witch-executions in England (and in its colonies in North America) is probably one of the reasons why the English-speaking world tend to strongly associate witches, witch-trials and with-hunts with female victims. In essence, the English regional experience has been assumed, at least by English-speakers, to be typical for Europe as a whole.

Reviews for "The Witch of the Day's guide to harnessing the elements for magic"
- Jessica - 2/5 stars - I was really disappointed with "Witch of the day". The storyline was all over the place and there was no clear direction. It felt like the author just put a bunch of random ideas together without much thought. The characters were also very underdeveloped and I couldn't connect with any of them. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this book.
- Andrew - 1/5 stars - "Witch of the day" was one of the worst books I've ever read. The writing style was incredibly dull and the dialogue felt forced. The author seemed to be trying too hard to be funny, but it just fell flat. The plot was predictable and the twist at the end was completely unnecessary. I couldn't wait for it to be over.
- Sarah - 2/5 stars - I had high hopes for "Witch of the day" but it ended up being a letdown. The pacing was off and the story dragged on for way too long. The romance felt forced and unrealistic, and the magical elements were poorly explained. I was really hoping to enjoy this book, but it just didn't live up to my expectations.
- Jason - 3/5 stars - "Witch of the day" was an okay read but nothing special. The concept had potential, but the execution fell short. The writing style was mediocre and the characters lacked depth. There were some interesting moments, but overall, it was forgettable. I wouldn't necessarily discourage others from reading it, but I also wouldn't recommend it.
