Why dress up as a witch for Halloween?
Along with the pumpkin, the witch is the quintessential symbol of Halloween.
It is not uncommon to find it on banners, balloons and other decorations for this holiday.
But where does this come from?
We must delve a little into history, and in particular that of the witches.
For a long time, magicians and other healers were appreciated and even had their entrances to the court.
Witches were left alone or were in the worst case excluded from society.
Everything begins to change in the 13th century, when the theologian Thomas Aquinas first associates witches with the devil.
It is the beginning of the end.
In the 14th century, the Pope who had just been elected, John XXII, thought he had been the victim of an attempted bewitchment ordered by the bishop of Cahors.
He will be condemned to be burned.
If we talk a lot about the city of Salem in the United States and the persecution that witches suffered there, France was not spared.
Women, and even little girls, were burned in the town of Bergheim in the Haut-Rhin.
For several centuries, witches have therefore symbolized absolute evil and have been portrayed in negative ways on many occasions.
However, if they are popular for Halloween, it is for a completely different reason.
Surely inspired by their story, printers began adding witches to Halloween greeting cards in the 19th century.
They were indeed the perfect representatives of this frightening party.
Witches have thus become inseparable from Halloween and we almost always think of them to dress up on that day.
In addition to the witch Halloween costumes, you can add makeup to make it even scarier, but also accessories like the pointed hat, or the essential broom.
Moreover, some say that the witches used the broom for its magical properties if it was made of broom wood.
Another advantage, the broom is an ordinary object of everyday life.
They could stay hidden and not expose themselves because everyone had one.
