The history of witches is complex, evolving from ancient magic users who were both feared and respected to being demonized and persecuted during the European witch hunts, most infamously in the Salem witch trials. Originally, individuals practicing magic were seen as potentially using it for good or ill, and the concept of a "witch" was present in many ancient civilizations, including those in the Bible and Mesopotamia. 
In ancient civilizations like Greece, Rome, and Egypt, magic was a common part of life, and priests and priestesses performed rituals for healing and protection.
The Bible mentions early examples of those who used magic, such as the "Witch of Endor," who was consulted by King Saul.
In many cultures, individuals who used magic were seen as having the potential for both good and harm, with "wise women" and healers sometimes seen as assets to their communities.
