Witches and Witchcraft - Scandinavian Myths and Legends, #4

But a bleak chapter in European history would forever change the witches of the north, turning them darker and crueler than ever before. They emerged from their clandestine meetings under the cloak of darkness and stepped forth as thieves and minions for sinister forces.
