In medieval Europe, witch hunting was rampant, fueled by superstitions and religious fervor. Women who were believed to possess supernatural powers or engaged in unconventional practices were branded as witches. These witch hunts often involved torture, public humiliation, and execution. Women found guilty were stripped of their dignity, their bodies scarred, and their beauty tarnished.

However, accused witches were seen as rebellious, possessing unnatural powers that threatened the established order. Consequently, their physical appearance was often distorted through propaganda, iconography, and demonization. This branding of witches as ugly and dangerous had a long-lasting impact on how beauty is perceived. The association between women accused of witchcraft and ugliness reinforced the idea that beauty was a marker of virtue and desirability. Women who did not conform to these beauty standards were often targeted and labeled as witches. Furthermore, the looting of beauty extended beyond physical appearances. Witch hunters confiscated the property and belongings of accused witches, leaving them impoverished and stripped of material wealth. The loss of beauty, both physical and material, left these women marginalized and outcast from society. The repercussions of witch hunting are still felt today. The patriarchy and societal pressures continue to dictate beauty standards, promoting unrealistic expectations and causing immense harm to individuals. The narrow definition of beauty perpetuates discrimination, body shaming, and self-esteem issues. Recognizing the historical context of the looting of beauty is crucial in challenging the prevailing beauty standards. By embracing a more inclusive and diverse definition of beauty, we can reclaim what has been plundered. It is essential to celebrate beauty in its various forms and reject the harmful narratives that continue to harm individuals and perpetuate inequality..
