The witchcraft narrative is a longstanding part of human history, spanning across cultures and time periods. It refers to the beliefs, practices, and accusations surrounding the idea of witchcraft. In many societies, the concept of witchcraft has been associated with supernatural powers, typically used for evil or harmful purposes. Throughout history, individuals who were believed to possess magical abilities or engage in witchcraft were often feared and persecuted. The witch trials of the 16th and 17th centuries, particularly in Europe and North America, are infamous examples of this persecution. During these trials, many men and women, often marginalized and vulnerable members of society, were accused and executed based on suspicions of practicing witchcraft.

Manga with a pink-haired witch who is the daughter of a noble family in a historical setting

I'm trying to find a manga that I once read. The main character is a female lead (FL) with pink hair. She is also a witch in a kingdom/empire (I don't remember which one it was) where witches were hunted. The FL is the last/one of the last witches and gets taken away by the emperor to remove/solve a curse from another witch. It is probably an isekai (reincarnation)/time travel, because she remembers (from a book or past life, I don't know) that she died at the palace (I forgot how). I believe that the FL was able to transform into a bird. She also has a caring family and they tried to hide her when the emperor came (when the emperor was at their mansion, the FL transformed herself into a bird and at some point, the emperor put her in a birdcage). I believe that, at the capital, she lived alone (without other nobles, but with maids and so on) in a mansion.

Isekai is portal fantasy where someone is transported to another world. Do you think that was the case, or just reincarnation or time travel?

During these trials, many men and women, often marginalized and vulnerable members of society, were accused and executed based on suspicions of practicing witchcraft. The witchcraft narrative typically revolves around the idea that witches make pacts with the devil, perform rituals, and cast spells to harm others or control natural events. The accused witches were often seen as a threat to the established religious and social order.

Amelie Bourbon is a witch, destined to die at the hands of her lover, the ruthless tyrant Serwin Hennessia. So when ordinary office worker Lee Suyeon is reborn as Amelie, she vows to change the ill-fated story. The problem is the “calamity” sealed inside Serwin’s body, which threatens to ruin him and the entire world, can only be calmed when he is near Amelie. As she grows closer to Serwin, Amelie must hone her magic to subdue his violent impulses, but can she defeat calamity once and for all?

The protagonist, Lee Soo-Yeon, was an office worker who'd been reading a fantasy novel about a noblewoman, Renee Delaheim, who kills a tyrannical emperor to avenge her sister, Amelie Bourbon, who'd been imprisoned and executed by the emperor.

Upon reading the final chapter of the novel, however, Soo-Yeon is frustrated by the unhappy ending, and goes to sleep thinking that she could've written a better ending than the author. She then wakes up inside the world of the novel as Amelie.

Amelie is a pink-haired witch who, at this point in the story, is alive and well, and has been living away from her father, Count Delaheim, and sister, Renee, for some time. She goes to pay them a visit for the first time in years, but her visit coincides with a visit from the emperor.

Wishing to avoid an encounter with the emperor, Amelie transforms into a bird and attempts to hide in the corner of the room, next to a plant pot. The emperor spots her from across the room, however, grabs her, and subsequently places her into a bird cage.

Tetia

Tetia (テティア, Tetia) is a young apprentice witch at Qifrey's Atelier. She loves the idea of clouds and dreams of creating the perfect cloud magic.

They were believed to have the power to cause illness, crop failure, or death. Fear and paranoia fueled by religious beliefs and cultural superstitions led to the widespread belief in witches and their persecution. Various cultural and religious beliefs contributed to the development of the witchcraft narrative. In some cultures, witchcraft was seen as a form of folk magic, where practitioners used their knowledge of herbs and spells for positive purposes. However, in other cultures, particularly those influenced by Christian beliefs, witchcraft was demonized as a form of black magic associated with Satan. As societies evolved and modernized, beliefs in witchcraft gradually faded; however, remnants of the witchcraft narrative still exist in some communities. In certain parts of the world, accusations of witchcraft continue to lead to violence and persecution, particularly against elderly women or individuals who are seen as different or threatening to the social order. The witchcraft narrative has also left a cultural imprint on literature, film, and popular culture. Witches have been portrayed in various ways, ranging from powerful and alluring figures to grotesque and malevolent beings. These portrayals reflect the complex and enduring fascination with witchcraft and its place in our collective imagination. In conclusion, the witchcraft narrative has been a pervasive and influential element in human history. It has shaped beliefs, fueled fear and persecution, and left a mark on cultural representations. While the context and understanding of witchcraft have changed over time, the witchcraft narrative continues to captivate and provoke discussion on the boundaries of belief, morality, and power in society..
