Trivia[]
- Witch-hunting became a fad in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in Europe, during which either innocent mundanes, real warlocks and even werewolves were lynched. For a time before the practice died out, Shadowhunters supported this false belief in hopes that it would lead to mundanes being able to take care of themselves against demons.[1]
