What were some beliefs about witchcraft and witches people held in the past? ?

The witches were considered a supernatural entity in the form of a human who can cast spells, harm people, and break the marriages. In general people thought witches or witchcraft personifies evil and Satan.

Another aspect of the witchcraft was that these witches by their witchcraft help the farmers in growing crops, give children to those who are not fortunate to have any, make the wealth multiply overnight.

People thought witches lived among them and there were certain signs, certain objects which could help people identify a witch. They were thought to have a pact with devil as a witch. Usually witches were considered “women” but sometimes men “Witches” were also found.

The first book dealing with the issue was written in 1486 by Jacob Sprenger & Heinrich Kramer named “Malleusmaleficarum”.

it should be

hard work gives a person a sense of satisfaction; likewise, it to pay the bills.

so the punctuation is not correct.
