If you were left handed why were you considered a witch?

In historical contexts, left-handedness was often associated with the supernatural and deemed "sinister," a term derived from the Latin Word for left, "sinistra." Many cultures viewed left-handed individuals with suspicion, linking them to witchcraft or evil due to their deviation from the norm. This stigma was exacerbated during witch hunts, as societies sought scapegoats for misfortunes. Consequently, left-handed people were sometimes falsely accused of being witches or engaging in malevolent practices.
