However, this began changing during the early to mid 20th century. In the 1920s, the long standing Witch-cult hypothesis gained increasing attention in occult circles. Though the hypothesis itself was largely falsifiable, it spurred renewed interest into Witchcraft - this time with new eyes and free of the panicked bias of years past.
