This is a very old trait, but was solidified and given shape by the influential Jesuit theologian Martin Delrio, who published ‘Magical Investigations’ in 1599 – 1600. His book popularized the idea that demon spirits could possess or inhabit a female human body. It also suggested how to identify and track them. For the witch-hunters and storytellers of early modern Europe, the levitating, flying witch was a figure of grotesque femininity.” – From Witches To Victorian Mediums: The Abuse Of Levitating Women -- source link
