It was changed when James 1 england and 6 of Scotland gave us the King James
Bible. He was terrified of witches and persecuted them constantly. He only
got to the throne because he was the Protestant claim, the catholic claim
was a more distant cousin. His changes were accepted because the protestant
faith was still very new and the King was seen as its head and it  gave the
populace a new scape goat for all their woes. The word insome translations
of the original is 'poisoner' and in some assasin.
