and then she was branded a witch and burned at the stake for taking over minds. Music wouldn't reemerge for 300 years.

And then she was branded a witch and feared and revered for her witchly powers because it seems pretty fucking stupid to believe someone truly has strange and dangerous powers and immediately threaten their life.

Later witch hunts were just ways to turn mob violence against specific individuals who the original accusers didn't actually believe were witches but wanted to kill.
