Witches' mark

A witches' mark, also known as a Devil's mark or a witches' teat was a supposed mark on the body indicating (to those participating in witchhunts) that an individual was a witch. Witches' marks were commonly believed to include moles, scars, birthmarks or superfluous nipples. Individuals suspected of being witches were often carefully scrutinized over their entire bodies for evidence of witches' marks, which some believed to be indicators of a pact with Satan.
