A witch's mark or devil's mark was a bodily mark that witch-hunters believed indicated that an individual was a witch, during the height of the witch trials. The beliefs about the mark differ depending on the trial location and the accusation made against the witch. Evidence of the witch's mark is found earliest in the 16th century, and reached its peak in 1645, then essentially disappeared by 1700. The Witch or Devil's mark was believed to be the permanent marking of the Devil on his initiates to seal their obedience and service to him. He created the mark by raking his claw across their flesh, or by making a blue or red brand using a hot iron. Sometimes, the mark was believed to have been left by the Devil licking the individual leaving a death skull pattern in the skin. The Devil was thought to mark the individual at the end of nocturnal initiation rites. The witch's teat was a raised bump somewhere on a witch's body. It is often depicted as having a wart-like appearance. Das Hexenmal ist ein angebliches Zeichen, das der Teufel nach Abschluss eines Bündnisses (Teufelspakt) vermeintlichen Hexen oder auch Hexenmeistern gleichsam wie einen Stempel auf die Haut drückte. Die Hexengläubigen der Frühen Neuzeit glaubten, es in besonders auffallenden Muttermalen oder dergleichen Hautunregelmäßigkeiten zu erkennen. Da fast jeder Mensch irgendwo auf seinem Körper eine solche Stelle aufweist, konnte man im Rahmen der Hexenprozesse bei gezielter Suche bei fast allen Angeklagten einen solchen „Beweis“ finden. Um ganz sicherzugehen, dass es sich bei der vorgefundenen Hautunregelmäßigkeit um ein Hexenmal handelte, wurde in der Regel die Nadelprobe durchgeführt. Hierbei kam die Vorstellung zum Tragen, dass Hexenmale schmerzunempfindliche Stellen seien. Das Auffinden eines Hexenmals spielt eine Rolle in Nathaniel Hawthornes Klassiker Der scharlachrote Buchstabe.
