not all inquisitorial courts acknowledged witchcraft. for example, in 1610 as the result of a witch hunting craze the suprema (the ruling council of the spanish inquisition) gave everybody an edict of grace (during which confessing witches were "not" to be punished) and put the only dissenting inquisitor, alonso de salazar frías, in charge of the subsequent investigation. the results of salazar's investigation was that the spanish inquisition did not bother witches ever again though they still went after heretics and crypto-jews.
