Can you imagine how a person of the middle ages would view a human would could transplant a human heart? Could you imagine what these people would think of the Hubble telescope and the wonders seen through it?
You got the idea. A middle age person would consider all of this magic, angel, devil... or whatever supernatural power they would imagine.

I have just a guess. Many fairly tales describe witch cauldron as the main tool of a witch. I imagine in that time witch used to make potions. Maybe the herbs in the potions were the real reason for the cures. But I imagine the witch used to pray over the potions asking for some supernatural powers to "bless" the potions. Maybe this is the reason for many believe the witch were using evil powers. Not so far, here in Brazil now a days there are stil many "witchs" that prepare potions with herbs.... but they also pray for some supernatural power.

Wesen weren't magical creatures, they were extraordinarily talented humans. Hexenbiests patronized Rosalee's store for their ingredients. Grimm even ventured into wesen drug addiction and herbs that were poisonous to wesen. Nick had no
special powers in order to see wesen; his eyes were just different.
Now, they seem to be going in an entirely different direction. This raising of the dead thing for one. If it doesn't happen with Juliette, it'll happen with Monroe or even Nick himself. That is a series killer.
The raising from the dead... I think that with Sean Renard the writers got close to the limit... They almost cross it. The way I see Sean was almost dead... like a man that the heart had stoped but the brain is still working (the doctors can try to make the heart works again...)...
But I think that if the writters do it again... They will cross the limit... And them everything will be possible in the show since magic with out a price will be free to use.
Just to add a new element. I also like to see Once Upon a Time. The quote I like most is: all magic cames with a price. I like this sentence because it adds a limit for the things done by magic. The characters can do almost everything they want ... like bring a dead one to live again... But the price for this kind of magic is very expencive... this way the writters of once upon a time can limit the use of this kind of things in the show...
If grimm writers start to bring dead to live with magic and this magic has no consequencies... Well ... my opinion... Grimm will became very boring because... everything done in the past will be undone in the future.
