 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Burchard of Worms
During a personal interview with his imperial master (1000) he was appointed to the vacant Bishopric of Worms; a few days later he was advanced to the priesthood and the episcopal dignity by Willigis at Heiligenstadt.
He rebuilt the walls of Worms and with the approval of Henry II tore down the stronghold of a certain Duke Otto, which served as a place of refuge to criminals and malefactors.
Personally Burchard was a saintly man. His biographer, probably an ecclesiastic, praises his devotion to prayer, his mortification, his fairness and charity towards others.

It would be far too sweeping a conclusion to infer that the Catholic Church by this work proclaimed complete disbelief in witchcraft, but the passage at least proves that a more critical spirit prevailed among the clergy.
The "Decretum" of Burchard, Bishop of Worms (about 1020), and especially its 19th book, often known separately as the "Corrector", is another work of great importance.
Burchard, or the teachers from whom he has compiled his treatise, still believes in some forms of witchcraft - in magical potions, for instance, which may produce impotence or abortion.

 Medieval Sourcebook: The Life of Burchard Bishop of Worms, 1025
Burchard was born in the province of Hesse to parents who were not low according to the world's dignity.
It therefore came to pass that the emperor granted the monastery of Lorsch to the church of Worms and established this with a charter and a perpetual privilege.
Although Burchard greatly resisted and argued that he was unworthy to assume the episcopal office, the emperor insisted vigorously and compelled him to take it up, almost by force.

 Martha Rampton/Dissertation Summary
In the early sources all of these practices are condemned and reference is made to gender, but there is no sens that eith sex is more guilty that the other of practicing the magical arts, nor is there evidence of the classic early modern devil-worshipping witch.
However, by 1000 Burchard of Worms, in the Corrector et Medicus an organized presentation of authoritative materials on penance which is replete with references to magic and magical practitioners) reveals a marked change in respect to the attitude towards women and magic.
Burchard clearly views women as inclined to practice magic or superstitious acts, and his descriptions of female magic begin to resemble the activities of the diabolical hag as presented in the well-known Malleus Maleficarum which was printed in 1486.

Though he died too early to witness the final triumph of his ideas with the Concordat of Worms (1122), his endeavours and his doctrines may be said to have paved the way for an agreement satisfactory to both sides.

His use of the powers he usurped was admirable; and the new and growing tradition of which he is the best example finds its way into the writings of one of the earliest of the canon lawyers, Burchard, Bishop of Worms, who during this reign began to compile his famous collection.
The pope was a magician, a sorcerer, the protector of heretics, a poisoner who had made away with his four predecessors; his deposition was decreed, and in his place was "elected" the Archbishop of Ravenna who for ten years had led the anti-papal movement in Italy.
The Concordant of Worms was a compromise, [ ] hut a compromise which registered the victory of the principle for which the popes, during eighty years of controversy, had contended, namely that bishops should not, as of right, owe their promotion to the lay sovereign.

At the Synod of Toul in 838 a dispute as to the boundaries of parishes was settled by "investigantes testimonio multorum, tam clericorum quam laicorum, qui antiquiores videbantur" (investigating by the testimony of many, clergy and lay, who appeared to be the older), who set out the parish bounds on oath.
Burchard of Worms attributes to one of the Synods of Aachen a diluted version that mixes this procedure with the use of the judgment of God, as in the Alaman and Bavarian laws:
The acts of the Synod of Friuli (796/97) contain a provision requiring espousal and a delay before marriage, to allow enquiries from "vicini vel majores natu loci illius, qui possint scire lineam generationum utrorumque" (the neighbors and elders of the place, who may be able to know the ancestry of both of them).

 Herbs, Knots, and Contraception
Five centuries after Caesarius, bishop Burchard of Worms ordered an unusually heavy penance (ten years of partial fasting) for women who used traditional means of birth control.
He added that “an ancient determination removed such [women] from the church until the end of their lives.” [Decretum, 19, in Noonan, 160] Canon lawyers equated refusal of hospitality to the fertile egg with murder, while absolving men who raped or killed in battle and fully intended to do it again.
As late as 1025 the Corrector Burchardi referred to women's use of “maleficia and herbs” in birth control, implying that ceremonial was as much a part of it as the medical drinks.

Yet, soldiers could still sin through greed for booty or anger, and then they would have to perform penance.

From the late twelfth century onwards, exempla indicate that some men and women thought it unlucky to meet a priest in the street and that others were not averse to crumbling communion wafers over their crops to protect them.
Casting our eyes across the channel for a moment, we find that the penitential handbook written around the year 1000 by Burchard of Worms, the Corrector, condemns those who feared to go outside before cockcrow because evil spirits were abroad (Burchard of Worms 1898, 442).
This might be read as an instance of the beliefs of a literate clergyman who participated in elite culture being in tension with the folkloric beliefs of the masses.
