We don't know how long The maidens, Salem or the Brotherhood have been operating for. Perhaps Salem was only able to develop a way to steal a maidens power only just prior to the series and previously she just had them hunted down and killed and she didn't know how to ensure that one of her subordinates would gain the maidens power.
