    Episode 75: SOS Send Wives

    In Episode 75 (!), we finally discuss the folklore of the city of New Orleans. We explore the legend of the Casket Girls and the Old Ursuline Convent (were they vampires / were they vampire smugglers / would you rather fight one normal-sized vampire or 500 mini vampires). Then, we discuss the origins and practices of Voodoo and, of course, Marie Laveau.  As we mention in the intro, Saints & Witches is taking some time off! We’ve loved making these past 75 episodes, but we need a break (just thinking about the idea of 75 episodes is making us tired). We’ll post a listening guide here soon for those new to the podcast who don’t know where to start, or for those who haven’t listened to the earlier episodes since they came out. To all our listeners, especially those who have been here from the very beginning, when we were just two pre-pandemic grad students eating too much Mexican food in a studio apartment, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! 3 Enjoying the podcast?

    Episode 74: I Want to F*ck Jesus (And Now It's Everybody's Problem)

    This month, we discuss the Trier witch trials, one of the four largest witch trials in Germany–specifically, the appeals against the hysteria by priest Cornelius Loos. We also explore the medieval convent of Helfta, which in the 13th century was simultaneously home to some very important female scholars and mystics, including Saints Mechtild of Hackeborn and Gertrude the Great, besties for the resties.

    Episode 72: Snake Milk

    Korea! Hurrah! We’re excited to be here for the first time. First, we explore the early days of the Joseon Dynasty, including that one tumblr meme with the guy falling off his horse and the witchcraft of Deposed Crown Princess Kim (Gim), wife of Munjong of Joseon. Then we take a quick 500ish-year leap forward to catch the end of the Joseon Dynasty and talk about the patron saint of Korea, Andrew Kim Taegon, and An Jung-geun, a Korean Catholic national hero.

    Episode 71: Walter Langton F*cked My Stepmom

    Episode 71 is a rollercoaster from start to finish. [First of all, WE KNOW that Liz’s audio is not great. We see you, we hear you, we agree with you about that. Thank you for your patience, etc. etc.] First, we take another trip to the Netherlands, where we meet St. Lidwina of Schiedam, a medieval virgin mystic with a story full of body horror, demonic encounters, and…ice skating. Then, we cross the English Channel and discuss Walter Langton, the treasurer of King Edward I who was accused of murder, adultery, simony, and…witchcraft. There may or may not be another gay love story in there somewhere. Enjoying the podcast? Please take a moment to rate/review/subscribe! We'd love to hear from you.

    Episode 70: Can Your Mom Give Me a Ride Home?

    We recorded this on America's birthday, but we're discussing a topic neither of us know literally anything about: the Mongol Empire. Liz gives us an overview of the history and culture of the Empire, including Genghis/Chinggis Khan's rise to power and the witchcraft accusations against Fatima Khatun, a favorite of Empress Töregene (spoiler alert: we make it gay, as always). Then, Sarah does a book report on the Ystoria Mongalorum, the journal of the diplomatic mission of Franciscan friar Giovanni (John) of Plano Carpini (The Weenie). Enjoying the podcast?

    Episode 69: Thoughts and Prayers for Her Vagina

    Episode 69 calls for a good time, so we decided to explore two chapters of the epic Medici saga. First, we follow Giovanni and Giulio de’ Medici as they infiltrate the church to eventually become Pope Leo X and Pope Clement VII (just two guys swingin' their dicks around!). Then, we explore the insane life and controversy of their descendant, the “Black Queen” Catherine de’ Medici. From the Renaissance to the Reformation to the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre, it's clear that God rewards the schemer. Enjoying the podcast? Please take a moment to rate/review/subscribe!

    Episode 68: Papa Was a Rolling Stone

    This month, we dive into two stories of colonization and betrayal in America that are generally Not a Good Look™. First, we discuss the witchcraft beliefs and practices of the Zuni tribe of New Mexico, including the controversial ethnographic studies of Frank Hamilton Cushing. Then, we follow the life of St. Junípero Serra from Mallorca to the Spanish California missions all the way to controversy and iconoclasm. Maybe the real magic was the infected mosquito bite we got along the way! Enjoying the podcast? Please take a moment to rate/review/subscribe! We'd love to hear from you.
