Witches didn't exist, and yet thousands of people were executed for the crime of witchcraft. Why? The belief in magic and witchcraft has existed in every recorded human culture; this podcast looks at how people explained the inexplicable, turned random acts of nature into conscious acts of mortal or supernatural beings, and how desperate communities took revenge against the suspected perpetrators.

Customer Reviews
Informed, interesting and woefully pertinent.
I love this podcast. This is my fifth time listening to the series. I learn something new every time and it’s a pleasure doing so.
I seem to have a reaction every time the RNC (US) pushes a Trump allegation. I hold on to my cream pie smashathon instead of building a pyre.
The April Fool’s episode kept my interest and confusion until the explanation. I hadn’t made the connection of the date.
Compelling and informative
Been hooked on this podcast since finding it a few weeks ago. Provides a plethora of information while still remaining interesting.
Love love this podcast!
I love history and this podcast is wonderful to listen to. Very entertaining. When will you post new podcasts?
