Bewitched, Bothered & On Trial: A Witch Trial Deep Dive

This week we are looking at the original Cancel Culture… The Witch Trial!For 300 years our go-to allegation against someone we didn’t like or trust was of course, that they must be a witch. We then poked and prodded at them until we found a freckle that proved their allegiance to Satan himself - sounds legit, right?It turns out we have been accusing each other of being Satan worshipping, baby eating monsters for far longer than we can even imagine!In this episode we take a look at the tradition of witch-hunting and how that manifested into full blown witch trials that lasted over 200 years, killing thousands.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/redroompod/messageTo access bonus weekly episodes of Red Room join Patreon HERE Hosted on Acast.
