Episode 16: New World Witches

from The BabaYaga Project

Indigenous people, European colonisers, and enslaved West Africans all had unique beliefs surrounding witchcraft. What happened when these disparate and often contradictory belief systems collided in the “New World” colonies? Devin and Sonya discuss the ways witch beliefs across cultures came together to form a uniquely North American idea of witches, and how this shaped the way we think about witchcraft today. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
