EPISODE 6 Witchcraft
from The Age of Enfrightenment Hosted by Nick Velardi
"Double, double toil and trouble, fire burn and caldron bubble." Whether in Shakespeare, modern horror films, adorable Halloween costumes, or ancient religious texts, witches hold a special place in our collective human experience. We've seen them as healers, amusing fads, and as mortal threats, but whatever lens we choose to peek through, the undeniable fact is that they are real. Part of the fabric of history is made up of people who actually lived as either self-proclaimed or accused witches, and in most cases their stories were grim and tragic. On this introductory episode to Witchcraft, your AoE hosts explore where it came from and what it has meant to humanity.
