Giambattista della Porta: The Professor of Secrets

What this episode covers

Giambattista della Porta published a recipe in 1558 that proved witches weren't flying to sabbaths but hallucinating on herbs rubbed into their skin. The Church silenced him. He removed the recipe. In 1960, a German professor tested it on himself and confirmed it worked.
