The Paradox of Witches

from Lunatic Soup · host Megan Miller and Reyna Edmonds

Today is a witchy one- we are going to unravel The Paradox of Witches—a tale of power, persecution, and the ever-shifting role of the witch through history. Using the Maiden, Mother, Crone archetypes as our guide, we explore how witches have been feared and revered, seen as both healers and heretics, protectors and threats.
