WF Dr. Marion Gibson - It Almost Feels Like They Are Waiting There For You

What this episode covers

https://www.missingwitches.com/wf-dr-marion-gibson-were-all-sharing-our-history-together/ In this week's episode, we get to meet Dr. Marion Gibson, a leading authority on the history of the witch trials. Throughout her career and especially in her latest book, WITCHCRAFT A History in 13 Trials, Marion haunts the archives, trudges in the footsteps of the women accused, and of their panicked accusers as well. "I do feel that records lead you where they want you to go. And that's something that I think a lot of historians feel. Most of them don't talk about because it sounds kind of magical, doesn't it? But they do, you know, you find things because it almost feels like they are waiting there for you." She brings their lives and socio-political circumstances alive and helps us think about what it means to be seen as threatening just for existing as we are.
