Witches in the Shadows: Remembering Who Came Before Us -...

What this episode covers

Everyone wants to be a witch these days. But what about the ones who kept the craft alive in secret, in shadow, and under fire? In this episode, I am pulling back the glittery veil of WitchTok and “starter kits” to talk about the real history of witchcraft’s survival.From the repeal of the Witchcraft Act in 1951 and the rise of Wicca in the 1960s, to the Satanic Panic of the 80s, and the trend-driven witch surge of today, we’ll trace how witchcraft keeps cycling through pop culture. We’ll also examine what gets lost in the noise. This is a call to respect: for the witches who risked their freedom, for the elders who kept the flame lit when it was not safe, and for the unnamed folk witches who healed, protected, and endured.If you have ever wondered what it really means to claim the word “witch,” this episode will challenge you to go deeper than hashtags and crystal bundles.🎧 Website: bustedbroom.com📸 Instagram & TikTok: @bustedbroomwisdom🧹 Facebook Group: Busted Broom & Broken Matches💬 Discord: discord.gg/UXUVNvtH5J📬 Email: [email protected]
