Witches
Manage episode 305774008 series 2118710
Every village had one, the local woman present at the birth of every new arrival to the community. The wise and friendly healer who took away the locals' illnesses and complaints with a marvelous concoction of herbs and ingredients. Some called them witches, others called them healers, but most would agree that in today's viewpoint, we just know them as persecuted.
Glen and Mike join together in part four of this Halloween special to discuss these ladies and gentlemen of yesteryear who were persecuted for only trying to help out their local community, or accused of something much darker when fearmongering kicked in. This is the Tea and Grumpets Witches Special.
