Witches - Halloween Special
Manage episode 305961820 series 2536397
Hello and welcome to Ripe Good Scholar, spooky edition. Since it’s Halloween, let’s explore a topic that would have been all too familiar to the Shakespearean audience: witches. King James in particular was very anti-witch and led some of the most brutal witch hunts in history. Today Dr. Lisa Grogan and I are going to explore the history of witchcraft and witch hunts, specifically focusing on the time of King James. Lisa is familiar with the history of witchcraft because she identifies as a witch and follows the wiccan religion. Join us as we explore what it was to be a witch and how the perception of witches changed over time
For this episode we watched a documentary on the Malleus Maleficarum and looked over King James’ Daemonologie. If you want to check out those and so much more, head over to ripegoodscholar.com/ep45.
