Part 1 Witch Hunts- The origin story
Part 1 Witch Hunts- The origin storyUpdate: 2025-10-23
Description
I've been wanting to cover Witch Hunts for years! But I knew I didn't want to just tell another rendition of the Salem Witch Trials. I will get to Salem in Part 2 but I wanted to know where all of this stemmed from. When was the moment in time that "a witch" became associated with the Devil. In Part 1, I tell Russ about the men that created this hysteria, the way they used their faith to justify murder and how whole towns would come out and watch a woman burn as if it were a spectacle. Moral of this story ... witches aren't the scary ones, ordinary people are.
