[YouTube Drop] 🕷️ Spiders and the Tudors:
Update: 2025-09-13
Description
It’s autumn, and the spider webs are everywhere. But in Tudor England, spiders weren’t just pests. They carried layers of meaning: omens of luck, remedies for illness, and even ties to witchcraft. In this minicast, we’ll look at how Tudors thought about spiders, their place in folklore and medicine, and why these creepy crawlies are still tied to Halloween today.
