The History of Witches and Witchcraft: What You Never Knew about the Witch
You may think you know a lot about witches, but much of what is published is based on fairy tales, here we take a look at what witches really were, why they were persecuted, and will reveal how you can know if you're a witch. This is the first in a number of videos I expect to produce on this subject, as it is huge and covers so many cultures and ages, and so this is a very focused discussion of the European Middle Ages. I hope you enjoy!
We talk about witch hunts, wiccan, and all things witchery, in this introduction to witch craft.
