184: The Devil's Secretaries or Scapegoats? The Witches History Erased


Listen Later

Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

So the other night I was deep into my usual bedtime routine of doomscrolling, and I stumbled across this headline that said: “DID YOU KNOW: The Last Witch Trial Was in 1944.”

And I was like… I’m sorry, what? 1944? Like while the rest of the world was fighting Nazis, someone was in a courtroom yelling, “She’s a WITCH”? Be for real.

That sent me down one of the craziest rabbit holes yet. And I quickly realized… wow. Everything I thought I knew about witch trials… Changed. Forever.

Not only was witchcraft something you could go to court for less than a hundred years ago, but the *FIRST* witch in America wasn’t even in Salem! The first witch trial in America happened DECADES before Salem!

Yeah. So turns out, witches never really went out of style. And it all started way before you think. So I’m here to set the record straight on the witches no one talks about. Welcome to the dark history of Witches Who Got Away.
