63. Witches (Themed Episode #13)
In today's Halloween-themed episode, we welcome the spooky season by discussing a few witches from mythology and folklore. We first discuss the antisemitic origins of the popular depiction of the witch. Then, we talk about Black Annis from English folklore, Muma Pădurii from Romanian folklore, Louhi from Finnish mythology, Angitia from pre-Roman mythology, and Sebile and Annowre from Arthurian legend.
This episode has a TRIGGER WARNING for extensive discussions of antisemitism.
