This episode isn't really about Salem but it is related to Salem. Salem's foreign cousins if you will.  Today we will be talking about a brief history of Witchcraft in the 150 years or so leading up to Salem in England and Scotland. This is in no way a complete history nor is it inclusive of all major events.

So sit back, relax, and practice your oh good god what the fuck faces.

Also, note, when I am speaking about the Pendle Witches, I misspeak and say that Alyson is Demdike's daughter when I meant to say her granddaughter.  Whoops. Subject me to the water test, I suppose.
