Episode 16: New World Witches


Listen Later

Indigenous people, European colonisers, and enslaved West Africans all had unique beliefs surrounding witchcraft.

Devin and Sonya discuss the ways witch beliefs across cultures came together to form a uniquely North American idea of witches, and how this shaped the way we think about witchcraft today.
