This week on Two Witches Talking, your two witchy aunts are diving deep into one of history's most chaotic and bloody chapters — the “witch” trials. They’re talking about the bizarre, the baffling, and the downright absurd accusations that had entire communities pointing fingers at their neighbors. From King James I's full-blown obsession with witchcraft (seriously, the man wrote a whole book about it) to the Malleus Maleficarum — the notorious witch-hunting manual that basically became the blueprint for hysteria — Megan and Morgan are unpacking the historical and religious forces that made this dark era possible.

And oh, the accusations themselves? Buckle up. They’re getting into witch cakes, animal familiars, and the kind of "evidence" that would get laughed out of any courtroom today — and should have then too, because where’s the logic? They explore the deeply tangled social context that turned neighbor against neighbor in Colonial America, and they end on a note that's equal parts sobering and hopeful: the long road to exonerating the accused, some of which took centuries. It's a wild ride through history that reminds us just how dangerous fear and superstition can be, and how important it is that we never forget it.

We want your witchy, spooky, or cryptid stories!
