PLEASE LIKE/RATE/SUBSCRIBE or we'll feed you to the spider creature in the woods!


Niamh brings you lovely dotes to Japan for the FINALE of our witchcraft series. It's been a ride, eh? We start out with an overview of Shintoism and the relationship between Oni-Women and folkloric witches like the Yamauba. Then we look at Western wiccan influences and Majo, which probably resulted in your fave lil Japanese delivery broom rider. Then to close out, a look at Japan's answer to the Salem Witch Trials - the persecution of the Yuta in Okinawa.


Intro clip from Okinawan Uta - the Women Shamans of Okinawa from Stray Compass Life Channel. Fair use, we own nothing.

Listen to our No Bodies episodes!
