The Forgotten Familiar

From Gentle Paganism to Dark Witchcraft


Listen Later

Long before “witchcraft” became a word whispered in fear, it was simply the rhythm of life, rooted in the turning seasons, in gratitude for the land, in the quiet power of those who remembered.

Through the story of Anwyn, a healer in the village of Fernlow, we follow the slow shift from trusted midwife to suspected witch. As the Church’s shadow spreads, suspicion takes root, and the sacred is twisted into the sinister. Her story is not unique, it is the story of countless women across Europe whose names were erased, but whose echoes remain.

Step into the world before the burnings, before the trials...when magic was still a way of life.
