Something wicked this way comes, and it's called patriarchy. "The Man" doesn't like a strong woman, so what's a guy to do? Convince others that she's affiliated with the devil, of course. Amy takes us to the Fulda Witch Trials in Germany where we meet Merga Bien, a woman on trial for the dark arts. Shelby goes to Sweden and introduces us to Märet Jonsdotter - a badass lady who refused to confess any affiliation with the devil. Buckle up. These are some witchy tales.
