In this opening episode of Shadow & Scripture, we step into the world of King James VI & I — a young ruler living in a time when storms were suspicious, sickness was mysterious, and fear shaped everyday life. Before he ever sponsored the King James Bible, he wrote a book called Daemonologie (1597) to explain why he believed witches were real and dangerous.

This episode explores the fears that surrounded King James, the witch trials he witnessed, and the Bible stories he used to defend his beliefs. It’s a gentle, story‑driven introduction designed for students, teachers, and curious listeners who want to understand how superstition, Scripture, and politics shaped an entire era.
