Calling all fairytale sluts! (Philosopher sluts and historical accuracy sluts, maybe not so much.) This week we finally visit Switzerland, where we discuss the life and trial of 18th-century Anna Göldi, sometimes referred to as the "last witch" in Europe. Then, we hop back to the 12th century and examine the multiple legends surrounding the local saint Ida of Toggenburg.

Welcome back to another episode where we air out all of England's ye olde dirty laundry, from political rivalries to occultist rituals to brutal executions. We discuss one of England's most famous and influential saints, 12th century martyr Thomas Becket, then explore the trials of Eleanor Cobham and Margery Jourdemayne, two of the earliest witch trials in England.

We welcome another special guest this week, Hellenistic pagan witch Hannah Bute Howe, who gives us a much-needed overview of Greek magical beliefs and practices before we discuss Theoris of Lemnos, a fourth-century BC witch whose trial constitutes the most detailed account of a witch trial to survive from Classical Greece. Then, we discuss the controversial and mysterious story of Greek virgin martyr St. Philomena. Once again, there's somehow too much urine.

In today's episode, we focus on two soldiers who couldn't be more different: 16th-century Spanish mystic and founder of the Jesuit Order St. Ignatius of Loyola, and first-century Celtic warrior queen Boudica. We talk sexist scholarship and Renaissance-era medicine, and play our favorite game: Those People Were Alive at the Same Time!

Another listener request! And it MUST be examined on a hag-by-hag basis. Today we discuss the legendary Slavic folklore figure, Baba Yaga. Then, we take a look at one of the few saints shared by the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches, warrior princess St. Olga of Kiev. And we have one question for Eastern Europe: what's up with all the conflagration?!

We always say that there's nothing like a good, healthy gaggle of nuns. Nuns feature prominently in both of our stories today: first, we welcome our VERY FIRST guest storyteller, former Catholic missionary Madeline McDougall, as she tells the story of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, also known as the Little Flower. Then, we discuss the crazy AF Louviers Possessions of 1652. You'll hear about naked priests, bones yeeted (yote?) into space, and so much more.

Welcome to the two-part Saints & Witches special in which Sarah and Liz interrogate each other at gunpoint. Okay, it's not that serious. But hopefully it will answer any questions you might have about Catholicism, witchcraft, and all the weird stuff in between. Got questions we didn't answer? Stick around for Part 2, coming soon!

If you’ve listened to the podcast for a while, you know by now how we feel about King James. He’s not our favorite. Today we return to Scotland to discuss the North Berwick witch trials and the only post-Reformation Scottish saint, St. John Ogilvie. Get ready for angsty Jesuits, pubic hair, and a cow who fell in love.
