1. What reasons does Ayla Skinner give for why witchcraft feels empowering to her?

    

   (Hint: She mentions control, individuality, and how she lives her life.)

2. According to the article, how has TikTok changed access to witchcraft and the way it's practised?

    

   (Learners should listen out for comparisons with how things were “years ago.”)

3. What does Frankie Castanea say about the term ‘witch’ and how it's used across different cultures?

    

   (This checks understanding of inclusivity and how the term varies across traditions.)

4. How is witchcraft perceived differently in Europe compared to Africa, according to Dr Isak Niehaus?

    

   (Pay attention to the contrast between healing and harmful uses, and secrecy vs. openness.)

5. What does Ayla say about Hollywood and Disney’s portrayal of witches, and how does she contrast it with her own view?

    

   (This focuses on identifying opinions vs. stereotypes, and recognising intonation and nuance.)

There’s no need to treat it like an exam, just keep an ear out to see if you can hear any information that could fit any of the questions.

Rhyme: Mary, Mary, quite contrary, How does your garden grow? With silver bells, and cockle shells, And pretty maids all in a row.
