Witches, their familiars, evil spirits, haints, maleficium, whatever you call it, it was always lurking.  In this episode we will discuss ways our ancestors protected themselves and their homes, from salt and herbs to witch's balls, bells, and marking to painting the ceiling of the porch. As a bonus, Carol throws in some advice to protect from the bad guys also!

Mary Todd Lincoln...tragedy was always lurking around the corner for her.  But her extravagant spending made her an enemy of the American people within months of her husband's presidency.
Let us know your thoughts, did going over budget on the White House remodel, hiding it from her husband, then expecting him to bill it the country make her an asshole?
