Mythic Existence with Jack Daly

The Archaeology of Counter-Witchcraft


Listen Later

On this episode of Mythic Existence, host Jack Daly  discusses the archaeology of counter-witchcraft and popular magic. We look at how protective charms such as witch bottles and dried cats, along with other magic items were used in England to protect against witches and evil spirits. 
Counter-witchcraft and apotropaic magic was popular in England well into the 20th century, and is likely still being carried out today. If you or a loved one fear that you have been cursed by a witch, maybe it would be okay to pee in a jar, stick it full of needles, and stuff it in your fireplace.
