The Forgotten Familiar

The Evolution of the Witch


Listen Later

Before the word witch was ever spoken, there was only the fire—and the people who sat close to it.

This long-form episode traces the witch's evolution across millennia: from Paleolithic pattern-readers to Egyptian temple magic, from medieval cunning folk to the trials that murdered thousands, from Salem to feminist reclamation, to today's digital age where witchcraft exists between meme and mystery.

This is the Season of Becoming—not becoming something new, but remembering what we've always been.
