Witches—feared, revered, and endlessly fascinating. In this episode, I sit down with Judika Illes, renowned author and occult expert, to unravel the truth about witchcraft. From the dark days of historical witch trials to the thriving magical practices of today, we explore what it really means to be a witch. Judika shares insights from her book, Witches: A Compendium, diving into the myths, the legends, and the real-life magic behind the stories.

Whether you're a seasoned practitioner, a curious skeptic, or just love a good supernatural tale, this episode is packed with history, mystery, and a little bit of magic. Buckle up—this is a conversation you won’t want to miss!
