Join Dr. Fi as she uncovers one of Britain’s darkest and most tragic chapters — the witch trials.

From the infamous Pendle Witch Trials to Scotland’s North Berwick hunts and the final executions in Devon, we explore the fears, superstitions, and social dynamics that fueled these events.

Discover the “evidence” used to condemn accused witches, the brutal methods employed to extract confessions, and how these trials faded with the rise of the Enlightenment. We also examine how the legacy of witch hunts continues to influence modern spirituality and cultural perceptions of witchcraft today.

A respectful and illuminating journey into the shadows of British history.
