In this episode, we unravel the stories of Tituba, the enslaved woman whose coerced confession helped ignite the Salem Witch Trials, and Morgan le Fay, the legendary enchantress of Arthurian myth. Though separated by time and culture, both women have been shrouded in mystery, magic, and historical distortion.
Was Tituba truly a witch, or was she a scapegoat caught in a web of colonial fear and hysteria? Was Morgan le Fay a sinister sorceress, or was she a misunderstood figure whose power threatened the medieval patriarchy? We explore their origins, how their legacies were shaped by storytelling, and what their stories reveal about the way history remembers women who wield influence and mystique.
Join us as we uncover the truth, the myths, and the magic behind these two fascinating figures.
