Ep. 69: The Salem Witch Trials

Happy October radicals! Time to get in the spooky spirit 🦇 and nothing says spooky like suppressing powerful women and blaming the supernatural.

On today's episode we dive deep into one of the most infamously wacky cases of the early American colonies: The Salem Witch Trials. First, I lay out what made Salem so brutal, how the Witch hunt began, the victims of the trials, and what went so horribly wrong in this small town. Of course we also discuss the impacts these trials had on independent women and healers and how we continue to see those similar 'witch hunts' play out today.
