Why Are Women Witchy Again?

While we’re past the days of witch hunts and trials, some people think there’s something magical that still lingers in our blood - some would even call it “women’s intuition”. But why are we now seeing a resurgence of modern women engaging with the spiritual and supernatural world, and reclaiming the word ‘witch’? In this episode we take a look at the history of witches and paganism, and figure out why in modern times we’re seeing women turn to the ways of old - crystals, tarot, manifesting, astrology, even potion making, spell-casting and hexing.
