Between the 15th and 18th centuries, thousands of people—mostly women—were accused, tried, and executed for witchcraft in one of the darkest chapters of history. This podcast explores the fear, superstition, and religious fervor that fueled the witch trials of the early modern period, examining why they happened, who was accused, and how societies justified these brutal persecutions.
Across Europe and colonial America, witch hunts took on different forms, from the Salem Witch Trials in 1692 to the mass trials in Germany and Scotland. This podcast uncovers the social, political, and religious factors that led to the hysteria, explores notable cases, and discusses the gruesome methods of interrogation and execution used against the accused.
As the Enlightenment ushered in an era of scientific thinking and legal reforms, witch hunts eventually declined—but their legacy remains. What can we learn from this dark history? Join us as we unravel the truth behind witch trials, mass hysteria, and the dangers of fear-driven justice.
