CONTENT WARNING: Violence against female-identifying people and impoverished people and graphic depictions of abortion.Only now can we see what the witch trials were really about—an attempt to keep women and the poor in their place. What lessons do modern mystics need these 400 years later?“The pen of history has always been held by men,” says best-selling author Stacey Halls on this episode of Millennial Mystics.In the past, literature and history books made it easy for us to glorify witch trials as something merely spooky, if not warranted. But The Familiars did just the opposite. It humanized the players of the story in a way that captured the tragedy, fear, and panic that seized England and continental Europe in the 17th Century.Stacey shares with us her insight to the sociopolitical machinations that fueled the Pendle Witch Trials in Lancashire, England, which many see as the catalyst to decades of femicide and social cleansing.Join us as we take a new look at witch trials from the feminist lens they deserve.Show Notes:- Opening reading from The Familiars by Stacey Halls- Stacey’s website, Twitter, and IG (FOLLOW HER.
