We step into the shadowy corridors of 17th-century Paris to uncover the life and legacy of Catherine Monvoisin—better known as La Voisin. Fortune-teller, midwife, poisoner, and alleged sorceress, La Voisin rose from modest beginnings to become a central figure in the notorious Affair of the Poisons—a scandal that shook the court of King Louis XIV to its core. We explore her double life: by day, a respected healer and diviner; by night, a dealer in black masses, love potions, and fatal poisons. How did she build such a powerful underground network? What drew noblewomen and royals to her services? And what ultimately led to her fiery downfall? Join us as we unravel the dark mystique of one of history's most infamous femmes fatales—and examine the fear, desperation, and superstition that fueled her rise and fall.

Said to be undetectable, tasteless, and odorless, this lethal concoction was reportedly created by Giulia Tofana and distributed to women desperate to escape abusive marriages in a time when divorce was not an option. We explore the woman behind the formula, the whispered network of apothecaries and midwives that helped it spread, and the cultural and social conditions that turned poison into power. Was Giulia Tofana a cold-blooded murderer or a misunderstood feminist icon? And how did Aqua Tofana go from secret weapon to legend?
