Podcasts about witches

For our third Local Legends interview of Haunting Season 2025, Martin chats about spooky stuff with the author of Witchcraft: A History in 13 Trials, Dr Marion Gibson. Marion is currently Professor of Renaissance and Magical Literatures at the University of Exeter, and if you are unfamiliar with her work then she is the author of books including The Witches of St Osyth, Reading Witchcraft: Stories of Early English Witches, Witchcraft: The Basics, and Rediscovering Renaissance Witchcraft, and her work as a consultant for TV includes Sky History's The Witches of Essex with Dr Alice Roberts and Rylan Clark, Investigating Witch Hunts with Suranne Jones, and the BBC's Paranormal: Britain's Last Witch with Sian Eleri.To find out more about her work visit her website here.For now though, let's settle in for a good ol' chinwag about topics including the relationship between the witch and Halloween, ghostly familiar spirits, the tale of a naval commander who encountered The Devil, The Witches of Warboys, The Exeter Book, and a whole bunch more...Three Ravens is a Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on a historic county, exploring the heritage, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcastProud members of the Dark Cast Network.Visit our website Join our Patreon Social media channels and sponsors Hosted on Acast.

Ever caught yourself dimming your light, second-guessing your voice, or performing for approval - again? That's witch wound energy, and the moon holds your key to healing it.In this final episode of The Witch Wound Series, we explore how lunar rhythms offer you constant opportunities to check in with your feeling body, release what's keeping you small, and reclaim your power in real-time. If seasonal cycles are your big-picture healing work, the moon is your day-to-day shadow work practice - a monthly reset to reconnect with who you really are beneath all the "I must" and "I should" conditioning.You'll discover:How the 28-day lunar cycle mirrors seasonal energy on a more intimate, accessible scaleWhy the moon represents your inner world (I feel) while the sun represents your outer world (I am)Simple ways to use lunar rhythms for immediate shadow work and witch wound healingHow ancestral patterns keep us hiding our power - and why healing this benefits everyoneWhy working with the moon in community (not in secret) is essential for true belongingThis is your permission slip to stop performing, stop fitting in, and start belonging - unconditionally. Your magic was never meant to be hidden.Ready to heal the witch wound and reclaim your sacred space in this world?

I've been wanting to cover Witch Hunts for years! But I knew I didn't want to just tell another rendition of the Salem Witch Trials. I will get to Salem in Part 2 but I wanted to know where all of this stemmed from. When was the moment in time that "a witch" became associated with the Devil. In Part 1, I tell Russ about the men that created this hysteria, the way they used their faith to justify murder and how whole towns would come out and watch a woman burn as if it were a spectacle. Moral of this story ... witches aren't the scary ones, ordinary people are. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Note: The Season of the Witch replay episodes will only be available until Nov. 1st. Today on Day 4 of Season of the Witch, where we're talking about the separation between you and your magic - and spoiler alert: it's just a lack of presence.Remember that scene in Hook where Robin Williams finally sees the food during the food fight? That "there you are" moment when he remembers he's Peter Pan? That's what we're going for this week. You don't need to buy a bunch of stuff or get it perfectly right. Your magic is already here.Here's what we covered:We crossed four thresholds this week:Seeing (Monday) - witnessing where your energy leaksTrusting (Tuesday) - becoming your own true love's kissTiming (Wednesday) - finding your natural rhythmPresence (today) - discovering magic in your everyday lifeThrough today's visualization, you will explore your actual home - the kitchen counter that glows, the plant that sparkles, the throw blanket emanating warmth you never noticed before, the kitchen table that's magnetic with memory and love.Magic isn't something you do - it's your ability to create energy.Your practice today:Create a grimoire page for one household item (engage all five senses - even if you're not licking your kitchen table)Choose one simple daily practice: intentional morning coffee, grateful evening reflection, mindful walking, sacred cooking, or present moment breathingThe ancestors we connect with during this season of the witch? They got no special treatment for deprioritizing themselves. We're not about that. We're looking for the magic that's already here.You only need your own permission to create your magical practice.Join us Sunday for the final Group Liberation Ritual! We'll cross the threshold of belonging and remind ourselves we don't need to fit in to belong. You need to be registered for Season of the Witch to get the Zoom link delivered to your inbox.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Forget the movie stereotypes — witchcraft isn't about hexes, curses, or cauldrons bubbling in the dark. It's about energy, intention, and connection. In this illuminating episode of The Grave Talks, we sit down with Holly Faust and Jen Plastini to explore what it truly means to be a witch in the modern world. Rooted in ancient traditions yet evolving with the times, witchcraft today focuses on self-awareness, empowerment, and harmony with the natural world. Through the cycles of the moon, the grounding energy of the earth, and the strength of the human spirit, witches channel transformation, healing, and positive change. Join us as we demystify witchcraft, separate myth from reality, and discover how modern practitioners harness universal energy not to control the world — but to align with it.

The Death Witch, Loretta Ledesma, also known as Loo, is the founder of The Mile High Conjure Gala, a Santa Muerte Devotee, and a co-owner of The Cauldron Black. She has a deep relationship with the spirit world, ancestors, and is a lover of plants and a seeker of justice. She approaches the work from the Conjure tradition and has a close open relationship with the dead. Loretta walks her spiritual path comfortably with less freely talked about workings. She is also a maker of traditional oils, powders, waters, and other fine provisions.Loretta is a legacy student of Conjure Man Professor Charles Porterfield. She has learned from and sits at the table with some of the most sought-after teachers and elders in Conjure. Her goals in the work are community building and participation, and reclamation of the magic that runs through all our veins. On this episode, Loretta discusses her relationship to death, her approach to justice magic, and how she's thinking about Samhain during this transitional and historical time.Pam also talks about honoring her creative ancestors, and answers a listener question about cohabitating with a non-witch neatnik.

*Note: The Season of the Witch Replay episodes will only be available until Nov. 1st. Today on Day 3 of Season of the Witch, we're talking about rhythm - and how to find yours when life refuses to give you any.Here's the truth: we're all swimming upstream against our own energy. Doing things just to be busy. Doing things because we've always done them. Saying yes when our whole body screams no. And then wondering why we feel like square pegs in round holes all the time.Here's what we covered:We explored the lunar phases (that waxing/waning cycle) and the wheel of the year (those eight Sabbaths marking the seasons). Both follow the same pattern: growing energy → release moment → reflection energy → back to the beginning. New moon to full moon. Winter solstice to summer solstice.But here's the kicker: none of us can actually live fully aligned with these rhythms. You can't just hibernate from Samhain through Yule like nature intended. You've got graduations, weddings, holidays, 12-hour nursing shifts, kids' taekwondo, grandparents' appointments - life keeps happening regardless of what the moon or sun is doing.So what do we do?We create our own energetic rhythm wheel. Through the threshold of timing visualization, you explored:When you feel most energized (that "throw it at me, I'm good" energy)When you lose track of time because you're so engrossedWhen your energy naturally wants to plant seeds versus releaseWhen you're just done for the dayThen you mapped it on your own circle. To be a witch is to create energy, not respond to it.When you align with your natural rhythm instead of fighting it, you stop:Feeling like a failure for not keeping upShutting down your voice again and againDoing emotional labor for everyone else's scheduleLosing yourself in daily monotonyThis is how you reclaim your season. You become a season keeper for yourself.Your turn: Map your own energetic rhythm wheel. Notice where your energy naturally flows. See what your rhythm is actually creating for you right now.Join the conversation! Share your rhythm discoveries in our YouTube Community space and connect with fellow Enchanted Sisters navigating their own cycles.Want the full Season of the Witch experience?

Explore A past Life Regression with me! We'll explore a fascinating phenomenon that occasionally occurs during Past Life Regression sessions. Have you ever noticed that some clients describe their experiences in incredible detail, as if they're reliving the story in real time?It's not very common, but I've had a few clients who become storytellers of their own past lives. In these sessions, I do very little guiding because they naturally begin unveiling their experiences with vivid, flowing detail, almost as if they're reading the pages of a novel.Today's session is one of those rare and captivating experiences. This particular client had previously been on the podcast, and you can listen to her first Past Life Regression in Episode 9: The Shipwreck.

In 1487 a scandal prone Dominican inquisitor published one of the most notorious witch-hunting manuals in history. The Malleus Maleficarum, or Hammer of the Witches, argued that Europe was under siege by witches and that these witches were almost exclusively female. The book was one of the first widely available texts that presented witchcraft as a uniquely female evil. By the end of 1500's women had become the main victims of the most outrageous witch-hunts, accounting for 85% of all people who executed as witches. Should the Malleus Maleficarum be blamed for this? Tune-in and find out how alewives, hot demons, and a "witch bull" all play a role in the story.Join us in Greece in 2026!

Every small town has its legend — a stretch of road you only visit at night, a bridge you cross with your headlights off, a place where you dare something to happen. For the kids of Ringtown, Pennsylvania, that place was the Witch's Bridge — a narrow crossing surrounded by forest, where the air turns still and the creek below whispers like someone breathing. Locals said if you parked on the bridge, killed your engine, and listened, you'd hear the witch herself — or worse, find your car refusing to start again. One cold night in 2004, two teenage boys decided to test the myth — to show off for their dates. They turned off the car, sent the girls driving ahead, and waited in the dark. But when the girls returned, something was already waiting for them. A hollow human figure appeared in the headlights, motionless, before slapping the car twice — once on each side. The girls screamed and fled, leaving the boys stranded miles from home. When they finally reunited, both sides realized the same horrifying truth: Whatever was on that bridge wasn't human — but it knew exactly what they planned to do. #RealGhostStoriesOnline #TrueHaunting #WitchsBridge #RingtownPA #UrbanLegend #ParanormalStory #HauntedBridge #TeenageDare #GhostlyApparition #SupernaturalEncounter #PennsylvaniaHaunting Love real ghost stories?

In the dead of a Canadian winter, a teenage witch forgot one crucial rule: always cast a circle. For Abby, what began as simple witchcraft — sage, crystals, moon rituals — quickly turned into something far darker. One December night, her sealed bedroom filled with a swarm of black insects, buzzing under the ceiling light like a living curse. By morning, they were gone… every single one. From that night forward, Abby's world began to unravel. She felt drained, bruised, and watched. A black fog lingered just out of sight. Even her cousin — also a practitioner — saw the return of the same mysterious bugs during their rituals. Then came the night of the Supermoon, when Abby dreamed of a radiant goddess who told her the darkness was gone. But one of her moon water jars had turned the color of apple juice — and it pulsed with the same dreadful energy she'd felt during the haunting. Was it an elemental spirit turned vengeful, a demonic attachment, or a warning from the goddess herself? Whatever it was, Abby sealed that jar in wax and never opened it again. Some spells close with words. Others… must be contained. #RealGhostStoriesOnline #WitchcraftGoneWrong #TrueHaunting #DarkEnergy #MoonWater #BlackFog #ParanormalStory #RealWitchStory #SpiritAttachment #AthenaGoddess #OccultExperiences #Paranormal Love real ghost stories?

Welcome to a special Halloween edition of The Spiritual Sleepover, with our bestie Steffi Hill, aka Spirit Sis! We are diving into all things spooky — from ghost stories and witch trials to silly games and soulful reflections, as we discuss embracing cycles of death and rebirth, honoring our ancestors, and creating new rituals as the seasons shift. We explore the history and lingering wounds of the Salem Witch Trials, unpacking how fear, patriarchy, and property rights shaped both a "witch wound" and a "sisterhood wound" that still influence women today. Steffi brings her storytelling magic with a dramatic retelling of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and of course, what would a Spiritual Sleepover be without games?! Join us for some fun, spooky vibes, and some much-needed laughs as we dive into Halloween-themed games. Through laughter, insight, and a touch of silliness, this episode is a celebration of feminine power, seasonal magic, and healing for the collective.   Key Takeaways: How the Salem Witch Trials reveal deep ancestral wounds around feminine power, fear, and sisterhood that still shape society today How reclaiming the original meaning of “witch” — “one who chooses” — invites us to own our power, intuition, and role as co-creators of our reality Why this time of year is a sacred time to reflect on cycles of death and rebirth, connect with ancestors, and align with nature's rhythms Why supporting and uplifting one another — especially in the face of fear or oppression — is essential to transforming the “witch wound” into collective empowerment Silly and spooky games to bring some lighthearted joy to the season   Want to attend a Spiritual Sleepover LIVE?

*Note: The Season of the Witch Replay episodes will only be available until Nov. 1st.Today on Day 2 of Season of the Witch, we talked about the witch wound and becoming your own true love's kiss.Here's the thing about the witch wound: we're all perpetuating it without even realizing it. That energetic battle where women fight each other for scraps of worthiness? It's alive and well. We've got community members here from 28 to 82, all in different seasons of life, all dealing with the same impossible standards: look good, be good, act good, speak well, do all the things. And it's never enough.The witch wound shows up when you tell yourself:"Be quiet" (your voice doesn't matter)"I don't want to bother them" (your needs are inconvenient)"Just stay safe" (different is dangerous)"I have to earn my belonging" (you're only worthy if you prove it)The counter spell? You become your own true love's kiss.Through today's threshold of trusting visualization, you will step into a playground where you can safely explore your identity and ask: What do I know that I'm pretending not to know?Then we got creative with three embodiment options - art journaling, elemental grids, or tarot spreads - because your energy is the foundation of your witchery practice. No amount of crystals will help if you're still running on curse stories.New stories to practice: My voice matters. My needs are valid. My difference is my gift. I belong because I exist.Perfect timing with the new moon moving into Scorpio - that burning down and rising up energy.Join the conversation! Share which embodiment practice you chose in our YouTube Community space and connect with your fellow Enchanted Sisters.Want the full experience? Register for Season of the Witch to get all replays, your workbook, the potion quest, and the special meditation. Plus - our annual Enchanted Journey membership registration is open this week only. Tomorrow: finding your rhythm (because sometimes life just be lifein').

In the conclusion to The Salem Witch Trials, the boys return to 1692 Massachusetts—where paranoia had taken full control, and reason was long gone. With the accused piling up and the courts overwhelmed, this episode dives deep into the dark heart of Salem's hysteria: the confessions, the so-called “spectral evidence,” and the twisted power plays that turned neighbor against neighbor.This part explores how the trials escalated into chaos. Judges abandoned logic, ministers fanned the flames, and ordinary citizens became executioners. The hosts unravel the stories of key figures—like Judge Hathorne, whose arrogance condemned dozens; Reverend Samuel Parris, whose fiery sermons fueled the fear; and the young accusers, whose tales of invisible spirits sent innocent people to the gallows.But beyond the hysteria lies the bigger question: why did it happen? Was it truly about witchcraft—or something far more human? The boys dig into the underlying forces of greed, land disputes, and religious extremism that turned a small Puritan village into a nightmare. They also uncover the strange aftermath—how the colony later tried to erase its shame, how survivors lived with guilt, and how the witch trials became a lasting scar on American history.With eerie atmosphere and modern insight, The Boys take you through the final days of the Salem madness—when superstition ruled, justice failed, and the line between faith and fear disappeared entirely.Episode 127 exposes the horrifying end of one of the darkest chapters in early America… and reminds us how easily truth can burn when fear takes over.www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast

As the nights grow long and the sun begins its slow return, Yule arrives, a sacred turning point of warmth, rest, and renewal. In this episode we continue our Wheel of the Year series with a slightly chaotic dive into Yule, the winter solstice festival behind so many modern holiday traditions. We explore its roots as a fire festival, the story of the Oak and Holly Kings, and simple, low-effort ways to celebrate the season, from crafting a Yule log to adding intention to your gift wrapping. We also chat about blending Christmas, Hanukkah, and Yule traditions, embracing rest as resistance, and finding everyday magic in the stillness of winter.Whether you're witch-curious or walking the Wheel year after year, this episode will help you honor Yule with humor, heart, and a little sparkle of science-meets-spirit curiosity.Pre-order Molly's book Mundane Magic A Lazy Witch's Guide to Hacking Your Brain, Building a Daily Practice, and Getting Stuff DonePreorder Mundane Magic & Join the Virtual Book Tour⁠: Celebrate the release of Molly's new book with an exclusive online event on Feb 21, 12 PM EST.

For nearly 175 years — from 1563 until its repeal in 1736 — this act stood as part of Scotland's law. In that time, it is estimated that 3,000 to 5,000 people were accused of witchcraft. Of those, a staggering 84 percent were women. Torture, often in the form of sleep deprivation and relentless interrogation, was routine. Executions followed — frequently by strangulation or burning — and their bodies were often destroyed so they could not even be buried, denied the final dignity of rest.Our guests know this story better than anyone.Today, we're joined by Claire Mitchell KC — a distinguished Scottish lawyer, specialising in criminal defence, constitutional and human rights law. She is co-founder of the Witches of Scotland campaign, which seeks posthumous pardons, a memorial, and an official apology for those persecuted under the Witchcraft Act.Zoe Venditozzi is a writer, teacher, and co-campaigner. Born and raised in Fife, she brings storytelling, archival curiosity, and moral urgency to this mission. Her literary debut Anywhere's Better Than Here won the Guardian's Not the Booker popular prize; now with Claire she's co-author of How to Kill a Witch: A Guide for the Patriarchy.Their new book weaves together legal history, archival testimony, fictional vignettes, and sharp critique. It lifts the stories of those accused — women, and a few men — out of dusty court records and into the present. It asks: how did this system become possible, and how do we make amends?

Welcome to New England Legends From the Vault – FtV Episode 137 –  Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger search for the lost village of North Pepperell, Massachusetts. Once a bustling center of commerce back in the early 1800s, all that's left today are a few cellar holes and former foundations sinking into the woods. The reason the village disappeared is because of a witch's curse placed on the town after the locals drove out a peculiar old woman by branding her face.

Today on Day 1 of Season of the Witch, we broke out of that eight of swords cage and reclaimed our rhythm.This liminal space we're in right now - between summer and winter, between what was and what's coming - is the perfect time to finally see your energy. Not just feel the results of it everywhere in your life, but actually witness where it's going and where it's leaking away without your permission.We're talking about the sacral curse: that pattern where you downplay your desires, minimize your needs, and push aside what brings you pleasure because you want to be a "good person." And the good girl algorithm: automatically saying yes without checking in with your body first, tying your worth to how much you can do for others, and basically running on autopilot.Here's the truth the trees are teaching us right now: there are no bonus points for holding on to dead leaves. Your grandmother, your great-aunt, all the women who came before you? They didn't get extra life points for running themselves ragged. And neither will you.Through a guided visualization, you'll cross the threshold of seeing - discovering where your energy goes throughout your day, what happens when you say yes but mean no, and how your energy responds to disappointing someone. Then we get creative (because breaking the sacral curse requires creation, not just consumption) and make the first page of your Season of the Witch grimoire.You can reprogram your energetic algorithm at any point in time. This is where we start.Join the conversation! Head to our YouTube Community space to join in the conversation and connect with your fellow Enchanted Sisters.Want all the goods? Register for Season of the Witch to get pre-event extras, daily replays, your workbook, and the potion quest activity delivered straight to your inbox. Plus - our annual Enchanted Journey membership registration is open this week only with special savings and a free planner. See you on the other side of this threshold. Stay magic. ✨

Episode Summary: Welcome to the Advancing Women Podcast! In this Halloween-themed episode, we reclaim the witch archetype as a symbol of female power, independence, and solidarity. Building on last year's Season of the Witch, we explore how the witch reflects the experiences of ambitious women across history and today…from the backlash faced by independent women to the double standards confronting women leaders. Through media, history, and lived experience, we uncover how witches (and women!) have been feared, misunderstood, and sometimes punished for asserting autonomy. But there's a bright side: the witch is being reclaimed in fiction, in culture, and in women's networks, offering a model for persistence, solidarity, and strategic power. Join us as we dive into: The historical and modern symbolism of the witch How autonomy, economic independence, and ambition have provoked backlash across centuries The parallels between historical witch hunts and modern workplace double standards The power of covens—real and metaphorical—and what I call persisterhood Strategies for building networks of support, mentorship, and collective resilience This episode is a call to embrace your coven, celebrate your independence, and wear your power proudly. Because we are the persisterhood, and our solidarity, creativity, and courage are our most potent magic. “We are the granddaughters of the witches you weren't able to burn. Let's wear that badge proudly.” #covenofpersisterhood #seasonofthewitch #persisterhood #genderbias #leadershipbias #leadership #advancingwomenpodcast #genderequity Resources & References: Mona Chollet, In Defense of Witches Joan Williams, research on the tightrope bias and workplace double standards Media examples: Wicked, Practical Magic, Marvel's Agatha Harkness Historical context: Matilda Joslyn Gage on persecution of witches (Woman, Church and State, 1893) Connect & Engage: Subscribe, rate, and share the podcast!

The government has announced an independent inquiry into repeated failings in maternity services at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. Earlier this year, a BBC investigation revealed that the deaths of at least 56 babies and two mothers over the past five years at the Trust could perhaps have been avoided. BBC correspondent Divya Talwar joins Nuala McGovern, alongside Lauren Caulfield and Amarjit Kaur Matharoo, who both tragically lost their babies while receiving care at Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust. This month, the Ironman World Championships were held in Kona, Hawaii, where Britain's Kat Matthews won silver. The men's and women's championships, previously held simultaneously, were split into separate events in 2023. However, they are set to reunite next year. Questions have been raised about the impact this change may have on female competitors. To discuss the championships and celebrate Kat's achievement, Nuala is joined by Kat Matthews and Jordan Blanco, a contributor to Triathlete magazine who attended the event. A new report reveals that progress towards gender equity in the architecture profession still remains too slow. Inequalities remain deeply rooted — with pay disparities, toxic and exclusionary workplace cultures, and half of female respondents surveyed said they had been bullied, and a third had experienced sexual harassment at work. Nuala hears from Valerie Vaughan-Dick, Chief Executive of Royal Institute of British Architects, and Helen Lee who was the project architect on a social housing development in London for the elderly which has just won this year's Stirling Prize for Architecture. The Essex witch trials represent one of the darkest chapters in British history. A new Sky History series, Witches of Essex, revisits the real lives of women accused of witchcraft in the 16th and 17th centuries, drawing on newly examined court records and the latest historical research. Historian Dr Eleanor Janega joins Nuala to discuss.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Dianne McGregor

In this episode of Talking Tudors, Natalie Grueninger talks with Leigh Wakefield about the infamous Pendle Witch Trials of 1612 and their legacy. They explore the rival families at the centre of the accusations, the role of witness testimony—especially that of children—the trial records by Thomas Potts, and the later 1634 case that questioned earlier verdicts. The conversation also considers how sources were shaped by contemporary agendas, what the evidence can and cannot tell us, and why Pendle remains a powerful part of local heritage and modern interest in witchcraft history.
