Witch Stereotypes and Demdike of Pendle - Ep.3

Season of the Witch

Take a knee deep dive into the cesspit of witchy stereotypes and misconceptions with me - Rowan - in our third episode of Season of the Witch, with Rowan Oaken. In this episode, we will be thumbing through the history pages as we explore our very first Witch of the Week, Elizabeth Demdike of Pendle, to find out exactly how badly someone like myself can butcher a Lancashire accent in my retelling of her story. Come investigate the etymology of the word witch with me, as we use that to guide us through the many misconceptions and problematic stereotypes of witches and pagans. Ever wanted to know where the pointed hat came from? Yeah you do! Broomsticks? I have that covered, all in this weeks episode of Season of the Witch, with Rowan Oaken. Stick around at the end of the episode to join in with this week's bonus content - a sunflower seed spell for S.A.D witches. ** So, grab your tea and let’s read the leaves to filth.
