À propos de cet audio
In 1612, twenty individuals found themselves accused of witchcraft in the rural region around Pendle Hill, Lancashire in northern England. Far from being a clear case of misogynistic persecution of women, the case saw both men and women confess to witchcraft and everyone accusing each other. With multiple factors at play, there are many things that fed into the events of 1612 and those prior, including witchcraft hysteria, recuscancy, a form of magical protection racket that saw some individuals profit off of their reputations and others fears. However, what is clear is that there was a knowledge of the occult in the region and that some definitively practised the arts.
Join Ansir & Sophia for a detailed look at the Pendle Witchtrials of 1612.
