Witches: Trials, Traditions, and the Truth Behind the Broomstick

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

In 1692, twenty people were executed for a crime that doesn't exist.

Or does it?

From the Salem witch trials to modern Wicca, from medieval inquisitors to the cunning folk of rural England — the history of witchcraft is stranger, darker, and more fascinating than any spell. This isn't a story about superstition. It's a story about power: who holds it, who threatens it, and what happens when communities decide someone has to pay.


WITCHES: Trials, Traditions, and the Truth Behind the Broomstick covers:


• Before the Broomstick: Ancient Roots of Witchcraft

• Healers, Midwives, and the Wise Women They Feared

• The Burning Times: Trials, Torture, and the Witch Craze

• The Witch-Hunters: Profiles in Persecution

• Salem: An American Tragedy

• The Global Crisis: Witchcraft Accusations Today

• From Satan's Handmaidens to Salem's Daughters: How the Witch Transformed

• The Witch Is Not Dead: Witchcraft in the 21st Century


The real history of witchcraft isn't a footnote. It's a four-thousand-year argument about fear, difference, and who gets to decide what's dangerous.
