The Witch – History, Fear, and Control
Sunday, 17 August, 2025
Mystic Mondays – Show NotesEpisode Title: The Witch – History, Fear, and ControlIn this episode of Mystic Mondays, we journey into the shadowed history of one of humanity’s most enduring archetypes: the Witch.From the ancient seeresses of Norse tradition to the midwives demonized in medieval Europe, the witch has been both healer and heretic, feared scapegoat and rebellious survivor. For centuries, her image has been used as a tool of control—to silence women, confiscate property, and channel society’s fears. Yet, despite attempts to burn, banish, and vilify her, the witch has endured.Join us as we explore the witch’s evolution:🌙 Ancient Roots: Healers, priestesses, and liminal guides in Mesopotamia, Greece, and Norse traditions.🔥 The Church’s Reframing: How the Malleus Maleficarum weaponized fear and fueled witch hunts.⚖️ Witch Hunts & Salem: Property, power, and social control hidden beneath hysteria.🎬 Hollywood’s Caricature: The rise of the green-skinned crone and the demonization of feminine power.✨ Reclaiming the Witch: How modern witches reclaim her as healer, rebel, and spiritual guide.We’ll also take pauses for reflection and end with a guided meditation at the crossroads, meeting the witch not as a monster—but as a mirror of our own survival and power.💫 If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review Mystic Mondays on your favorite podcast platform—it helps more seekers find the magic.🔮 Follow along for more mystic insights:Facebook and Instagram: @crystalcoven40391Tikrok: @thecrystalcovenPatreon: patreon.com/CrystalCovenMysticCottageWebsite: thecrystalcovem.com
