Episode 4: Under the Weight of Words and Chains

In this episode, host Breena Kerr dives into some of the more lurid aspects of the witch hunts and attempts to separate what can so often be blended in pseudo-historical retellings and ghost stories: the horror of what witch hunters did on one side and the fearsome lore built up around witches on the other.  She interviews writer and witch-hunt artifact collector Leonard Lowe. And, she explains the origins of one of Europe's most famous and influential witch-hunting manuals, the "Malleus Maleficarum," also known as "The Hammer of Witches." Released at the dawn of book printing, the Malleus became a best-seller of its time, surpassed only by the Bible. Despite being printed more than 200 years before Lilias Adie was persecuted, the misogyny and fear-mongering in its pages cast a long shadow, one that potentially even reached Adie and generations beyond.

Episode 1: The Only Witch in Scotland With a Grave

A group in Scotland discovers the unusual story of an 18th-century accused Scottish witch, named Lilias Adie. The group vows to clear Adie's name and find her remains. After being buried, her bones were taken by grave robbers, then passed between some of Scotland's most famous institutions, and then lost. American journalist and storyteller (and  Scottish descendant) Breena Kerr reads an article about Adie and decides to investigate the story of her life and death and the fate of her missing skull. She has personal reasons, like her own kinship with the word "witch." And she has a desire to tell the story of the European witch hunts — events that are often spoken of and rarely understood — so justice can, in some way, be done.
