À propos de cet audio

Enter the shadowy realms of myth, history, and folklore in Bewitching Britain: The Hidden Witches of England. This spellbinding exploration takes listeners on an unprecedented journey into the dark corners of British history, illuminating the tales of those who have been vilified, persecuted, and misunderstood due to accusations of witchcraft.

From the windswept moors of Pendle to the quaint corners of Leicestershire, this sweeping compendium uncovers the chilling tales of witches that have been woven into the tapestry of England's past. As you explore each chapter, you will encounter infamous witch trials, legendary witch hunters, cunning folk, royal intrigues, and modern witch covens, giving you an expansive understanding of witchcraft's complex role in English history.

Unearth the mysteries of Pendle's Twelve, meet Alice Nutter—the woman who defied social conventions, delve into the peculiar case of Jane Wenham, and walk through the final days of the Bideford witches. Alongside these haunting tales, you will find engrossing narratives of influential figures such as Elizabeth Southerns, the matriarch of the Demdike clan, and the fearsome witchfinder, Matthew Hopkins.

Explore the hysteria that surrounded the Berwick witches, marvel at the prophecies of Mother Shipton, and recount the fateful tale of Agnes Waterhouse. Follow the witch trials that consumed the town of St Osyth, witness the dramatized saga of Elizabeth Sawyer, and study the chilling case of the Witches of Warboys.

Gain insights into the folk magic practices of cunning folk and pellers, learn about the royal perspective on witchcraft through King James I's Daemonologie, and unveil witchcraft in the royal court through the scandalous case of Eleanor Cobham. Discover the tragic story of the Witches of Belvoir, relive the tale of Margaret Jourdemayne, and scrutinize the eerie Mompesson haunting.

Finally, step into the modern era with an examination of the Burley Coven, practitioners of modern-day witchcraft in the New Forest.

Bewitching Britain: The Hidden Witches of England is not just an exploration of witchcraft; it's a fascinating historical chronicle that uncovers the fear, suspicion, and persecution that shrouded England for centuries.

This is a must-listen for anyone interested in British history, witchcraft, folklore, and the supernatural. Be ready to journey through the mists of time into an England where witchcraft was both a feared crime and a misunderstood practice. Brace yourself, the broomstick ride begins now.
