Description

This episode looks at what we think of witches and witchcraft and how historically these concepts have been used for political and social repression. But there's also another definition of "witch." I'm joined by cultural anthropologist Ashley Scrivner as we talk about cultural practices and forms of knowledge that challenge Western thinking.
