About this episode
The episode explores the distinctions between folk magic, witchcraft, and granny magic, discussing their historical practices and implications.
So, if your granny casts a love spell on your neighbor's donkey, is that folk magic, or witchcraft? Or granny magic? Tonight, your bewitching host will help you sift through all of the hair and fingernail clippings to find out. Magic, for the sake of good, and for the sake of... not-so-good, has been practiced by witches and common folk alike for several thousand years. Sometimes, all you need to know is... which kind of practitioner you are. Join us to figure it all out! Special Thanks to Sounds Like an Earful Music Supply for the amazing music AND sound design.
