    <description>The documented history of witchcraft — trials, grimoires, cunning folk, and folk magic — told from the archives, by someone who still practices the craft. Real records, real people, real magic. From Pendle to Salem, we read the court transcripts against the grain and remember the accused as practitioners.</description>

        <![CDATA[**Witch Trials Modern Parallels**

Mist. Moorland. A wrong word that becomes a death sentence.

This episode lingers in the grey space between 1612 and now — where a peddler’s refusal and a girl’s curse still echo in modern courtrooms and comment sections. Alizon Device’s story is a slow burn from roadside encounter to hanging tree, with the Pendle hills as silent witness.

We sit with the weight of accusation, the trembling belief of the accused, and the cold machinery of fear that turns neighbors into enemies.

Press play. Step into the peat fog.]]>
