Description: In our very first episode Thandi, Lisa, and Christina are going back in time.  They will take you through why the stereotypical depiction of witches (pointy hat, broom, black cat) is absolutely NOT based on Medieval (5th - 15th century) Alewives, despite what the History Channel says. Helpful links: Christina's references: Blog post on the topic: https://braciatrix.com/2017/10/27/nope-medieval-alewives-arent-the-archetype-for-the-modern-pop-culture-witch/Elynour Rummyng: https://braciatrix.com/2017/06/14/hen-droppings-and-rosary-beads-the-tunning-of-elynour-rummyng/Read more about women and pet ownership in Medieval times at Walker-Meikle, Medieval Pets, p.13Related articles from Lisa: Ring around the Rosie: https://blogs.loc.g...
