Anthropologist and Archeologist Scott Ferrara introduces stories and folklore of witchcraft accusations that impacted diverse peoples in the colony of New York in the 17th century. We get to dig into some individual histories and discuss details about early accused witches who faced their community outsiders. We connect the dark past of witch hunts to today’s witchcraft fear with a discussion answering our advocacy questions: Why do we witch hunt? How do we witch hunt? How do we stop hunting witches?  Links Accused of Witchcraft in New York by Scott Ferrara Advocacy for Alleged Witches Write a Connecticut Legislator  Support Us! Sign up as a Super Listener!
