“Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.”

Exodus 22:18 KJV

Thou Shalt Not Suffer: The Witch Trial Podcast is the show about how and why we hunt witches. Our show covers witch trials from ancient times to the present, around the globe. We talk about history, current events, and all aspects of witch trials. 

We feature historical facts and interviews with leading witch trial researchers and activists. Each episode includes an update on witch-hunts happening in the world right now. Our aim is to learn how to stop witch-hunting behavior.
