Josh

I think she bewitched or cursed my child.

And yeah, people just took that as face value.

And before they knew it, they were being burned at the stake.

And in the case of the UK, they didn't burn witches at the stake.

they hung them instead.

And in addition to a very, very dark history, the cage also has a terrifying family haunting associated with it as well.

But Danny, have you ever

met or known anybody who's been a self-proclaimed witch before yeah i have i have how were they very kind yeah yeah they weren't devil worshiping psychopaths no i mean i guess she she she classified herself as a wiccan not a witch so okay i i wouldn't know if you would

same.

I've had nothing but very nice interactions with, uh, people that call themselves a witch.

There's a really cool, uh, kind of metaphysical witchy store down in Manitou Springs, uh, in Colorado.

And, uh, the woman that owns that is a witch and she's always been super, super friendly and really knowledgeable about all things, uh, whether it be, uh,

witchy things to the metaphysical to even some of the more taboo subjects, but I always find them super interesting and it's been sort of a goal of mine to get a really legitimate practicing witch here on the show who's got a lot of experience sort of in that realm to kind of educate me further.

So if anybody out there

is a practicing witch who has some very interesting stories to share.

Hit me up because I'd love to interview you and learn more about what it means to be a witch.

But back in the day, back in the 1500s, this was a totally different time period where there was zero understanding or desire to really understand what it meant to be a witch.

And it could have just been somebody who is like a holistic health practitioner.

who was creating tinctures and using herbs and other supplies to try to heal the sick.

And that in itself was considered demonic and resulted in their death a lot of the time.
