Myth 3: "Alcohol causes witch-hunting."

Many people believe if you stop the drinking, you stop the violence. But the facts tell a different story.

The woman is chosen first. She is called a witch by someone who already knows her — drunk or not. And where alcohol is banned, like in Bihar, women are still attacked.

We never blame other crimes on alcohol. So why this one?

Alcohol is not the reason. It is the excuse.

I'm joined this week for our first Witches episode in July by @aboutwitchhunts to talk about the Salem Witch Trials!

We'll be discussing the context of the trials, possible causes that don't involve mouldy bread, the aftermath of the trials for those accused, and the ongoing witch hunts that result in very real harm around the world.

Find the episode wherever you find Fabulous Folklore with Icy!

Before Salem, there was Connecticut. This week I talk with historian Josh Hutchinson about the Connecticut Witch Trials. There were 11 executions between 1647 and 1697. We discuss the beliefs that fueled the accusations, and the ongoing work to clear the accused names' through the Connecticut Witch Trial Exoneration Project.
