Summary:
This program journeys into the mists of time to explore the changing face of witchcraft through the ages. From the village wise woman, with her charms, amulets and wards, to the modern resurgence of witchcraft, art, period commentary and revealing interviews help tell the incredible story. Historians recall how the witch hunts of the Inquisition and Colonial America may have been motivated by misogyny more than anything else, and an interview with a high priestess of a modern-day wiccan church shows how witchcraft has adapted to the present.
