In this episode, join us as we go deep into the woods to explore Robert Eggers' The Witch (2015). This New England folktale took witches, Satanists and horror fans by storm, and for good reason. It’s rich story-telling, authenticity, portrayals of historical witchcraft, Puritanical idolatry and strong feminist undertones, made this one of our favorite horror movies. We will discuss the themes of Black Phillip as the symbol of Satan, Satanic Witchcraft and its Empowering force, womanhood, motherhood, even Anti-motherhood. The Witch - our Sinister Rebel - is one of the oldest fighters against paternal domination with an important relationship to Satan. She will Reign & Hex the Patriarchy!
