The word witch gets used casually now—
as metaphor, insult, or shorthand for fear.
But words don’t lose their history just because time passes.
In this episode, we explore how witches were transformed into villains, how language reshaped practice into accusation, and how stories—especially fairy tales—helped replace people with caricatures.
This isn’t about belief.
It’s about how language shapes memory—and what gets lost when we stop questioning it.
