Wicca: The Surprisingly Modern History of the Old Religion of Witchcraft, Magic, and Nature
In this spellbinding episode of The Strange History Podcast, host Amy uncovers the wild, weird, and surprisingly modern history of Wicca—a spiritual path often mistaken for ancient witchcraft but actually born in mid-20th century England. Discover the eccentric life of Gerald Gardner, the rituals and beliefs of modern witches, the sacred balance between the Horned God and Triple Goddess, and the powerful connection Wicca has with nature. We’ll explore the Eight Sabbats, full moon Esbats, magical tools, spellwork, and why Wiccans don’t believe in Satan—despite decades of controversy and misunderstanding. Packed with fascinating history, personal insight, and a dash of humor, this episode is perfect for the curious, the skeptical, and the magically inclined. Tune in, light a candle, and enter the circle.
