本期节目深入探讨了历史上对女巫的迫害,指出其并非单纯的迷信现象,而是与社会控制、宗教冲突、性别歧视等复杂因素交织在一起的。节目从希腊神话中Circe的形象开始,追溯了人们对女巫的刻板印象的演变,以及这种刻板印象如何被利用来迫害女性。节目重点分析了《女巫之槌》一书对巫术审判的影响,以及该书中荒谬的识别女巫的方法,例如称重法、祈祷法、寻找胎记等。节目还详细描述了在西班牙Zugarramurdi发生的规模空前的巫术审判,以及苏格兰国王詹姆斯六世如何利用对女巫的恐惧来巩固自己的统治地位。节目指出,在这些巫术审判中,许多女性因为莫须有的罪名而遭受酷刑和处决,她们被指控与魔鬼发生性关系、参与邪恶仪式、杀害儿童等。节目最后总结道,女巫猎杀本质上是对女性的迫害,我们应该从历史中吸取教训,避免类似事件再次发生。 节目还讲述了玛格丽特·阿特金的故事,她谎称自己能够识别女巫,导致了更多无辜女性的迫害。最终,她的谎言被揭穿,她也受到了应有的惩罚。节目强调,对女巫的指控往往缺乏证据,酷刑和公众处决是常见的做法。节目还提到了Zugarramurdi镇如今设立博物馆纪念巫术审判的受害者,以及该镇每年举办的“女巫节”活动,以此来反思历史,避免类似事件再次发生。节目最后呼吁人们要警惕对女性的偏见和迫害,以及对虚假信息的传播。

Welcome to the Dark History podcast. It’s spooky season babbyyy. Ghosts, goblins, ghouls, and witches. Oooo witches. It’s hard to have a spooky season without witches. But many people hundreds of years ago tried real hard to get rid of all the witches. In today’s episode we’re going to talk about Witch Hunts, but not the ones in Salem. The Witch Hunts we are talking about make those ones look like childsplay. We’re going back to the original hunts that spread across the world.
