What is it really like to be a witch?  Our guest, Druid initiate Ellen Evert Hopman shares interviews with witches in New England from many different covens and magickal practice.  Some are descendents of the 40,000 - 50,000 men and women who were hunted and hanged as witches in this dark time in our history.  What was the real reason for these executions?  Was it religious persecution or something else? Tune in to hear about the forces in play that led to Tituba and Mary Bliss Parsons, the Witch of Northampton, being accused of witchcraft.  Hear about witches today from Massachusetts to Maine! Ellen Evert hopman is a founding member of the Order of the White Oak, an Archdruidess of the Tribe of the Oak and a member of the Grey Council of Mages and Sages.  She is the author of several books including Secret Medicines from your Garden.  Ellen lives in Massachusetts.
