A scientific discovery of witches in fiction—Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Sleeping Beauty, Wicked, and so many more!

Kelly Florence and Meg Hafdahl, authors of The Science of Women in Horror and cohosts of the Horror Rewind podcast called "the best horror film podcast out there" by Film Daddy, present a guide to the history of witchcraft through the stories and characters we all know and love. Reveal the spellbinding science behind the legends and lore surrounding fiction's most iconic witches, answering such questions as:

● What is the science behind divination and spellcraft?

● When did witchcraft begin to show up in literature and media?

● Has science made it possible to uncover the truth behind the powers of necromancy and employing familiars?

● How has witchcraft been thought of throughout the world?

Through interviews, film and literary analysis, and bone-chilling discoveries, join Kelly and Meg as they learn about the complicated and rich science of witchcraft throughout the centuries and discover why now is the season of the witch!
