season 1, episode 13 - #SnortAndCackleBookClub book review - "witchcraft in early modern poland 1500-1800" by wanda wyporska

season 1 of snort & cackle is coming to an end, which means it's time for the #snortandcacklebookclub book review! today ash is going over "witchcraft in early modern poland 1500-1800" by wanda wyporska. they'll be taking a deep dive into this very academic look at polish witchcraft history and place it within some context of pre-christian practices within the region. if your hot take of early modern european witchcraft trials is that they were usually highly gendered and influenced by class, economic downturn, conflict, and environmental catastrophe, you're not wrong. but what (if anything) else is under the surface?
