Ep 222 The Male Witch 

Witchcraft in the late medieval and early modern European world was a highly gendered crime. The majority of victims were women but a significant percentage were men - and in some regions, men made up the majority of the accused. The male witch appeared wherever there were witchcraft accusations - he was known as a maleficius, a wicca, a sorcier, or hexenmeister … just don’t call him a warlock. (Host: Kristin Uscinski)
