  • Irish Witch Trials
    Nov 3 2024

    Despite being a Catholic country during the Witch Trials of the 14th - 17th century, Ireland did not fall victim to the same Witch Hunt hysteria as the rest of Europe. In this video, I explore why that was.


    Correction:

    - I mention in the video that Christianity in Europe did not incorporate pagan beliefs and practices which is untrue. However, Ireland continued with this trend of incorporating paganism into its version of Christianity for far longer than the rest of Europe as our form of Christianity initially developed outside of the control of the Roman Church.
