Historian Dr. Suzannah Lipscomb goes in search of the origins of the deadly craze of witch hunts and trials that infected the British Isles and Europe 400 years ago. In this first episode, she travels to Scotland and Denmark, and uncovers the story of how, by the end of 1590, Scotland was in the grip of its first ever mass witch trial. More than a hundred people were hunted down as witches in league with the Devil and many were burned at the stake.

Unfortunately that's the nature of men,torture and execution have been going on for thousands of years.The 'witches' were the healers and midwives but in medieval times(with the rise of male 'physicians')the maternal and infant deaths actually rose.More innocent people(men,women and children)were tortured and slaughtered in the border wars,the Spanish Inquisition and under the Nazi regime,and they weren't all Jews.And it's still happening!

400 years ago = 1622, the dawn of the Age of Absolutism. Calling that point in history "the middle ages" is the kind of blunder that only a non-historian would make. Experts call the 1590s the Early Modern when referring to cultural and societal phenomena in England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, and the British Isles generally.

400 years ago was well past the "'Middle Ages" - nearly at the end of the Renaissance. It seems to me that it isn't so much that they were "'obsessed" by witches as that modern minds are obsessed with talking about witchcraft. Actually in the grand scheme of things the movement against witchcraft was not as big as people assume. Also.... I don't know who wrote the above comment about the Catholic Church, but in England in the 1600s, there were nearly no Catholics - England had wiped them out and become Prtoestant under Elizabeth I. This was all about the Protestants, people. And in fact, much of the anti-witch craze began as being wrapped up in anti-Catholicism. When they spoke about "'heretics" they meant it in a very religious sense.

@enlightenedhummingbird4764 2 жыл бұрын

The majority of people burned as "witches" were women who were healers and midwives, and who had great knowledge of herbs and plant medicines. This knowledge needed to be wiped out, so the "modern medicine" system that we have today could be ushered in. At one point it was illegal, with death as punishment, for women to act as midwives or offer any type of herbal remedy. The knowledge is slowly coming back, but so much was lost that can never be returned to us.

In music, we call the period 400 years ago The Baroque- the era of Monteverdi, Purcell, Bach and Handel. Not even close to the Middle Ages- and well after the whole Renaissance (!). I’d say calling this the Middle Ages is out of bounds for a history documentary- different culture, different motivations, different values and aspirations. Would you mix up Mozart and The Beatles? Think how different these “worlds” were.

Thank you. I clicked on this video with no intention of watching it, but only to correct the title and peace out. The Medieval Church's official stance on witchcraft was that belief in its practice was a superstition. Yours is the top comment displayed, btw, thank goodness. The period could be classified as 'Early Modern' I suppose, but your label is more precise. If the producers made such a glaring error as this, I have little faith in the accuracy or veracity of the content.

@Grenadier311 2 жыл бұрын

Victorian historians maligned the "Middle Ages" so unfairly in order to elevate their epoch to the rightful successor to and natural evolution of Classical Antiquity, and 100 years later the trend and bias persists. I promise the reader that he or she would rather roll the dice to live in almost any station during the High Middle Ages (1100-1300) as opposed to the Iron Century (1550-1650) or even the early enlightenment (1700+) in many places. Edit: The "Renaissance" was pretty rough too. The aftershocks of the Black Death were felt for hundreds of years, people's faith in God was undermined and living standards for the vast majority weren't much of an improvement. More freedom for the once-serf maybe, here and there. Freedom to starve. The Medeival manoral system was a tightly-knit society which at least offered folk a sense of community - and people actually bathed regularly! - unlike this plague-ridden era where immersion in water was feared, wars were large and devastating and superstition was rife.

I went on a date with a boy one time, years ago, and it was like our 4th date, and we had hit it off very well! He was an amazing kisser! So, I thought I'd finally let him come home with me. What I didn't mention, as I didn't think it'd matter, is that my room looks like a Witch's lair! It sort of is. There's antlers, statues of various Pagan Deities, blended with statues of Saints, Christ, etc. Along with a lot of candles, antlers and animal skulls all about, and a lot o ornate boxes and such that have runes, sigils, and pentacles/pentagrams. I don't love pentacles/pentagrams as much as the Wiccans do! But they're used to symbolize Venus (Pentagrams) as well as order and protection (pentacles.). And I have a lot of other neat, Traditional Witch/Traditional Pagan objects and such. The boy stepped in my room, looked around, then crossed himself, and asked if I were some kind of Witch or something? I just giggled and told him that it depends on who you ask! I thought he was kidding! He was not! He called me The Devil's Whore! As if! Whores get paid! 😂 Then he made a hasty exit from my place! And that was that! I'd like to have at least heard why he was so freaked out? I mean, I'm a pretty nice guy! Im not flying around in my broom, goat or pitchfork, looking for babies to snatch and crops and fields to blight! It was his loss! And definitely one of the more interesting romance disasters that I've had! 😂

Are those just extremely vocal but few and the majority remains silent out of fear for being targeted next? Or maybe something entirely else, many possibilities come to mind but I wonder what the common trigger might be. Regarding your great great great great grandmother, that's really interesting how you seemingly found out by chance. Not far fetched to conclude that it was indeed one of your ancestors. Tbh from what I imagine about those who were burned at the stake the majority probably have been actually the more decent kind of people like those who stood against this senseless murder for example, so I'd bed she made a very positive impact in her life regardless, is there some info about your documentation you'd like to share?

Destroying the link between people and the wise healers in their communities has always been part of the long game for whoever is creating the systems on this planet. There was a lot of competetion between traditional healers, and graduates of the new "licensing" schools (which only allowed men, btw.) The healers I'm speaking of were true wise men and women, not witch doctors who preyed on peoples fear and ignorance. These true wise healers, with thousands of years of collective knowledge, were a thorn in the side of the elite who were in the process of setting up the systems that are in place today. But, especially in rural areas, people still went to their village healer for herbs, and knowledge on how to keep the body healthy. These healers became a problem, especially after folk had gone to licensed docs, only to be poisoned or disfigured by THEIR version of "healing." People who had tried, and been harmed by, the "new" medicine, went back to the wise men & women in their local community. Any and all competion that exists for whoever is running this sh@*hole planet, must be eradicated. And they conveniently use religion and race, to create hatred and division, to make US kill each other. Fun times on this planet, eh?

Sensationalised tripe for a start Seeton has a very Anglicised accent for being a Scot (or an extremely soft Scottish accent) and Dr. Suzannah Lipscomb has made her own opiniated mind up (unrequited sex etc. ) as to the reason for the event as opposed to maybe thinking and exploring from a 16th century mindset. I expected something more objective and less opinionated but instead was presented with a documentary that is like tabloid news nothing but filler made up of poor acting & overdramatic music. Watching this rubbish is like eating a donut that has been filled with pus nstead of custard.

@@greenshp The masonic merchant lodges wanted to get rid of economic concurrents and uncomfortable persons in society. And often get their land and property and ownings and money and so on. Sad - but true. Also see the anthropologist David Graeber about it. These lodges also infiltrated the church and the vaticanic banking system in der Renaissance and corrupted it. As today. The ideological Liberalismus and Neoliberalismus of Globalism is criminal and corrupt and social darwinist predator capitalism and usury and destructice free trade capitalism - and a destructice ideology as Ayn Rands "Objectivism".

Yes, but no worse than what's on TV and in movies. What's pathetic, is that these were not witches at all. We should be horrified at Christian behavior and ignorance. We should never allow the accusation angrily used ever again about anyone. We see the victims of the Holocaust. These recreations are just as valid. Lest we forget.
