My special guest tonight is Ellen Evert Hopman, who reveals the origins and history of the New England witch hysteria, its continuing repercussions, and the multilayered practices of today’s modern witches. Her book is called The Real Witches of New England.

Reveals the origins and history of the New England witch hysteria, its continuing repercussions, and the multilayered practices of today’s modern witches

• Shares the stories of 13 accused witches from the New England colonies through interviews with their living descendants

• Explores the positive role witches played in rural communities until the dawn of the industrial age, despite ongoing persecution

• Includes in-depth interviews with 25 modern witchcraft practitioners, interwoven with practical information on the sacred calendar, herb lore, spells, and magical practices

New England has long been associated with witches. And while the Salem witch trials happened long ago, the prejudices and fears engendered by the witchcraft hysteria still live on in our culture. What forces were at work that brought the witch hysteria quickly from Europe to the new American colony, a place of religious freedom--and what caused these prejudices to linger centuries after the fact?
