Your child falls ill. Your cow stops giving milk. You suspect a witch. Who do you call?
Across early modern Europe, cunning folk claimed to heal the sick, identify witches, recover stolen property and even send curses back to whoever cast them.
Fresh from publishing her new book Witchland - Jon and Robin Briggs are joined by historian and author Professor Marion Gibson to explore the extraordinary world of supernatural problem-solving, from witch bottles and healing charms to magical side-hustles, dubious doctors and the surprisingly dangerous business of being good at magic.
Because the difference between being the village healer and the village witch was sometimes simply a question of whether the cure worked or not.
