Episode Thirty-Three: African Azande Witchcraft - Donegal Catch

PLEASE LIKE/RATE/SUBSCRIBE or your chicken will betray you.

Niamh is in continental Africa this week with a very broad overview of post-colonial witchcraft and how it has endured to the present day. Please adhere to content warnings and take care of yourself! We finish off with a case study of Azande witchcraft :)

Intro clip from "Witchcraft Among the Azande" by John Ryle from the Disappearing Worlds documentary series, originally broadcast 1981. Fair use, we own nothing.
