124. Witch Trials: Martha Carrier

  • Summary

  • On August 19th, 1692 Salem saw its third round of executions. Four men and one woman were hanged that day -- a group so sensational that Cotton Mather himself attended their last moments. He had to see the Queen of Hell for himself. Join Jeffrey and Sarah, your favorite Salem tour guides, as they talk about Martha Carrier, the first person to be accused from Andover, a town that saw more accusations than any other.

the k1nk discussion

hello- I wanted to suggest Peter Vronsky's Sons of Cain and the blog series "Sacred Kink Overachievers of Patrarchy" for a discussion of how the origins of BD/SM in medieval torture so heavily perpetrated on women by religious officials, and that historic epigenitic echo in the modern world. visiting salem this weekend! I'll be tour shopping 💯
