Mother Shipton

This week, we’re diving into the wildly weird life of Mother Shipton—the 16th-century English prophetess who allegedly predicted plagues, wars, royal drama, and possibly modern technology centuries before it existed. Was she a genuine psychic born during a thunderstorm in a cave, a misunderstood local healer, or the victim of history’s most successful supernatural PR campaign?
We unravel the legends surrounding her mysterious birth, her terrifying appearance, her supposed connection to the Devil, and the prophecies that made her one of England’s most famous witches. Plus, we investigate which predictions were actually hers—and which were added long after her death by men who apparently decided a medieval woman’s story needed more razzle-dazzle.
Grab your cider and join us for witches, caves, petrifying wells, suspiciously accurate prophecies, and enough historical nonsense to make Nostradamus nervous. Was Mother Shipton the real deal, or was everyone simply committed to the bit?
