Reginald Scot

You may have heard of the Salem Witch Trials but have you heard of the man who published tomes debunking witches, a full hundred years before Salem? Reginald Scot was an aristocrat in Elizabethan England who published academic style tomes pointing out all the flaws in medieval witchhunter logic. Today Morgan takes Norm into an interesting look of how a social belief in witchcraft can wreak havoc on people's inner and outer worlds. They also dive into Scot's own belief system and how he managed to escape his own persecution by a very convenient death. Houdini would have approved of Reg's take on things.
