Product description
Nothing brings people together like a common enemy—and in 16th-century Scotland, witches were the greatest enemy of all.
In How to Kill a Witch, authors Zoe Venditozzi and Claire Mitchell, hosts of the acclaimed Witches of Scotland podcast, uncover the chilling origins of witch hunts and the patriarchal systems that fueled them.
Scotland, 1563: crops failed, people starved, and fear ruled. When the Witchcraft Act made violence against women a legal tool of control, thousands were accused and executed. What began as superstition became a weaponized system of power.
Blending historical documents, trial records, and firsthand accounts, How to Kill a Witch reveals how misogyny, bureaucracy, and religious fervor combined to persecute women—and how those same forces echo in today’s struggles for justice and equality.
This hardcover edition presents a darkly humorous, deeply researched, and powerful account that urges readers to remember the past—and recognize its modern parallels.

For centuries, women who dared to speak, think, or lead were accused, shamed, and executed. Their voices were erased, their lives rewritten, their power criminalized. How to K*ll a Witch exposes the chilling mechanics of these historic witch hunts—and shows how the same tactics of fear and control persist today. This isn’t folklore. It’s history. And history is your weapon. #witchtrials #witchcraft #witch #witchesoftiktok #witchy

If witch-hunting was a paid job, was it really hysteria—or just business? Because hysteria doesn’t come with invoices, promotions, or repeat contracts. Witchfinders were compensated. Judges were rewarded. Authorities advanced their careers by accusing women who were poor, outspoken, elderly, unmarried, or simply inconvenient. This wasn’t chaos spiraling out of control—it was a system that worked exactly as intended. Fear became currency. Accusation became labor. And the bodies of women became proof of a job well done. When violence is profitable, belief is optional. #witchtrials #witchcraft #witch #witchesoftiktok #witchy

Difficult. Unhinged. Dramatic. Dangerous. It’s the quiet consensus that forms when a woman refuses to be agreeable, compliant, or small. Today, women aren’t accused of sorcery; they’re accused of being a problem. The language has softened, but the purpose hasn’t changed: isolate her, discredit her, make her silence seem reasonable. History shows us that when society can’t control women’s behavior, it attacks their credibility. The witch was never the threat. The woman was. #witchtrials #witchcraft #witch #witchesoftiktok #witchy
