Episode 176 - THE WHITE WITCH OF EXETER

In this episode of the podcast, host Mark Norman takes an in-depth look at the White Witch of Exeter. Most times, when we speak of 'white witches' we are talking about a particular person, but in the case of the Devon city of Exeter, the White Witch was something a little different. Mark discusses the history of this character from the mid-nineteenth century onwards, and looks and some of their practices and cures. The content of this episode is drawn from the book DEVON'S FORGOTTEN WITCHES, 1860-1910 written by Tracey and Mark Norman and published by The History Press.
