Today’s episode is a re-release featuring the hosts of Unpacking the Eerie, Akshi and Shae Na. Our conversation focuses on witchhunts as a way of silencing and making people submissive. Including witchhunts in India, the impact of colonialism, the creation of Brujeria in Mexico due to the Spanish Inquisition (Mexican Inquisition), and colonial persecution of the Yuta in the Ryukyu Kingdom (now known as Okinawa).
