In this Bonus Episode, Eleanor and Martin talk about the uncanny tradition of Witch Bottles.

Part of the new "Magic and Medicines" series, they discuss what witch bottles are, their range of uses, ingredients, and their strange connections to Renaissance-era Cardinal Bellarmine and the occultist Giordano Bruno, all before digging into well-recorded stories about their power - some from as late as the mid-20th century!
