About the Film: THE LAST WITCH is a documentary following efforts to exonerate Elizabeth Johnson Jr., the last person convicted of witchcraft during the 1692 Salem Witch Trials. As a schoolteacher, her students, and a state senator work to clear Elizabeth’s name, what begins as a unique school project quickly becomes an emotional journey into historical wounds left unattended—and the contemporary implications of those wounds. ​ THE LAST WITCH shows how a schoolteacher, her students, and their allies not only set Elizabeth’s wrongful conviction right, but that by making amends with the past, they provide all of us with inspiration to create a better future. THE LAST WITCH spotlights the impact one person can have to change history. The film draws attention to our own responsibility to advocate for justice, and the importance of civic education in protecting democracy. Bio: Annika Hylmö, Ph.D. is an award-winning filmmaker and documentarian whose films have screened at CameraImage, Tribeca Film Festival, as well as smaller specialty festivals.

Welcome to Calling the Quarters! and this is Season 3, Episode 8. Today, we're diving into the fascinating world of myth and folklore as our host, Dean Jones, sits down with Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon from the Three Ravens Podcast! Launched in 2023, the Three Ravens Podcast has carved out a niche for itself by exploring the history, folklore, and traditions of a different historic county each week. We’re talking about everything from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters and half-forgotten, bloody legends. But the best part? Martin and Eleanor take turns to tell a brand-new version of an ancient story from that county, then break down what the tale means and the hidden truths it reveals about our past. And speaking of tales, their new book, Three Ravens: Tales, has just been released by The History Press! It collects 39 original tellings—one for each of England's historic counties—making it perfect for bedtimes, cozy reading, or even telling to the fairies at the bottom of your garden!

Bio: Jennifer Ball "Based on the Wirral, England (UK), Jennifer is currently completing the final year of her PhD at Bangor University, Wales (UK), researching into the LGBTQ+ community within Paganism. More specifically, she is looking into the affects of heteronormative and cisnormative themes that can be prevalent across many different Pagan denominations. A research project that has also featured within the Wild Hunt community notes. Jennifer began her studies on Paganism after writing her undergraduate dissertation on the changes of witch iconography in recent histories. As this discussion bled into the reclamation of the term “witch” within the Wiccan, Witchcraft and Goddess communities, this ignited a passion within her to continue to research Paganism both academically and personally. She later completed a Research Masters (MRes) that she broke down into three interesting topics. These discussions were entitled: “Commodified Witchcraft: The influence of the 1990s “media witch craze” on Wicca as a religion today.”, “The revival of nature-based religions: An investigation into the ancient roots of contemporary Druidry.”, and ““Paganism is fast-developing as the new religion of the twenty-first century”: An investigation into the rapid growth of Paganism in contemporary western society.” She has spoken publicly on these various topics, most notably for the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic (Boscastle, England, UK) at their equinox colloquium in 2019, and most recently in Universität Luzerne Switzerland at their Structuring Diversity, Structuring Religion conference in 2023."
