Summary

This week Kit and Rory investigate the huge and hidden world of online witches selling spells on platforms such as Etsy, Craigslist, and eBay. We discover why the law has been trying to ban them, whether the spells really work, and some huge high profile cases! Not only that we answer the question - why DID baby witches hex the moon in 2020?
