History's Most Popular Curses... and Protections Against Them

Dive into a lively and engaging Zoom lecture on the five most popular curses in history, with a lecturer who is grounded in folk magic knowledge, and who has lots of practice doing and advising on practical magic in the present day. Rebecca Beattie takes us down the centuries to introduce: the Evil Eye, the Curse for Barrenness, love curses, and yes.... impotence curses. She looks in depth, too at the countermagic – the protections against – these dreaded and dastardly doings! It's an illustrated lecture with Q&A after, and we would love you to join us.
