They called them witches—but once, they were simply women: midwives, healers, guardians of birth. In this episode of The Forgotten Familiar, we step into medieval Europe’s hidden world of wise women who knew the body’s secrets—and discover how the Church and the state turned their sacred knowledge into heresy, burning them alive to break the power of the womb.
🌿 Unearth the story of the midwives’ quiet rebellion—and their return in today’s homebirths, doulas, and herbalists.
