Ep 32: Researching & Evaluating Witchcraft
03/16/22 • 96 min
We can't believe it's taken 32 episodes for librarian witches to talk about researching witchcraft! Better late than never I guess.
This episode is more of a discussion format. We talk about different kinds of resources, how to critically think and evaluate what you're reading. Are resources good or bad? How do we know?
