In the modern world, witchcraft and witches are dismissed as fantasies, but in many cultures, magic is alive and its practitioners admired and feared. Join National Geographic on a quest to find the stories behind the myths and legends of witchcraft. Along the way, meet an anthropologist who became a believer in Mexico and a 'witch cleanser' in Zimbabwe. Includes a bonus program: Wicca.
