Today we're touching on Apotropaic marks in Britain, known as Witch marks these carved symbols and designs were believed to protect against both witchcraft and the witches who cast it. Witch marks can be found all around the world, but in this video, I'm just focussing on those in the British Isles.
Subtitles will be published when they have finished processing.
There are lots of documented locations for witch marks, you can find some here:
