    We’re on to the 2nd episode of Season 1 of Charmed with, “I’ve Got You Under My Skin.” Still establishing the world, we felt it important to follow chronologically for a bit for now. In this episode, we explore religion - with some exploration of our resident Catholic’s opinions peppered in, the Salem Witch Trials, mal de ojo (evil eye), the Hand of Fatima, and so much more! TRIGGER WARNING: At around 0:21:36-0:21:59, sexual assault is briefly mentioned as a motivator during the historical witch trials. Note1: Opinions and commentary on organized religions will be shared by hosts and are based on personal experiences, perceptions, and the research presented by others. Despite this, the hosts would like to clarify that they respect the right for individuals to choose and practice their chosen faiths or religions without discrimination or persecution. Note2: Anatomy shows that both men and women have "Adam's apples", though it is more prominent in those assigned male at birth.... Still found the meme funny, though :).
