History Rec! Senses and landscapes are one of my favorite research interests, and Iโ€™m thrilled that @double-a-larsen.bsky.social has written this fantastic article on vision (the sense!) and the witchesโ€™ sabbath for nemos, the blog portal on #sensoryhistory I co-edit. Highly recommended reading!
