This is episode 3 of Sorcery and Superstition. In this episode I narrate the short story "The Pruning Shears" by Bethany Osborn. This is a slight departure from fantasy to fiction but it is an interesting tale nonetheless. There is no interview with this episode as the author declined since we had done another just two weeks previously.
