Y’all think it’s coming around soon? Or maybe did they touch on it in an early episode and I don’t know it?
They’ve been sent back in time and placed in Salem. Can they survive without being hung?
40 year old virgins mad that some sexy ass Hermione type bitches doing spells in the woods won’t give them some magic poompoom
And their dusty ass wives hating on some girls cuz their musty ass husbands won’t give them attention
Whole lotta envy and not a lotta vibing #sadge
Hi! So I’ve been reading “Hour of the Witch”, which I’ve read seems to be set in the times of the trials. I really liked reading it, and hoped for more recommendations!
My wife is not a huge reader but does occasionally get sucked in to anything related to the witch trials. Non-fiction please. Hoping to find something for her Christmas gift.
329 years ago yesterday, my 8th great grandfather Samuel Wardwell was hanged after being convicted of witchcraft. Samuel was born May 16, 1643 to Thomas Wardwell and Elizabeth Woodruff, in Boston Massachusetts. Samuel married Sarah Hooper, they had 6 children. Sarah had previously been married to Adam Hawkes, whom she had a daughter with, Sarah, who was also convicted but never trialed for witchcraft. William Baker Jr, 14 years old, accused Samuel, his wife Sarah and their 19 year old daughter Mercy Wardwell of witchcraft. Samuel was hanged September 22, 1692. Sarah and Mercy both survived and died at later dates.
Is it true that during the Salem witch trials, the "afflicted girls" would get people hanged, and then their parents would buy up (or be awarded) the land?
I'm looking for an interesting book from a reputable scholar/publisher that's ideally under 300 pages. Thank you!
I know some people really don't like the "I come back stronger than a 90's trend" line - I totally get the dislike, on the surface it seems to take you out of the song to modern day when the song feels quite other-worldly and witchy.
Which brings me onto the witch trials that were in fact a trend in the 1690s with most notably the Salem witch trials from 1692-1693.
Taylor has already sung about burning witches in I Did Something Bad and Mad Woman and I feel like the 90s trend line is a continuation of that. She's saying that there has been a continual trend throughout history to tear down powerful, independent women, but she's stronger than that trend. If Reputation and Lover didn't already do it for her, Folklore 100% reinstated her top spot in the music industry. In the music video for Willow I love that she smiles as she sings the 90s trend line because it's her victory to overcome this exhausting charade.
I think it's actually pretty relatable to look at moments in your own life when you came back stronger than the 90s trend of ripping women who stand out and want more apart.
And that is my ramble about why I like the 90s trend line and how it isn't referring to flared trousers coming back in style.
I’m curious. Most of the women who were killed were innocent, but some where what I think was called “conjuring women” although I can’t find anything other than the book series on those ladies. I’m curious as to how people on here feel towards the subject. Some women did indeed practice herbal spells/remedies but they were very different from the witchcraft we have now.
So yeah how do people feel about this?
