A Bewitched Land
A Bewitched Land: Ireland's Witches | Robert Curran
1 post | 1 reading
Witch trials in the European or American sense were not common in Ireland although they did occur. In this book the stories of four remarkable court cases that took place from the fourteenth to the nineteenth century are told; other chapters chronicle the extraordinary lives of individuals deemed to be practitioners of the black arts – hedge witches, sorcerers and sinister characters. The book gives a unique insight into the fascinating overlap between witch belief and the vast range of fairy lore that held sway for many centuries throughout the land.

Happy New Year! 🎉

What better way to begin 2019 than with a cup of tea and a book in bed? Looking forward to reading this one seeing as Ireland is my home country, full of history and mystery! Love hearing the spooky tales that are scattered all around. Many of them to do with witchcraft and the paranormal.
