This important and poignant project was completed during the season of Samhain 2020 to help with the transmutation of wounding surrounding witches and the burning times.

Only a few hundred years ago, women were killed - hanged, drowned, burned, crushed under giant stones or left to rot in prisons -for being 'witches'.

Earth honourees, healers, moon dancers, animal lovers, midwives, herb mixers, crystal lovers, teachers.

Women who had opinions.
Mothers, daughters, sisters, grandmothers.
Our ancestors.

The witch hunts happened from approximately 1450 to 1750 and resulted in an estimated 35,000 executions. They were instigated by the church.

In 1542, the English parliament passed the Witchcraft Act which defined witchcraft as a crime punishable by death. In 1604, James VI made hanging mandatory for those convicted of witchcraft.

During the Pendle witch trial in August 1612, three generations of one family as well as other 'witches' were marched through the streets of Lancashire and hanged.

In Scotland, over 3,800 people were tried for witchcraft and as many as 1,500 were burned between 1537 and 1772. The Salem witch trials followed in Massachusetts between 1692 and 1693.

The last execution for witchcraft in England was in 1684 when Alice Millard was hanged in Exeter.

Witch hunts still happen today. Not ones that end in physical execution (usually.) But through persecution in other ways. Online trolling, competitions, bringing each other down, oppression by the government, patriarchal restrictions, being mocked for being different…

We, as women, lost our ancestors in the burning times.
We, as women, need to stand together and realise we are one.

As a collective, we will be able to lift the vibration of the Divine Feminine. To claim back Goddess.

We are these women. They are us. And we are one - with them and with each other.

The memories of the persecuted “witches” live within our bones. Their screams haunt our souls. The humiliation and unfairness live within our blood.

WE ARE ONE.
