As we get closer and closer to the thinning of the veil, we are taking the time to honour and remember the tragic story of the Pendle Witches! This history is intertwined with many other witch hunts that took place across Europe and eventually into the colonies of Salem Massachusetts. Join us as we explore the outlandish trials and ideologies that put many innocent people to death.

TW: death by hanging; misogyny/sexism; downright blasphemy!
