Spooky Season SpellworkThis year Samhain went a bit differently than anything in the last 25 years. There were no children to watch in a Harvest Parade or to get fed & dressed for walking the neighborhood in hopes of treats & not tricks.
I have been having some mobility things so my husband and I decided that we were going to stay in with each other.
Since it was just us and Samhain, my husband found us something to watch. He said that I’d really like it, or he thought I wpukd anyway. So we watched
Witches: The Truth Behind the Trials
It’s a docu-series type of show. Each episode is about the wotch trials in a different area, all kind of around the same time. They start with Salem, Massachusetts and then also cover England, Germany, Sweden, Scotland, Ireland, & another place. We watched the entire series.
They were full of good information and well done. The experts were great too, especially explaining that they were mostly accused and not witches; but why during those times the accused were believed to be witches which could be based on “spectral evidence” alone. Spectral evidence was or is evidence that cant be proven or disproven. So anyone could say that they saw or heard anything because you can’t prove they did or didn’t, which sent many to at least the gallows.
It was definitely a much needed day of rest with a bonus of spending time with my hisband and learning about Witch History.
