Send me a text message (TW: This story briefly mentions child abuse/death, and has an ongoing theme of the mistreatment of an elderly lady with cognitive struggles.)Join Kylie for this emotive episode of Witchy Woo, about the last witch of Scotland, Janet Horne, and her daughter, Helen.In this episode, we explore the hysteria of the 1500's-1700's surrounding witches in the UK, and the persecution, torture and execution of countless innocent victims, who were primarily women.This particular story is the sad tale of an elderly lady, who was accused of witchcraft due to her daughter's physical disabilities and her own declining mental state.Find Edwin Morgan's Poem, 'Janet Horne' HEREFrom Kylie:I invite you to join me for a virtual memorial to send our thoughts, love and healing to Janet, Helen, and all the other innocent victims of this terrible time in our history. If you feel called to, please light a candle in memory. I believe that together, when sending healing to the past, we can help to heal the collective witch wound, and free our Ancestors of the past.
