Description
Uncover Ireland’s strange and unique history of witchcraft - from medieval sorcery trials to fairy-haunted villages. Followed by Q&A.
Witch trials have haunted the popular imagination for centuries, but Ireland's story is one of the strangest of all. Fewer than ten trials across four whole centuries, cases so rare and so peculiar that they've been largely forgotten, and a supernatural world that looked nothing like the Devil-fearing panic gripping the rest of Europe.
Discover why Ireland stood apart from the European and American witch-hunting crazes. Explore the remarkable case of Alice Kyteler - Ireland's most famous accused witch, and uncover the role of fairy belief in shaping Irish justice, fear, and community life. Join us to explore a corner of history that is all the stranger for being so overlooked. Consigue ya tus entradas para The History of Witch Hunts in Ireland en London!
