Wow! What a treat! Loved tonight's performance of Coven.

A great education about the infamous witch trials in Pendle Hill.

Congrats to the performers, musicians, director, stage workers and staff.

Go and see it before it's sold out.

A fun afternoon with @juicypearseed.bsky.social seeing the musical Coven, which is inspired by the Pendle Witch Trials. Well worth seeing. I first learned about the Pendle Witches 30 years ago 😳 when I arrived at Lancaster University. Where do the years go!!!!??? #Coven ##KilnTheatre #PendleWitches

Just heading out to witch country to lead my first walk since I arrived up here. Hoping nothing bad happens to us! #Halloween #PendleWitches


It is a beautiful monument.

The plight and injustice around the times of the #PendleWitches is commonly understood these days, but a monument this grand we do not have.

Thank you for posting.

From the archives - scanned print from sometime the 1980s of the unmistakeable shape of Pendle Hill in Lancashire UK - home of the witches! (Have a read of the novel "Mist over Pendle") #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #minolta #pendlehill #lancashire #pendlewitches

Hanged #OTD 1612. Alice Nutter was accused of witchcraft by nine-year-old Jennet Device. The respectable Nutter protested her innocence, but was hanged at Gallows Hill in Lancaster. Hear the story in this podcast: tinyurl.com/58rkzrk6 #history #witch #pendlewitches #witchcraft

+++ #OTD the 18th of August 1612, the 'Lancashire Witch Trials', of the so called 'Pendle Witches', began at Lancaster Castle. +++

A truly shameful episode in the UK's legal history & the campaign to pardon them, continues to this day.

The Witch Trials of Pendle: Fear, Darkness, and the Haunting Legacy of 1612 Enter the eerie world of Pendle’s 1612 witch trials. A haunting tale of accusations, fear, and the terrifying cost of superstition.

History is full of shadows, but few are as chilling as the Pendle witch trials of 1612. Fear. Betrayal. A town lost to hysteria. Are you ready to step into the past?

A black German Shepherd and a black whippet-cross dog play in the heather on moorland in the north of England. The low sun is casting a reddish gold light over everything, and a trig point marker sits on the hill in the background. The sky is pale blue with wispy pink tinted clouds.

Reddish tinted moorland in the foreground, with the fields and hills of the Yorkshire Dales spread out in the distance. The sky is pale blue with heavy clouds touched by pinky gold light.

Shadowy moorland in the foreground, with Pendle Hill rising in the middle. The sun is setting under heavy clouds behind and to the left of Pendle Hill.

Sunset behind Pendle Hill again, but with a bit more golden sunset breaking through the clouds.

On this day 2 years ago, a beautiful sunsetty walk on the #PennineWay with Sirius (my #GSD) and Ash (my sister's #whippet #lurcher cross). The sun is setting behind #PendleHill (of #PendleWitches fame) and the views are glorious over the #YorkshireDales So lucky to live near enough to do this walk!

Winter has its own take on the #PendleWitches
