# Event Details - **Event Name**: Odditorium Presents: The Afterlife of a Cornish Witch: Joan Wytte and Her Stories - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 15 Oct, 2026 at 07:30 pm (+01:00) - **Event Description**: Tickets: https://www.ticketsource.com/dr-bramwell/t-zoorzar With Simon Costin, Dr Barbara Chamberlin, Dr Helen Cornish and music from The Claras Across talks by Simon Costin, Dr Barbara Chamberlin, and Dr Helen Cornish, and original songs written and performed by The Claras, we celebrate and interrogate the Afterlife of a Cornish Witch, Joan Wytte and her stories. Simon Costin Simon is the Director of the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic in Cornwall, the world's largest repository of artefacts and archive material relating to Witchcraft and magical practise. He will discuss the history of the museum, its founder, Cecil Williamson, and how the skeleton arrived in the museum and what evidence he gave for her story. The Claras Sussex-based folk duo The Claras (Clare McGlone and Claire Rakich) combine harp and harmonies to perform traditional songs and story-inspired originals. For this event The Claras have used the work of Helen Cornish and Barbara Chamberlin to create two original songs about the women behind the witchcraft - Joan Wytte and the unsung unknowns. Dr. Barbara Chamberlin Starting from a blurred memory of a witch and a museum, Barbara and her collaborator Jess Marlton, went in search of Joan Wytte to try and tell her story. In this illustrated talk, Barbara shares their version of Joan Wytte’s life and afterlife, from her life as a cunning person in Bodmin through to her final resting place, and in doing so, explores ways that papercut can reflect the many gaps in her story. Dr. Helen Cornish Dr Cornish examines where Joan’s story is – and isn’t – found in the archives. It takes some surprising twists to a London anatomy museum and an American art gallery before considering how Joan is recreated anew for new generations who find diverse meanings in these stories.
