# Event Details - **Event Name**: The History of Witchcraft & Women in Ireland with Amy O’Riordan - **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 24 Nov, 2025 at 07:30 pm – Mon, 24 Nov, 2025 at 10:00 pm - **Event Description**: Explore Irish witchcraft throughout history to the modern era, including the infamous Witches of Islandmagee. Followed by Q&A.About this EventWhen you hear the word witch, do you picture Salem bonfires or shadowy figures over cauldrons? Ireland’s history tells a more complicated story. While mass witch trials swept Europe, Ireland saw only a handful of prosecutions, among them Florence Newton of Youghal, Mary Butters the “Carnmoney Witch,” and the infamous Witches of Islandmagee. Alongside these cases, legend remembers Biddy Early with her blue bottle and Alice Kyteler, the Kilkenny noblewoman accused of diabolism in the 14th century. Beyond the trials and tales, everyday women (and men) practised cures, herbalism, protective charms, piseogs, and even the feared Widow’s Curse.This talk explores Ireland’s unique relationship with magic and power: how folk practices blurred the lines between healer and witch, how belief in charms and curses endures still, and how contemporary witches are reclaiming these traditions today.Doors open at 7:30pm, talk starts at 8:00pm - come down early to grab a good seat!Follow us on IG @seedtalksAmy O’Riordan is a queer Irish historian, content creator, and activist whose work brings Ireland’s hidden histories into the spotlight.
