ST. PETER'S CHURCH, LINLITHGOW

A History of Scottish Witches: The Devil's Handmaidens explores the phenomenon of witches & persecution in Scotland between 1563 and 1736. Looking at the influence of the likes of John Knox and James VI of Scotland, this book examines the magic and fairy beliefs that underlay witchcraft and how this became twisted by the Scottish Kirk’s obsession with the Devil. Using examples from actual trial records and so-called witch confessions, this book explores how societal norms surrounding women caused so many to face the rope and the flames and how those norms were exacerbated by the chaos of the reformation and the wars of the Three Kingdoms.

Dozens of women in West Lothian lost their lives after being accused of witchcraft, and we're looking forward to hearing Mary Craig expand on the topic in this fascinating talk.
