Wednesday 26th November - The Crime, The Witch and The Punishment

We will be going to have a look at the witchcraft laws that were upheld in the UK from the 1500s to the 1950s. Special attention will be paid to the witchcraft trials of the 1600s and pick those and the laws apart. We will have a look at the myths and legends around the trials and put the facts up against the fiction of the time. We will also have a look at how the trials in England affected the famous trial in Salem.
For the work shop we will split into groups, each group will get a law and then judge if a witch in question (that profile will be me btw) would be punished
