A fascinating but tragic tale - many thanks. Common criminals can cause a lot of distress, but they are amateurs compared with those who indulge their sadism in a higher cause.

Ah yes, a lovely Scottish witch story to get me through my homework Thanks man! Keep up this most blessed work!

The misogyny described here is abhorrent. To think so many innocent women were murdered.

A beautiful belief system before the Evil churches were built.

The Middle Ages must have been a psychopath’s paradise.

Wonderful story. The ending is sad, but I hope the soldier came and took her to the fairies anyway

Wow! Scored abune the breath, tortured unto false confession, hung until unconscious, then awoken to be burned alive? I wonder if at any point Bessy was regretting not following Thomas to the home of the Daoine Sith. My little family thanks you for the story, my friend- slainte mhath!

Fear and ignorance played a big part in days gone by of cruelty to wise women , burnt at the stake alive must have been the worst death anyone could inflict on another person regardless to what they thought they were guilty of . It just goes to prove in those far off times a person couldnt just be a helper or healer and live to old age and die in their bed's without interference from ppl getting them into trouble. 😡

A little too late but our witches have recently been pardoned may there souls rest in peace now 😊

Thank you for this beautiful video. How evil were those witch hunters! So sad. But it's wonderful and magical to learn the history ✨️

I remember sitting through, what seemed to be endless Sunday church services as small child. Even then I remember thinking, "It's a beautiful blue sky day. God isn't sitting in this boring old church! He is out with the birds in the trees!" That said, I am sure I too would have been burned at the stake back then. I don't think there is a truer evil than that of men in power claiming to do God's work to further their own power. I like to think there is a special hell for those who engaged in those practices, where they get to be put through everything they did to those innocent people for all eternity.

Spirit of love and truth dont forget these innocent women given such supernatural gifts for good. Heartbreaking crime against humanity.

So unsettling and sad xx

heard elsewhere that in some cases women were targeted when they became widows, labeling them as witches was a way to take their land from them, seems to sound about right

@LiathWolf

Жыл бұрын

100%, basically any excuse was used to take the land and belongings. It also seems to me that many were just jealous of there knowlege in healing etc, specificaly because they were women

What a dark period in human history.

Just because something is not understood by oneself doesn't make it less true. Things beyond our comprehension doesn't make it less existent.. only 2% of knowledge is known to mankind, so in reality we as human know nothing and something, there is a line between nothing and something.

Thank you , grey wolf.

Since people genuinely believed in the Devil and his works, and witchcraft and old traditions, naturally there were those that honestly tried to curse people and do ill to them with the help of spells and witchcraft. I think it's naive to think that all those that had this type of interest only had good in their heart.

And what about people in the church at the time who claimed to be decent god fearing upstanding members of the community, yet outside the church had numerous marital affairs, or cheated people in business. Is there sin less egregious simply because they weren't invoking infernal powers to do it but of there own free will?

That is so sad. What gets me is that the belief is that the devil does bad and God does good. So how could she have been bad when all her actions were good? How could she have been a witch working with the devil if she was helping and healing people? By their logic, would it mean that Jesus was also practicing witchcraft with all the healing he did? These people make no damn sense.

12:33 i hate the “Church”!! ( i couldn’t listen anymore.) yet there are some great teachings and spirituality, as in any religion. the saints are but the gods of ancient times guised differently. i find a beautiful church magical. 🌷🌼🌱

One of my ancestral clans (Mackenzie) did witch hunting to curry favor of King James, as well as an ancestor who was burned alive for being a witch in Northumberland. Today, my immediate family is still practicing the old ways albeit with some Christian influences. They didn't stop anything, just made us stronger!

The idea of a devil is purely Christian. It has nothing to do with the blessings of the witch. Look to the birds for true blessing. Feed them and give them water when it will not freeze. They will bless you better than you can imagine. Rose
