RealCornwall.tv Curious Cornwall - The Witch of Helston
For centuries, the cunning folk, the white witches or Pellars of
Cornwall were widely consulted and provided a range of services,
from lifting curses and undoing the Maleficia of witches, to offering
cures, charms, and divination.
Widely celebrated for her skills throughout the Duchy, Tammy Blee's
reputation as one of the most gifted of 'wise woman' ensured a steady
stream of visitors, to her home in Helston.
Today, her last resting place is unmarked and forgotten.

Fantastic documentary but tradition would say that it wasn't the Devil per se (maybe the folk lore Devil but not the devil of Christianity or who knows? Maybe it was!) but rather the Bucca!
