    Did you know that the dead had nothing to do with Samhain? Originally the Gaelic festival focused on the supernatural as around this time the membrane between the worlds thinned, the need for protection was heightened, fires were lit to ward away the darkness, spirits and other unspeakable creatures. Creatures that within Gaelic texts and mythology invaded our world, heroic and royal figures met their untimely demise by their hands and ancient capitals were laid siege to. This link to death and ancestors didn't come into play till about 700CE when the pope moved the the holiday All Saints Day to November 1st, whereby the churchs many saints were honoured and prayed to. Divination was themed around death and marriage, did you also know that Halloween was massive rival for Valentines day in the victoria era? All my links are here.

    Lammas is essentially the pagan harvest festival and it doesn't get a lot of attention - not as much as Beltane or Yule - but it's still a really important time to honour and hold space for. Traditionally ushered in the ending of hunger and to celebrate the abundance that the land had produced. It was also quite a sexually charged event with the sexes coming together to harvest the crops and we see marital fairs set up and temporary marriages arranged which could be made permanent after a year if the couple agreed to it.

But what is actually going on with the frankly bizarre and incredible account of her witchcraft practice, was she performing shamanic death divination, she did terrible things but was she redressing the imbalance of power in her society by donning the cloak of a witch, was she in a dream cult, the suggestion of this forces us to radically reassess what our dreams actually are, was she communing the devil or was it something else - a land spirit or a spirit helper conjured as a protective entity on account of her harsh life, were her coven being contracted by community members to perform death transference?

    Isobel Gowdie is Scotland's most famous witch and gave the world the idea of a coven and that must contain 13 members. On trial as a witch, four infernally sensational confessions rocked the late medieval world, so much so that modern historians have described her confessions as ‘one of the most remarkable documents in the history of witchcraft.' Todays episode is difficult to listen to in places in regards to how women and those labelled a witch were treated within the legal system. But the suffering Isobel endured wasn't in vain, we have some powerful insights into how this talented woman practiced witchcraft. Ironic, considering the very system that sought to condemn and quell people like Isobel the documents from which are being pawed over and have the ability to empower a new generation of witches, the numbers of which haven't been seen the world before. It's very much the season of the Witch, and possessing powers over life and death - Isobel Gowdie is a blinding beacon. All my links are here.
