A Bewitched Land: Ireland's Witches

by Bob Curran - £8.99  The O'Brien Press (2005)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9780862788995 | ISBN 10: 0862788994

How did Dame Alice Kyteler escape being burnt as a witch?
 
Were Biddy and Moll Anthony witches, healers or wise women?
 
And was Bridget Cleary changeling, witch or victim?
 
Witch trials in the European or American sense were not common in Ireland, athough they did occur. In this book the stories of four remarkable court cases that took place between the fourteenth and the nineteenth centuries are told; other chapters chronicle the extraordinary lives of individuals deemed to be practitioners of the black arts - hedge witches, sorcerers and sinister characters.
 
This book gives unique insight into the fascinating overlap between witch belief and the vast range of fairy lore that held sway for many centuries throughout the land.
