Bessie Dunlop: The Wise Woman of Lynn (The Occult)

Описание: Consider supporting me on Patreon:   / liathwolf  

It is sad to see that in the modern time, most people think of witches and witchcraft as entirely evil. But looking back in history this is just not the case, of course there are those who have claimed to be in league with the devil and on his orders did carry out horrific atrocities, yet for each demon summing sorceress there are an equal amount of wise women and healers who have only used their power to help others. Unfortunately, during the witch hunts conducted in Scotland, the leaders of the church and on many occasions the king himself, would treat all whom used unearthly power in the same grizzly fashion. The wise woman of Lynn, Bessie Dunlop.
