Status Updates From Witch Bane

Lolz. What's a little nekkid devil-worshipping graveyard ritual between neighbors?? Stay classy, y'all. 🙈

'Truly she was sorry for him. But that was one thing, & being sorry about him might be another; & already a thought was creeping in that she was not, perhaps, entirely sorry to be done with him, to be free of him at last. It was a scandalous thought, & wicked, & the more she said so the more it insisted.'

'She had never dreamed that this could happen to her, the wife of a substantial farmer & a Ruling Elder of the Church. Then she remembered that she was not now his wife. She was his widow, & here she was, being treated like the others. Position mattered nothing when the accusation was witchcraft.'

Enjoying the mystery of this one, and the suspense for the characters is killing me. Really puts you on the sides of the witches.

My husband bought this for me as a gift since it takes place in the area where he was born in England and grew up. I've been to visit several times, and I'm familiar with the witch lore there, Pendle Hill, and Clitheroe. I also do Renaissance Faires. It is very interesting, written in a more historical phrase tone, and really gives insight into witch persecution of the time. Enjoying it.
