British witch trials. Reminder. Cunning-folk/healers/midwives made up only a small proportion of accused witches, let alone those hanged. This is a FACT based on intensive historical research by historians. There are multiple reasons why in published work.
i always remember my lecturer at uni.- @FolkloreSociety ‘ s Caroline Oates, telling us that as many mayor’s wives as midwives were killed in European witch hunts.

Have a copy and yes, its proved invaluable for some of my Dragon-slaying stories though the Man Who Loved Dragons may disagree ......
#Dragons for #StGeorgesDay! This invaluable handbook for the dragon-lover, by Jacqueline Simpson, is part of The Folklore Society's book series 'Myth, Legend and Folklore'.
@BRIANARNOPP @FolkloreSociety @odavies9 @CeriHoulbrook @DrFrancisYoung @DeeDeeChainey Looking forward to seeing this come together and hoping to visit when I’m down that way!
Witch trials. Occasional reminder. Simple personal misfortune lies behind many witchcraft acusations: ill-health, agricultural failure, domestic strife, accidents, etc. The macro themes of gender, wealth, capital, religion, politics, etc then shape how prosecutions develop.
@CentreMyth @FolkloreSociety @odavies9 @CeriHoulbrook @DrFrancisYoung @DeeDeeChainey Any of the Uniherts MA students present or past interested in contributing?
GREAT NEWS! We have managed to secure a second space just 5 minutes from our current base so we can move our document archives and expand our reference library. We are only £100 short of paying the first 6 months rent on this new room. Can you help? gofundme.com/f/keep-the-fol…
It’s graduation week at @UAL My fabulous Chancellor’s outfit was designed and made by London College of fashion student Yinfang Wang. They feature a lot of recycled plastic and yes, I can sit down
Yesterday my amazing Folklore Studies MA students @unihertsarts presented their field research into contemporary rituals & traditions. Here are just a few of their fascinating topics @UHertsResearch
#Vikings #MedievalMonday Over 10,000 copies sold of 'Viking Myths & Sagas'! Particularly popular at #Jorvik Viking Centre! @JorvikViking @HistoryVikings @HistoryofViking @MythologyMonday @FairyTale_Tues @LegendaryWedne1 @FolkloreThurs @FolkloreSociety vikingmythsandsagas.blogspot.com
An early 1900s remedy for bile which I truly believe would also make a great cocktail: “1 pint of strong wormwood tea, 4 ozs of salt, 1/2 pint of gin. Take a wineglass full when needed. Drink it cold” from the archives of @FolkloreSociety. I love #folkmedicine
Every cohort of the Folklore Studies MA @UniofHerts populates this map of contemporary rituals & traditions, with examples from their homes or travels. I love to watch it grow historypin.org/en/contemporar…
I know I’m late to this particular party, but very glad I’m now a subscriber 😊 @FolkloreSociety
In the @FolkloreSociety archives. "Do not open!" Reader - I opened it. What is it?
I have an article in a forthcoming issue of the @FolkloreSociety journal Folklore on correspondence to WF Kirby, the first translator of The Kalevala into English direct from the Finnish original. (There was an earlier English version done from a German translation).
Dorset author Reginald Bosworth Smith in his book 'Bird Life and Bird Lore' 1909 mentions "Good Friday as one of the most important days of the year. Many of the villagers still make a point of baking a batch of bread on that day, (1/3)
@DrFrancisYoung @FolkloreSociety There's a new issue? But I haven't read the last one yet. The Folklore journal is in its sunniest, most ground-breaking era since the very early years. Anyone interested should become a member of @FolkloreSociety at once.
