19th-20thC witchcraft & cunning folk. As part of the @healers18341948 project, @singinghistori1 & I will be mapping all known witchcraft assaults & cunning-folk in England. Should be interesting... regional variations are considerable. Results will be open access.
This is another blow to academic history research in the UK. Having started career pre-digitisation & seen its development, JISC Historical Texts became a brilliant one-stop research tool. Loads of universities stopped paying for EEBO & ECCO as a result ... so what happens next?

I am very very excited about this event!

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
A sobering account from a newspaper of 1766: the innate fear stirred by #cunningfolk and #necromancers…
Concur with Glen. Media reporting on the HE crisis is woefully ignorant, fails to consult properly with academics across the sector, & is actually harmful. This isn't just about academics, but life-long learning, access, cultural enrichment, knowledge creation & local economies.

This arrived yesterday and this morning, I treated my self to @odavies9 article on Ice Cream Vans which was great fun. I discovered ice cream vans only when I moved to England from Italy and I liked them immediately. I am a regular consumer but I am ambivalent on the noise 🤔
Daily #17thC #alphabetchallenge #17Cmedicalwomen U: Umwin Mrs, Perfumer, @ Royal Exchange, ±1700. She sold ‘Super-Excellent Lady Moor's drops’ curing respiratory ailments and could “bring down the Menstrua, the Stoppage whereof causes People to look Yellow, Black, Green. 🧵
Second day working on @FolkloreSociety archives. My knowledge of warts and blemishes removal is now impressive! #folkmedicine
An 1861 thought-provoking newspaper article contemplated the contrasting skills of “Young Ladies of the past and present” and the expectations for accomplishment in 1861. The article concluded with a summary of that year’s census listing the diverse range of employment for women:
There's still time to submit your proposal for the International Conference on Witchcraft and Human Rights, past, present and future: Implementing UN Resolution 47/8 @TINAAWAHP #witchcraftaccusation #harmfulpractices #HumanRights #AcademicTwitter theinternationalnetwork.org/events
This just arrived!!!! A medical romance drama involving a brilliant pianist and a genius #bonesetter! My Saturday afternoon is sorted. I wonder…would this count as research 🧐?!
CAUTION: DISTURBING CONTENT. The scene is set at the York Assizes in 1826, where a harrowing tale of medical neglect emerges. A stone mason stands before the court, accusing a bone setter of the catastrophic loss of his leg. Yet, there is more to his tragedy. Read on...
After digging up skeletons of all periods and dealing with 19th-century burials I believed to have a really strong stomach and steady mind to all things macabre! Well, I was wrong! An 1826 case of a rotting foot falling off a still alive man is making my morning difficult 🤢
@singinghistori1 I also heard this week and was deeply saddened. He was a wonderfully kind and generous man and a great historian. I feel privileged to be publishing one of his last piece's in the Bloomsbury History of Magic. His work will live on.

.@RoyalHistSoc has been speaking this week to historians @unilincoln and will be contacting university senior managers. The Society visited historians at Lincoln in May 2022: it's a v. impressive department with vital ties to the region in terms of students, teaching & research.
Incredibly sad as we face 6 more redundancies in History at UoLincoln on top of the loss of 3 valued colleagues (via voluntary severance). We've always punched above our weight in terms of research + teaching and this is such a sad comment on all of that work and UK HE overall.
I had my first full-time permanent academic job in 1992 at a former poly & have spent most of my career in the sector. The joy of teaching creative subjects to students from working-class backgrounds/state schools/mature students, many felt they were given a 2nd chance 1/
VCs are guilty of undermining their own universities by collectively remaining silent on the detrimental removal of the cap, while our Union has been pathetic on this issue due to internal politics. Loose loose situation all round.
University crisis. I've read article after article on this, which rightly mention inflation & tuition fees, & international students, but few mention the dog-eat-dog removal of the student cap. Quite a few Hums depts would not be facing current cuts if the cap was still in place

Revival of British folk customs could get heated in letters to the 19thC press. E.g - the Dunmow Flitch ceremony in 1854. ANTI-HUMBUG - *it was all rubbish* VERITAS - HUMBUG was "a frosty cross old bachelor, on the wrong side of 50, one on whom no lady ever deigned to smile."
More Bedouin jewellery.
More from the museum of Jordanian Traditional Life. The use of stones for healing by Bedouins.
