The chilling tale of Bridget Cleary, Ireland's last witch burning

[@thebee8415]

The men responsible all stood by watching her writhing and screaming in agonising pain as she was engulfed in flames just in front of the heart of her home fire in her kitchen of her own tiny marriage cottage. The fairy fort on the hill just beyond the homestead. The poor woman pleading her innocence. RIP Bridget 🙏🏻💐

I read a book about this years ago I can't remember what the book was called ,I do remember it happened near clonmel in Co Tipperary.

Wasnt a witch burning because we dont have witches. Thats English culture. And our culture isnt superstition just because its not English.

Our herbalists and tarot card readers etc, where and still are labeled witches, like Biddy Early that didn’t live too far from me Our culture is very much mystical etc anything is possible only if you believe ❤
