The Pendle Witch Child (1/4)

[@burnsideart47]

I was brought up In Pendleton parish, my fathers side of the family were from Sabden for many generations. I loved living where I could see the hill every day but I moved to Scotland 28 years ago.

the little animated figures bring it to life brilliantly and the pendle countryside is very evocative.

I read a book called Burning Issy by Melvin Burgess and it is all about this. It is one of my absolute favorite books!

[@marksadventures3889]

Two things, Witchcraft is not always an evil thing - unlike many of the religions that replaced it. The second thing, most of those killed were just poor beggars or single old women who had land - something many were envious of. James was a shit! The detestable followers of the devil can be found on most churches and kirks throughout the land or world.

I love the animations!!

[@rondamico7802]

I did not know England had mountains that big. wow! I thought it was all meadows and hills.

[@ianprice2925]

Pendle Hill isn't big. There are much bigger hills that ARE mountains and though they don't compare to the Alps, the Himalayas, Rockies, etc, they are beautiful.

[@courtneylomax5180]

Come to Cumbria in North West England mate. The county is full of large hills. One of them is practically on my doorstep

[@JilliDoodles]

Pendle Hill it rises up from the M6 an iconic landmark.Fascinated by the Pendle Witches give Witches respect!

[@ianprice2925]

No it doesn't. It's about 25kms east of the M6 - you may be able to glimpse it from the M6, but it doesn't 'rise up from the M6'!

[@megdye236]

Is the M6 an iconic landmark?

[@moragsinclair5881]

[@snowfirel7108]

People back then ate a lot of Rye bread, which is known to cause mental problems.

[@silas9084]

it's not the rye, but the consumption of rye infected with fungus which caused hallucinations , convulsions and other problems .
