The History of Witchcraft & Women in Ireland

About this event
Explore Irish witchcraft throughout history to the modern era, including the infamous Witches of Islandmagee. Followed by Q&A.
This talk explores Ireland’s unique relationship with magic and power: how folk practices blurred the lines between healer and witch, how belief in charms and curses endures still, and how contemporary witches are reclaiming these traditions today.
Readers are advised to check with the organiser before relying on the details published here.
