Just think that before street lights we had very dark skies and the Northern Lights were probably more visible to more people. If you saw them overPendle Hill you might have believed that witches were flying and casting spells.

Guided by the light

A breathtaking show of the Northern Lights in Kilpisjärvi. The rocky path was quite challenging, but the view was worth it. Enjoy your day!

On this day, July 19th, in the year 1692, five innocent women were taken to Proctor’s Ledge and executed for the crime of witchcraft. The names of these women were Sarah Good, Elizabeth How, Rebecca Nurse, Susannah Martin, and Sarah Wildes. Today, let us remember these victims, each a person wrongfully convicted by a court that acted out of panic, driven by a deadly combination of fear, uncertainty, rumor, and suspicion. These events remind us how easy it can be to reach for a group or person to blame during a time of escalated fear and tension. In the seventeenth century, these fears were caused by a host of factors, including an uncertain political landscape, unpredictable weather changes, ongoing war, and rising inflation. A series of poor leadership decisions triggered this fear, directing the group to look inward and point fingers, rather than advising caution and reserve. The result was the largest and deadliest witch-hunt in colonial North American history.

Today, as we remember these victims, let us also remember that this behavior is not limited to the seventeenth century. In the words of nineteenth century Salem historian Charles Upham, “It would be wiser to direct our ridicule and reproaches to the delusions of our own times, than to those of a previous age; and it becomes us to treat with charity and mercy the failings of our predecessors, at least until we have ceased to imitate and repeat them.”
