{"product_id":"byrne-f-patrick-witchcraft-in-ireland-9781781179994","title":"Witchcraft in Ireland","description":"Here is the full account of Dame Alice Kyteler of Kilkenny who was said to have poisoned three husbands and enchanted a fourth, before her nefarious doings came under the notice of Richard de Ledrede, the Bishop of Ossory, who set an Inquisition to have her charged with sorcery. \n\u003cbr\u003e\nFlorence Newton, a member of a colony of Puritans, was placed on trial in Youghal in 1661 for having bewitched a young girl; and in 1710\/11, strange happenings were recorded in Island Magee, Co. Antrim. The activities of the 18th century Hell Fire Club, whose members set aside a place for Satan at their dinners, are described. \n\u003cbr\u003e\nThat witchcraft is not in the dim and distant past is shown in the account of the Clonmel burning of 1894, when a young wife, who was thought to be a 'changeling' was thrown into the fireplace and burned by her husband and other relations. In fact, in 1961, week-end trippers in Island Magee accidentally discovered articles used in the Black Mass hidden in a cave.","brand":"Mercier Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53765396201814,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/byrne-f-patrick-witchcraft-in-ireland-9781781179994","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
