Apotropaic Magic and House Protection | Evidence of Witchcraft?

Were our Ancestors Witches? This is a much debated question. Can we say that witchcraft was purely a modern revival, or is there evidence of people performing acts of witchcraft and magic in the past? Brian Hoggard suggests in his book, Magical House Protection, Evidence of Counter Witchcraft, that we can answer some of these questions by looking at the real archaeological evidence left in old houses, that may indicate that superstition and witchcraft practices went hand in hand. Concealed Shoes, Dead Cats, and strange Witch Marks, like those found at Creswell Crags, leave us some physical evidence of strange magical acts which were quite widespread from the 13th right up until the early 20th Century in some instances. Sadly we now have little little understanding of what these acts were for. Can we see evidence of Witchcraft in Society that has rarely been discussed? Is there any logical explanation for some of these finds? It's certainly interesting, and leaves us wondering what these ritual acts of Apotropaic Magic were about? #pendle #creswellcrags #witchmarks #concealedshoes 00:00 - Introduction - Were our Ancestors practicing Magic? 01:25 - Considering Witch Trials as Evidence 02:24 - The Mini Ice Age Climate Change causes fear 04:48 - Cunning Folk and Witches 06:00 - The Case of The Pendle Witches 09:27 - What is the Evidence of Witchcraft? 11:40 - Apotropaic Magic 13:19 - The English Reformation 16:14 - Witch Marks 17:08 - The Daisy Wheel 19:50 - Brief overview of other Markings 20:20 - Marian Marks 22:20 - Knole House 24:51 - Demon Traps 26:02 - Creswell Crags Witch Marks 28:22 - Light and Darkness 29:08 - Burn Marks 31:15 - Written Charms and Talismans 32:18 - Apotropaic Acts of Magical Protection 32:51 - The Curious Case of The Pendle Witch House 34:27 - Dead Cats and Horses Heads 39:24 - Concealed Shoes 45:40 - Dolls and Children's Toys 46:59 - Witch Bottles 51:23 - Conclusions Music in this video by You Tube Additional Video by Videvo https://www.facebook.com/downthewoodl...
