Alice GoodrichDisclaimerThis is NOT a page about Wiccans or neo-pagans, and I do not advocate the belief that Wiccans are Satan-worshippers and/or baby-killers. I am well aware that they are not. This is a starting point for historical research into the great witch craze of 1100-1700 AD. And please, don't ask me for spells. Alice Goodrich"Alice Goodrich died in prison at Derby after she was falsely accused by a boy called Thomas Darling of being a witch. Samuel Harsnett (q.v.) discussed the fraud in a book (1603). Shakespeare consulted the book for names of demons in King Lear" (Ashley 198). Lost?Alice Goodrich is copyrighted 1998 to Shantell Powell. |
