Abraham JoinerDisclaimerThis 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. Abraham JoinerAbraham Joiner was "a teenager living in Shadwell who, having spent all his money on a woman, said he didn't know where he could get any more unless The Devil gave him some, which The Devil appeared and did, etc. (1721)" (Ashley 199).
