The Mysterious Seelie Wight Women
15th & 29th August 20:30 (1h 10min)
Tickets: £15
16th-century Scottish Folk belief and history interwoven to tell the tale of Maggie and Jonet’s initiation into the ways of the seelie wight witches. A story of faith in faerie law, friendship and nature, with some music and ritual. Two working-class Lowland Scottish women learn to make folk belief their mode of survival and a way to navigate the seismic and often dangerous changes to politics, faith and ordinary life in the century that saw the Reformation and the Scottish Witchcraft Act.
