The History of Witchcraft & Women in Ireland


Monday, 24 November 2025
About this event
Explore Irish witchcraft throughout history to the modern era, including the infamous Witches of Islandmagee. Followed by Q&A.
This talk explores Ireland’s unique relationship with magic and power: how folk practices blurred the lines between healer and witch, how belief in charms and curses endures still, and how contemporary witches are reclaiming these traditions today.
