In Remembrance

In my devotional practice as a Witch Anum Cara, I held a crossing-over ceremony on the Isle of Bute, where I lamented and keened for the accused witches from this small Scottish island. I laid a white quartz pebble gathered from the Argyll shore, in memory of each of the 49 Accused Witches from the Isle. These stones are associated with the fair folk and have been found in the graves of the ancestors.
