Take a walk with the witches in Colonial American history, Joan Wright, Alse Young, Dorothy Good, Mary Johnson, John and Joan Carrington, Rebecca and Nathaniel Greensmith. Joan Wright, also known as the "Surry Witch," is the first known woman accused of witch craft in the British North American Colonies in 1626. She was a self-proclaimed healer, mid-wife, and a "cunning woman." Alse Young was the first person executed for witchcraft in the thirteen American colonies in 1647. Witchcraft was punishable by death as one of twelve capital crimes.
If you are a practicing witch and your legacy is an American witch, get to know the first witch that was accused and the first witch that is executed in our country. How have we evolved over the years?
