ACCUSED! The Witch Trials of Britain with Tree Carr
on Saturday the 18th October 2025 at 3:30 pm
Join author, death doula, and transpersonal therapist and high priestess witch Tree Carr for a haunting lecture that brings to light one of the darkest chapters in British history — the witch trials.
Between the 16th and 18th centuries, thousands of people — mostly women — were accused, tortured, and executed as witches across the British Isles. In this powerful talk, Tree explores how these brutal persecutions were rooted in misogyny, religious extremism, state-sanctioned violence, classism, ableism, and deep-seated fear of the "other."
Far from mere superstition, the witch hunts were tools of control — silencing those who dared to live differently: healers, midwives, herbalists, widows, and mystics. Tree unpacks the social, political, and psychological forces that drove these atrocities, from King James VI’s obsession with demonology to the role of community betrayal, scapegoating, and systemic cruelty.
This is not just a history lesson — it’s a call to remembrance, justice, and awareness. Through stories of the accused, Tree invites us to bear witness to the silenced, to honour the misunderstood, and to reflect on the ways oppression still echoes today.
Come with open hearts and questioning minds — and leave with a deeper understanding of the witch wound still woven through our collective memory.
