Witchfinder General, Witchy Wednesday article.
This weeks Witchy Wednesday is about the very controversial and much hated figure that was Matthew Hopkins better known as The Witchfinder General.
To be honest I hate to give this man any of my blog space, my feelings on what he did to innocent men and women are of total revulsion and disgust!
Never the less it is really important to learn about the past which should include the good and the bad and to understand the Witch trials that happened in England Matthew Hopkin is a key part in doing so.

Some folklore stories and articles about History can be quite scary and disturbing and may have some adult content. So I would always advise visiting, reading and viewing any links before showing or reading to younger children.
