    Only you could make 2 sets of crossroads in to a very interesting video Stephen... or maybe Tea in Valhalla too but my money's still on you. I'm surprised that her cottage wasn't burned down in the village. That walking stick sounds cool. You're right when you say about the prejudices towards women and other groups of people still existing, very sad. I love our history of witches, wizards, myths and fables. Hope you have a great weekend.

      Hi Gez, thank you buddy for such a wonderful comment 😊 I will pin this at the top shortly 😊
      I love folklore, fables too and I have a big interest in witches.
      It makes me wonder how many crossroads across the UK include burials that have long been forgotten.
      That small crossroad was probably the most eerie. As it was so isolated. A huge rock was originally on top of that, but it was moved during ww2.
      Sending my best to you buddy 😊

    That was fascinating! Somehow the Salem Witch trials seem to override so many other interesting and important aspects of witch trial history. I think it's such an interesting aspect of women's history in general. I also never ceases to amaze me how much history is hidden everywhere in England. You had me looking for witches in Hertfordshire!

    • @StephenandYhana
      @StephenandYhana  Рік тому

      Thank you buddy and I agree. The Salem Witch Trials do over ride other areas of the witch trials, even though many hundreds more were executed in the UK then in America. I think books like ‘The Crucible’ had a big part to play in that.
      Hertfordshire had its fare share of witches - Jane Wenham comes to mind. My direct ancestor Susanna Aylott was actually one of her accusers.
      I can imagine there are crossroad burials in Hertfordshire too, it’s just a matter of hunting them out. A big thank you buddy and catch up with you soon 😊

      Only recently did I find out about this significance of crossroads. References were made to crossroad burials in song and story over the years, even in America, but I didn't understand them. Ultimately, my understanding is that if you couldn't afford a proper burial, you would likely be buried in a pauper's grave, but if you died in disgrace (e.g. as a criminal), you would be buried far away from town at the crossroads and not even be afforded homegoing rites.

    Hi, Stephen and Yhana.
    I have never known about"Crossroads" burial places for not only witches but also criminals and suicides in the UK.
    I can't imagine living in fear of those women accused of being witches just because their belief was different? And still, PPL are persecuted. Well said, Stephen. From now on them I may examine carefully about "crossroads" ....
    OMG, Stephen...my original comment disappeared..so I am trying to post it here for a short version, hoping for you see it.

Sometimes that can happen if you place dots and no spaces between words (UA-cam treats that as a possible link), although your grammar is perfect 👍 lol 😆
      I can imagine crossroad burials happened else where in the world too, possibly even the USA during those early Puritan times.

    A scary story with a valuable historical background. Great research. Sometimes I think you're a history teacher or just read a lot of books.
    Your last words are correct. The Middle Ages are not over yet.

    Such tragic times with the so called "Witch" times. Sad too about the suicides. Even today, so little is understood about cognitive disease and depression. Tragic time and yes sadly prejudice still exists today. While most of us don't cause physical harm, some do. I'm afraid that it always will exist. Why, because we're human and have our own flaws. I think this is sad, but tragically true.
