The used to call them cunning women: the vocal, or independent, or childfree. And god forbid a woman liked herbs! She’d be locked up or thrown in the river.
While today’s London is a proud cornucopia of different genders, ethnicities, beliefs, looks and general vibes it wasn’t always this liberal. In fact, our capital has a long, dark history of witchcraft and persecution.
Join us on an Unlikeable Woman™️ tour of the dark, devilish and unjust history of witchcraft in London.
You will meet some of the forgotten women who have been branded and persecuted as witches throughout the ages from medieval healers and Elizabethan devil-worshippers to pagan priestesses and wartime mediums. They've come back, and they want their stories to be heard. Explore the places these 'witches' were associated with, and some of the locations that were host to occult activity, including a pagan temple, right in the heart of the city!
We’re partnering with the talented harpies at Herstorical Tours for their unforgettable Hex in the City experience, followed by a booze up in one of London’s oldest pubs. Come in fancy dress, if you like. Or just dress fancy. Whatever the f**k you want.
