However, before we get into the good feeling of the coming spring. Let us remember the innocent victims of the Salem Witch Trials this week.

Sage Advice

The accusations against neighbors began in early 1692 after a mysterious bewitchment beset the daughter and niece of the minister of Salem Village (today the town of Danvers). On March 1, 1692, Salem, Massachusetts authorities interrogated Sarah Good, Sarah Osborne, and an Indian slave, Tituba, to determine if they indeed practiced witchcraft. Under pressure, Tituba confessed to practicing witchcraft and implicates Good and Osborne (she later recants). Assumption of guilt and a fear of the devil snowballed the trials into a county-wide nightmare, in which innocent women and men were slandered, imprisoned, and executed.

The first woman executed, Bridget Bishop lived in downtown Salem, and the trials and hangings occurred in Salem Town. When the dust had settled in 1693 and the last victims were released from jail, this legendary miscarriage of justice had claimed 25 innocent lives and ruined countless others. Today, the City of Salem reflects on this harrowing time as a reminder to build a tolerant, inclusive, and just community.

Night Sky: New Moon

We welcome a Pisces New Moon on February 27th at 7:45 p.m. EST. It brings the last lunar cycle of the astrological year and our official entrance into Eclipse Season. This February New Moon will be an impactful one and will open a portal into one of the most transformative points of the year.

From this New Moon until the end of Eclipse Season on April 27th, we are in a portal of deep transformation, healing, and shifting. It is likely that all of us could be experiencing a very different reality come the end of April due to all the cosmic energies on offer.

Based on twenty-seven years of original archival research, including the discovery of previously unknown documents, this day-by-day narrative of the hysteria that swept through Salem Village in 1692 and 1693 reveals new connections behind the events, and shows how rapidly a community can descend into bloodthirsty madness. 

Author Marilynne Roach opens her work with chapters on the history of the Puritan colonies of New England, and explains how these people regarded the metaphysical and the supernatural.Bookshop.org sells eBooks now too!
