:_candles: March 1st, 1692
As a Descendant, I often have to remind people of this.. That these Women were never ACTUALLY witches, they were simply healers, planters, midwives, scientists, mothers, and often just wise older women within their communities.
"March 1st is seen as a Day of Remembrance for the Salem Witch Trials.
Just a Reminder; Those who suffered and died there were not #Witches and held to their faith even as they died.
Please don't disrespect their spirits by calling them witches."
Every so often though, I do feel a pull in my heart that even if she wasn't truly a Witch.. Being hung as one would stick with her soul, and today she would have LOVED to get revenge as one.. and that's where I come in! 😈
To be honest, there is not a single day that goes by that I don't think about Elizabeth (Jackson) Howe and wonder what kind of woman she'd be today.

I found myself thinking about the Salem witch trials earlier. Mass hysteria and how history tends to rhyme.

#OnThisDay in #History back in 1697:
#Massachusetts holds a day of fasting in memory of the colonists it falsely executed for #WitchCraft. 💀
I feel like they could've done more than just skip lunch to atone for the whole "#SalemWitchTrials" thing, but maybe that's just me? 🧙🏻♀️

The Tragic Life of Rachel Clinton
https://donnagawell.com/the-redemption-of-mehitabel-braybrooke/the-tragic-life-of-rachel-clinton/
Rachel Clinton was married to an ancestor of mine. This paints him in pretty bad way.
I had also read that he saved her from the trials, but cannot find anything to back that up.
