 Witches Tools - Incense Incense is a powerful and easy to use tool in the witches arsenal. It comes in several varieties; loose, resin, sticks, and cones. There are also endless varieties of ingredients for an amazing array of smells. This makes it fairly easy to find an incense that supports your current spell or intention. The only real caveat is that some people are allergic to smoke ( as well as some pets), in which case you could use essential oils in candles ( which you also have to be careful with if you have pets). Incense is used in the east part of the altar for air. It can be used for cleansing, powering your spell, putting you in the magical mindset, or simply for making your house smell good. Incense itself may have been around since 6000 B.C., somewhere around ancient Sumer. It was used in ancient Egypt as well as China. Incense is often made from the resins of trees and herbs. Sandalwood is a very common and popular incense from a tree and can be used for purifying, sanctifying, and creating a sacred space. I personally love incense, the variety and ease of use is so wonderful to me. The Warboys Witches & the Throckmorton Children This tale takes place in the town of Warboys in the Fens of England. The trials took place in Warboys Huntingdonshire. The story of Alice Samuel and her family is an odd one. Once you hear of it you may come to see why in that time period the act of witchery seemed very real. Not all of these events are sure to be accurate but I’ve done the best I could to weed through what I found. It all began with two families, the Samuels and the Throckmortons who had recently moved to the area September 29,1588. The first pointing of the fingers occurred in 1589. The Throckmortons had a large family and were of a wealthy class as best as I can tell. Which automatically COULD point to political motivations in this story like all others but it isn’t proven. Robert Throckmorton, father of Jane Throckmorton (the first child to take ill only one month after they moved to town) was good friends of Sir Henry Cromwell “one of the wealthiest commoners in England” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witches_of_Warboys). Out of good neighborliness 76 year old Alice Samuels on Sunday November 12, 1589 visited the Throckmortons to express wishes of good health for the child and a visit with the family. Not long after Alice’s arrival the child (9 year old Jane) seemed to take more ill and yelled out ‘Look where the old witch sits. Did you ever see one more like a witch than she is?’(The Witches of Warboys sig.A.3.r). Now initially this was dismissed as that of the child being ill and under duress until later when four of the other sisters and some of the household servants also showed signs of the same symptoms. The servants were sent away and replaced but those servants became similarly afflicted. When Alice was brought before the children they seemed to worsen and claimed to want to scratch her. The affliction came in the guise of physical fits where bodily parts would flail each individually, sneezing fits that lasted at times for a half of an hour and other times silently lay like in a coma or trance while the stomach area would heave up and swell but couldn’t be forced back down. Other symptoms that presented were like that of palsy (paralysis, especially that which is accompanied by involuntary tremors. Google dictionary). In some instances the eldest (seen as the strongest) would have fits which would thrust her out of her bed or if sitting in a chair even break the chair in more than one instance. The accounts given have the daughters not being able to recollect hearing, seeing or feeling while in these states nor what they were saying. These ongoing events happened several times per day. After inquiring with doctor Barrow on three different occasions and after medications were sent for healing, to no avail, the doctor inquired about the potential for sorcery or witchcraft (now urine was sent out as a part of this attempt of diagnosis but it doesn’t say in what manner it was used for). After that this urine was sent to Master Butler, a family acquaintance, and he sent along the same treatment as Doctor Barrow had. “Exactly a month later, on the same day almost to the hour, two more of Master Throckmorton's daughters fell sick to the same illness that was afflicting Jane.” This lends itself easily to the beginning of believing the possibility of something supernatural at play. “These daughters, two to three years older than Jane, cried out: "Take her away, look where she standeth here before us in a black thrumbed cap it is she that hath bewitched us and she will kill us if you do not take her away.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witches_of_Warboys The eldest daughter had even predicted her death and that of the others! In March 1590 Lady Cromwell conversed about the accusations against her (Alice Samuels). It is said that a ...
