Isobel Gowdie

Isobel Gowdie was indicted in 1662 in Scotland of witchcraft. Your confession, which was allegedly without the use of torture, is one of the most detailed sources of incantations as they were used towards the end of the age of the witch trials.

She claimed that she and other members of their " coven " transformed themselves at their meetings in animals like rabbits or cats.

For the transformation into a rabbit three times one should repeat this verse:

And the reverse transformation requires it, three times to repeat this verse:

After the transformation, they were allegedly received entstamme ends of one of the Scottish mythology fairy queen in the kingdom.

Today, it is unclear whether Gowdies confession is due to a psychosis or whether they suspected of witchcraft, is promised a lighter sentence from such a statement. My confession is, in substance the same as most protocols this time, but is much more detailed. There are no records of their execution.

Gowdies story was later processed in a variety of cultural works. She appears as a character in several books on, and JW Brodie -Innes A. autobiographical novel The Devil's Mistress, in Jane Parkhurst Isobel, in Night Plague by Graham Masterton and in Noches Paganas: Cuentos del Fuego Narrados junto al Sabbath by Luis G. Abbadie. Isobel Gowdie is also found in songs by Creeping Myrtle and Alex Harvey; The Confession of Isobel Gowdie is an orchestral work by Scottish composer James MacMillan.

Some of Gowdies own works were in the anthology Early Modern Women Poets: 1520-1700 laid the Oxford University Press as well as in World Poetry: An Anthology of Verse from Antiquity to Our Time.
