Apparently, and if I remember correctly, the article stated that over 350 so-called witches were burned in a 50 year period in this green. I again picked up my jaw up off the floor. After the reading of this article I searched every piece of information I could find on my adopted family's history. It turned out that the Paisley family was a baronial family and personally responsible for the upkeep and the execution of the law in this area. How closely related to the actual line of heritage our branch was is unknown, apparently there was a rather large fire pre-1900 that destroyed most of our branch's history.
Brain check time.
Perchance it is the Mother's way of making them repay for destroying so many Pagan lives by making one their relative by choice. Remember, I am adopted, I was chosen. Another article published by the same magazine as above was also interesting. Whether or not what they stated about the chair is true I cannot decide. 36 No. 5 and was found on page 72.
