Artwork created using antique floral paisley cotton fabric from the 1910s-1920s, vintage D.B. Fuller and Co. yellow rose cotton fabric from the 1950s, fire, wood, ash and ember

- Remembering the Burning Times -

Issobell Oige

Execution Date: April 24, 1597
Location: Aberdeen, Scotland
Execution Method: Strangle and Burn

Issobell was accused of being able to cause storms by hanging a beetle from a thread and whispering to it. Issobell was also accused of using special green thread to bewitch cloth so that it would sell at market. She was found guilty of the crime of witchcraft and sentenced to die.

“The superior learning of witches was recognized in the widely extended belief of their ability to work miracles. The witch was in reality the profoundest thinker, the most advanced scientist of those ages. As knowledge has ever been power, the church feared its use in women's hands, and leveled its deadliest blows at her." - Matilda Joslyn Gage, 1893
