An Diabhal Inti - Season 1

In Kilkenny Alice Kyteler was suspected of killing her husband and the Bishop was convinced that she was in league with the devil. Alice went on the run but her girlfriend Petronella de Meath met a bad end. Centuries later in Youghal, Florence Newton is accused of bewitching Mary Longdon. Florence is put on trial for occult reasons and has since been known as the 'Witch of Youghal'.

'Goody' Glover is accused of being a witch after denying an accusation of theft. Hung on Boston Commons, her public trial was a warning to all women who spoke out.

The belief that the devil walks the world in the form of witches triggers witch panics throughout Scotland. As these ideas spread to a small town in the North of Ireland, terrible consequences unfold for an old woman, whose name we will never know.

Scottish settlers arriving in the north of Ireland bring with them a belief in witchcraft that will bear terrible consequences for eight women and one man who will forever be known as the Islandmagee Witches.

The European witch-hunts were coming to an end and women's knowledge of the supernatural was now being belittled as 'superstitious' nonsense by the church and ruling elite.

Biddy Early, a bean feasa and a healer, is a powerful symbol of resistance against the culture that produced the horror of the European witch hunts.
