Irish Thought for July 28...

A Wee Bit O' Irish History

Born in 1280 in Kilkenny, wealthy Dame Alice Kytler was the first woman condemned for being a witch in Ireland.  She was indicted for sorcery, heresy, and poisoning four of her husbands, but she fled the country before she could be executed.  Her old home is now a restaurant called Kytler's Inn.

Now that is what I call a true escape for someone accused of witchcraft.  Any witch would be smart and powerful enough to fly away before put in harm's way.  One would never be able to execute a real witch.  I wonder if scary things ever happen at her old home, like maybe she put a spell on it or something.
