Modern witchcraft, a contemporary spiritual practice that draws from ancient traditions, has seen a revival in recent years. One interesting aspect of modern witchcraft is its incorporation of Greek gods and goddesses into its rituals and beliefs. The Greek pantheon is rich with deities that represent different aspects of life and human nature. These gods and goddesses are often called upon in modern witchcraft to imbue spells and rituals with their specific powers and attributes. For example, Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty, is often invoked in love spells or rituals aimed at enhancing one's attractiveness. Athena, the goddess of wisdom and strategy, may be called upon for guidance and protection when seeking knowledge or making important decisions.
In Hale’s book, published in 1697, he mentions an anonymous afflicted girl who suffered from “diabolical manifestation” until her death and died a single woman. Since only three of the girls, Abigail Williams, Elizabeth Hubbard and Mary Warren, are unaccounted for in the records at the time, it is possible Hale was referring to Williams.
Although Betty Parris later married and raised a family in Sudbury, Mass, there are no records indicating what happened to Abigail Williams after the Salem Witch Trials ended. When trying to get to the bottom of the cause, many historians turn to the first accusers, three girls by the names Betty Parris, Abigail Williams, and Ann Putnam Jr.
Athena, the goddess of wisdom and strategy, may be called upon for guidance and protection when seeking knowledge or making important decisions. In addition to individual deities, modern witchcraft also recognizes the importance of the Greek pantheon as a whole. Many practitioners believe in the concept of working with specific gods and goddesses in harmony, acknowledging their interconnectedness and the unique contributions they each bring to the spiritual practice.
The role of Abigail in the Salem witch trials book
During the 17th century, The Salem Witch Trials were a series of prosecutions in which a group of girls accused over 150 people of practicing witchcraft/voodoo. The trials were believed to have started in Reverend Samuel Parris’ house. His daughter’s caretaker, Tituba Indian, openly displayed her witchcraft powers to the kids she was taking care of. The girls then snitched on Tituba to Reverend Parris’, who then took legal action by bringing Tituba to court. During her hearing, Tituba then admitted to her accusation, as well as disclosed the names of 9 other women who she believed also signed, “The Book of the Devil,“. (SOCumberbatch)
After the prosecution of Tituba Indian, who was imprisoned for her crimes, the girls also accused Sarah Good and Sarah Oborne. Sarah Good was an old beggar who was falsely accused by the girls of practicing witchcraft and afflicting them. She was tried in court and during her hearing, she accused Sarah Osborne of being a witch as well. This act completely validated Osborne of being a witch, and she was hung on Tuesday, July 19th, 1692. (Ray, Benjamin C.)
Unlike Tituba and Sarah Goods, Sarah Osborne repeatedly denied the accusations of her being a witch, and never confessed to the accusations that the girls threw at her. Along with that, she did not accuse any other innocent women of practicing witchcraft (or voodoo) as well. Unfortunately, Sarah Osborne was never tried in court because she had died while being shackled away and imprisoned.
The incorporation of Greek gods and goddesses into modern witchcraft not only adds depth and diversity to the practice, but also allows practitioners to tap into the wisdom and power of ancient mythologies. By drawing upon these ancient deities, modern witches can connect with forces that transcend time and culture. It is important to note that while modern witchcraft may incorporate elements of ancient Greek religion, it is not a reconstruction of the ancient practices. Instead, modern witchcraft adapts and evolves the old traditions to fit the needs and beliefs of contemporary practitioners. In conclusion, modern witchcraft with the Greek gods offers a fascinating blend of ancient mythology and contemporary spirituality. By incorporating the wisdom and power of the Greek pantheon into their practice, modern witches are able to connect with ancient forces and enrich their spiritual experiences..
