The Wotch Memorial in Salem, Massachusetts is a significant historical landmark that commemorates the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. This memorial serves as a reminder of the dark period in American history when innocent people were accused and executed for witchcraft. The Salem Witch Trials occurred in Salem Village (now present-day Danvers) and Salem Town between February 1692 and May 1693. During this time, girls in the community began to exhibit strange behavior, which was attributed to witchcraft. As fear and paranoia spread, a special court was established to hear cases of witchcraft. Over 200 people were accused, and 20 were executed by hanging.
Hump Day Husbandos: Bruno Bangnyfe (BURN THE WITCH)
For today’s Hump Day Husbando piece we are going back to highlight yet another premium husbando delivered by the one and only Tite Kubo, creator of Bleach. But instead of picking from the ranks of Bleach once again I actually have yet to discuss BURN THE WITCH — which unfolds in the Bleach universe, but which is its own distinct thing — in any capacity here at Rice Digital.
So here is Bruno Bangnyfe to complement an earlier Hump Day Hubby piece on Grimmjow from Bleach! While BURN THE WITCH’s manga serialisation remains quite the short-lived exploration of dragons being the cause of the majority of problems in a fantastical and magical London, what the series presents us with is a truly exciting premise chock-full of endless potential. Case in point with this guy right here.
Over 200 people were accused, and 20 were executed by hanging. The Wotch Memorial, located in a small park in Salem, was built in 1992 to mark the 300th anniversary of the trials. Designed by architect James Cutler and artist Maggie Smith, the memorial consists of a small garden with stone benches surrounding a central stone circle.
Who is Bruno Bangnyfe?
Bruno is not only a Wizard in the world of BURN THE WITCH, but a high-ranking one. Bruno is the director of the Inks division within the Wing Bind. This agency is located in Reverse London and is one that handles all things Dragon-related within its area. This consists of the controlling and exterminating of said species, with both agents and those higher ranked in the organisation being trained in magic to handle them.
With Bruno and the Inks being only one of eight divisions and directors that we get to even really see from within the Top of Horns, the top-tier division of said organisation, what we do see from Bruno’s involvement may be sparse, but it certainly demands attention and piques the interest for the early days of this fresh IP from Kubo.
The stone circle is inscribed with the names of the 20 individuals who were executed, along with the dates of their deaths. Visitors to the Wotch Memorial can reflect on the tragedy and the devastating impact it had on the lives of the accused and their families. The memorial serves as a solemn tribute to those who lost their lives in the hysteria of the Salem Witch Trials. It also serves as a reminder of the dangers of mass hysteria and the importance of upholding justice and due process. In addition to the Wotch Memorial, Salem is home to several other historical sites related to the witch trials, including the Witch Trials Memorial, which honors all of the victims, and the Salem Witch Museum, which provides a comprehensive overview of the events. Overall, the Wotch Memorial in Salem stands as a poignant reminder of a dark chapter in American history. It serves as a somber tribute to the victims of the Salem Witch Trials, encouraging visitors to reflect on the dangers of prejudice, fear, and the importance of preserving the principles of justice and fairness..
