Progress: 0 out of 15
Level 1: 5- 10 Tasks
Level 2 11-15 Tasks
You may use each task once.

As Halloween draws near the witches come out to play so what better challenge than learning about some of the witches of the past.

TASKS
1. Morgan Le Fay
Morgan le Fay is a powerful enchantress from the legend of King Arthur, in which most often she and he are siblings. Early appearances of Morgan have her role as a goddess, a fay, a witch, or a sorceress, generally benevolent and connected to Arthur as his magical savior and protector. Her prominence increased developed over time, as did her moral ambivalence, and in some texts there is an evolutionary transformation of her to an antagonist. A significant aspect in many of Morgan's medieval and later iterations is the unpredictable duality of her nature, with potential for both good and evil.
🧙‍♀️ Read a book with a character who is powerful (your interpretation) or read a book where a character texts someone or read a book about King Arthur.

2. Aradia
Aradia is one of the principal figures in the American folklorist Charles Godfrey Leland's 1899 work Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches, which he believed to be a genuine religious text used by a group of pagan witches in Tuscany, a claim that has subsequently been disputed. In Leland's Gospel, Aradia is portrayed as a messiah who was sent to Earth in order to teach the oppressed peasants how to perform witchcraft to use against the Roman Catholic Church and the upper classes. Since the publication Aradia has become "arguably one of the central figures of the modern pagan witchcraft revival" and as such has featured in various forms of Neopaganism, including Wicca and Stregheria, as an actual deity.
🧙‍♀️Read a book about Wicca or read a book with a character who is Roman Catholic or read a book where the authors initials can be found in PAGAN.

3. Marie Laveau
Marie Catherine Laveau was a Louisiana Creole practitioner of Voodoo, herbalist and midwife who was renowned in New Orleans. She excelled at obtaining inside information on her wealthy patrons at the beauty parlor by listening to ladies gossiping, or from their servants whom she either paid or cured of mysterious ailments. She used this information during her Voodoo consultations with wealthy Orleanian women to enhance her image as a clairvoyant; and used this intel to give them practical advice. She also made money by selling her clients gris gris as charms to help their wishes come true.
🧙‍♀️Read a book set in New Orleans or read a book where a character practices voodoo or read a book where a character's wish comes true (tell us what the wish was).

4. Mother Shipton
Ursula Southeil popularly known as Mother Shipton, was an English soothsayer and prophetess according to English folklore. She is associated with folklore involving the origin of the Rollright Stones of Oxfordshire, reportedly a king and his men transformed to stone after failing her test.
🧙‍♀️Read a book set in England or read a book where a character fails a test or read a book with a character who is a mother.

5. La Voisin
Catherine Monvoisin, was a French fortune teller, commissioned poisoner, and professional provider of alleged sorcery. She was the head of a network of fortune tellers in Paris providing poison, aphrodisiacs, abortion, purported magical services and the arranging of black masses, with clients among the aristocracy, and became the central figure in the famous affaire des poisons. Her purported organization of commissioned black magic and poison murder was suspected to have killed 1,000 people, but it is believed that upwards of 2,500 people might have been murdered.
🧙‍♀️ Read a book where a character practices black magic or read a book where someone is murdered or a book set in France.

6. Alice Kyteler
Dame Alice Kyteler was the first recorded person condemned for witchcraft in Ireland. She fled the country to either England or Flanders, and there is no record of her after her escape from persecution. Kyteler had 4 husbands and the crimes against her were denying Christ, asking for advice and sacrificing animals to demons, holding covens and practicing black magic. Plus it was thought she killed and bewitched her husbands. Her servant Petronilla de Meath was flogged and burned to death at the stake after being tortured and confessing to the heretical crimes she, Kyteler, and Kyteler's followers were alleged to have committed.
🧙‍♀️ Read a book where a character is beaten or with a character who is a servant or set in Ireland.

7. Rebecca Nurse
Rebecca Nurse was a woman who was accused of witchcraft and executed by hanging in New England during the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. She was fully exonerated fewer than twenty years later. She was the wife of Francis Nurse, and had several children. Rebecca was a well-respected member of the community. She was tried and convicted in the spring and summer of 1692 and executed on July 19. Her married sisters Mary Eastey and Sarah Cloyce were also accused. Mary was convicted and executed, but Sarah managed to survive. (maybe she really was a witch).
🧙‍♀️Read a book where a character is a nurse or with a character called Rebecca, Mary or Sarah, or with a character who is well respected.

8. Tituba
Tituba was a Native American enslaved woman who was one of the first to be accused of witchcraft during the Salem witch trials of 1692–1693. She was owned by colonial Massachusetts Samuel Parris, the minister of Salem Village. She was pivotal in the trials because she confessed to witchcraft when examined by the authorities, giving credence to the accusations. She accused the two other women, Sarah Good and Sarah Osborne, of the same crime. She was imprisoned for over a year but never went to trial. It is unknown what happened to her after the case against her was dismissed by a grand jury in May 1693.
🧙‍♀️ Read a book( fiction or nonfiction) about the Salem witch trials or where a character is imprisoned or with a character who is Native American.

9. Moll Dyer

She was one of a few people in Sweden confirmed to have been executed by burning for witchcraft, and the only one to be executed by this method during the famous witch hunt Det Stora oväsendet ('The Great Noise') during 1668–1676, which ended with her execution. In 1668, her husband was executed for having intercourse with a cow.

🧙‍♀️ Read a book set in Sweden or where a character was burned to death or that a child runs away from home.

11. Isobel Gowdie
Isobel Gowdie was a Scottish woman who confessed to witchcraft at Auldearn near Nairn during 1662. Her detailed testimony, apparently achieved without the use of violent torture, provides one of the most comprehensive insights into European witchcraft folklore at the end of the era of witch-hunts. The four confessions she made over a period of six weeks include details of charms and rhymes, claims she was a member of a coven in the service of the Devil and that she met with the fairy queen and king. Lurid information concerning carnal dealings with the Devil were also provided.
🧙‍♀️ Read a book with a character who is a fairy or that a character who is a devil (your interpretation) or a book that is sixth in a series.

Her husband protested before the Reichskammergericht in Speyer and pointed out that she was pregnant. In jail, she was forced to confess to the murder of her second husband and her children with him and one member of the family of her husband's employers, and that she had taken part in a sabbath of Satan. Her pregnancy was considered an aggravating circumstance; she and her husband had no children although they had been married for fourteen years. She was forced to confess that her current pregnancy was the result of intercourse with the Devil. Bien was convicted of witchcraft and burnt alive at the stake in Fulda in late 1603.
🧙‍♀️ Read a book where a character is pregnant or read a book set in Germany or read a book that the first letter of thelocation of the book can be found in FULDA.

1. Morgan Le Fay
Morgan le Fay is a powerful enchantress from the legend of King Arthur, in which most often she and he are siblings. Early appearances of Morgan have her role as a goddess, a fay, a witch, or a sorceress, generally benevolent and connected to Arthur as his magical savior and protector. Her prominence increased developed over time, as did her moral ambivalence, and in some texts there is an evolutionary transformation of her to an antagonist. A significant aspect in many of Morgan's medieval and later iterations is the unpredictable duality of her nature, with potential for both good and evil.
🧙‍♀️ Read a book with a character who is powerful (your interpretation) Soul Eater

2. Aradia
Aradia is one of the principal figures in the American folklorist Charles Godfrey Leland's 1899 work Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches, which he believed to be a genuine religious text used by a group of pagan witches in Tuscany, a claim that has subsequently been disputed. In Leland's Gospel, Aradia is portrayed as a messiah who was sent to Earth in order to teach the oppressed peasants how to perform witchcraft to use against the Roman Catholic Church and the upper classes. Since the publication Aradia has become "arguably one of the central figures of the modern pagan witchcraft revival" and as such has featured in various forms of Neopaganism, including Wicca and Stregheria, as an actual deity.

The four confessions she made over a period of six weeks include details of charms and rhymes, claims she was a member of a coven in the service of the Devil and that she met with the fairy queen and king.
