  • Mother Shipton's Prophecies
    Mother Shipton's Prophecies Mother Shipton was born Ursula Sontheil in 1488 in a cave beside the river Nidd in North Yorkshire, England. Close by was an ancient well with supposed mystical powers. The woman who came to tend to her 15 years old mother, Agatha, spoke of a smell of sulphur and a great crack of thunder as the child came into the world. The baby was born mishapen and huge. Some thought her father was the devil. Her mother gave her up at age two and supposedly went to live in a convent for the rest of her life. Mother Shipton exhibited prophetic and psychic abilities from an early age. Many feared her and her powers mystical powers, which she always used to help people. She wrote her prophecies about events to come in the form of poems. She lived in the time of Henry VIII of England predicted his victory over France in 1513 -- "Battle of the Spurs". She prophesized the Dissolution of the Monasteries. This led to the redistribution of the wealth and land held by the monasteries to the emerging middle class and the existing noble families. At 24 she married Toby Shipton, a carpenter. They had no children. She eventually became known as Mother Shipton a woman who helped many people. Her home town was in Knaresborough, England. Her power to see into the future made her well known not only in her home town but throughout England. Her legend was passed on through oral traditions sometimes embellished a bit. Since 1641 there have been more than 50 different editions of books about her and her propheices.

  • History KS3 Witchcraft
    Histry KS3 Witchcraft In the 16th and 17th century people had simple beliefs, they believed in good luck, bad luck and the power of the supernatural. People were highly religious and supers??ous, and therefore would naturally turn to these beliefs when scared. Crops suffered due to drought and disease and starvaon was a big problem….People were scared that the devil was at work. Crop failures and Freak weather Illness and sudden famine Storms at sea condions deaths When lucky charms and prayers failed people looked for someone to blame… …Witches! Witches proved to be a popular target and in 1542 witchcra was punishable by death. During this period, witches were believed to have been in a pact with Satan and capable of inflic?ng harm upon their enemies. However, people were happy to use their religious beliefs as an excuse to take revenge on those people that they mistrusted, or disliked, by accusing them of witchcra. The Catholic church used witches and witchcra to keep people believing in God. Most people accused of witchcra in Wales, Scotland and England were poor, lonely, isolated and rather defenceless old ladies. These women were oen blamed for anything that went wrong within the community – from crop failures, to sudden deaths and violent storms that caused damage and destruc?on. ‘How to spot a witch’: • Old woman, usually poor • Lives alone • Has a ‘familiar’ (an animal) usually a cat or a toad • Has a ‘Devils mark’ this can be a mole, third nipple or discolouraon of the skin and when this is stabbed produces no pain or bleeding Mother Shipton • Mother Shipton was born in 1488 and died in 1561 at the age of 73.

Katie Nelson: Happy Halloween, Olivia! Olivia Meikle: Ooh, Happy Halloween! My favorite! KN: Let’s begin with fear. That seems right for a Halloween special. OM: Yes. KN: What are you afraid of? OM: Oh, man. Do you want a list? [Laughter] KN: Yes, I do. OM: Alright! Um… Ghosts, the dark, scary animals, mean people, strange men, heights, enclosed spaces, tunnels! [laughter] underground spaces, scorpions, spiders, uh… KN: You’re amazingly efficient! OM: I think about this a lot. [Laughter] KN: Are you really afraid of the dark? OM: I’m scared of the dark in places that I’m not familiar with, and that there might be stuff out there that is alive or... not alive...or otherwise threatening. KN: Hm, yes. And that seems to be a common strand among all of our greatest fears. Maybe everyone’s greatest fears, and I think, since this is a Halloween special, H.P Lovecraft can spell it out for us in this tidy little quote: “The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest fear is fear of the unknown.” OM: Well, he definitely knew how to exploit that fear. KN: Yes. And that’s what, I think, is at the root of all of these fears.

    SUPPORT MATERIAL FOR A VISIT TO TUDOR WORLD The Tudors: 1 Henry VIII and his six wives © The Falstaff Experience 2009 History KS1&2: Unit7 (Year 3/4) . CONTENTS Section A: Information for Teachers and assistants Section B: Worksheet and pupil activity sheets © The Falstaff Experience 2009 FOR YOUR INFORMATION A LOOK AT THE PAST _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION Tudor World at the Falstaff Experience is set in the 16th century Shrieve’s Barn, ac- cessed via the cobbled courtyard, dating back to 1595. Right in the centre of Town, and just 100 yards from the River Avon and the RSC. The House and barn is still called the Shrieve’s House, named after William Shrieve an Archer in King Henry VIII’s army. There has been a property in this site since 1196 when the Bishop of Worcester divided the area into plots. The building would originally have been of timber-framed wattle and daub infill construction with a thatched roof and some out-buildings. Over the centuries the property would have added to and upgraded. The biggest change was brought about by the major fire in 1595 (there have been four in total), which burned down much of Bridge Street and Sheep Street. The cobblestones and barn mostly date from that period. The cobbled carriageway is the oldest surviving in Stratford. WELCOME TO TUDOR WORLD AT THE FALSTAFF EXPERIENCE An approximation of how the early settlement may have looked In over 800 years of history the property has been a tavern, an army billet makeshift hos- pital, tavern and grain store.

  • “Unheard of Curiosities” an Exhibition of Rare Books on the Occult and Esoteric Sciences
    “Unheard of Curiosities” An Exhibition of Rare Books on the Occult and Esoteric Sciences Exhibition Catalog by Erika B. Gorder February 2014 Special Collections and University Archives Rutgers University Libraries About the Exhibition “Unheard-of Curiosities”: An Exhibition of Rare Books on the Occult and Esoteric Sciences showcases rare books from Special Collections and University Archives that display evidence of the enduring popular interest in a diverse constellation of “occult” topics from the 16th century to the present day. The exhibition primarily features books collected by the late Rutgers Professor of English, Clement Fairweather (the "Fairweather Collection"), which predominantly center on astrology and early astronomy from the 17th through the 19th centuries. Secondary topics include prediction and prophecy, demons and the devil, witchcraft and magic, the mysteries of ancient Egypt, and the 19th and-early-20th-century occult revival. A temporal rift in the collection is evident, roughly divided between works from the 17th century and the 19th century. The exhibition's topical boundaries are drawn by the Fairweather Collection itself—both its strengths and weaknesses. The curators reviewed the collection of nearly 300 volumes and identified major areas of concentration: astrology, astronomy, astrological medicine, alchemy and hermeticism, witchcraft, and prophecy and prognostication. Some topics, though not documented with great depth in the Fairweather Collection, are nonetheless featured because of their novelty or significance within the framework of the history of the occult. These include Merlin, magic and spells, Aleister Crowley, Egyptology, and cartomancy. Where relevant, books from the general rare book collection are included to enhance and illuminate a subject.

  • Roots…Another Witch ©
    Witchcraft roots…another witch © It seems that some people enjoyed the text about witch archetypes in English folklore. So, prompted by some of the lovely crystal balls for sale at the Enchanted Market, I thought we could have a look at one of the most famous witches in English history – Ursula Southell. Ursula who? That was her real name, but she is probably more famous under her attributed married name of Mother Shipton. Mother Shipton – the history Ursula Southell (or Southill) was born in Knaresborough (Yorkshire) in 1488 or, to be precise, she was actually born in a cave on the banks of the River Nidd, just outside the town. At her birth, the midwife claimed to smell sulphur and to hear the sound of thunder as the baby was born. Old wives’ tales, I hear you say, but it is interesting that the cave was later discovered to contain a mineral well that has a petrifying effect, ie it coats ordinary items with a stone covering, much like stalagmites and stalactites. Ursula herself didn’t have a very good start in life. Her mother, Agatha was only 15 years old and would not say who Ursula’s father was, not even to local magistrates. Ursula was reported to be an ugly and deformed baby – so much so that local people thought that she was a child of the Devil. She had a large, crooked nose, twisted legs and a bent back; she was teased by other local children. For the first few years of her life, Ursula was raised in the cave by her mother, but she decided to go to a convent and her child was taken in by a local family.

  • Tudors Spanish Armada Civil War Guy Fawkes
    Mother Shipton’s Cave History KS2 Tudors Civil war Spanish Armada Guy Fawkes King Henry VII My name is Henry Tudor . I became king of England in 1509 at the age of 18 and ruled for 36 years. I am well known for creating the church of England and turning England into a Protestant country because the Pope refused to let me divorce my wife Catherine of Aragon. I went on to marry a total of six times and my wives all either died or I divorced and even beheaded them! I heard about Mother Shipton and the famous ‘Dripping Well’ in 1538 and I sent someone to investigate it. People believed that the well had healing powers and used to bathe underneath it. • At what age did Henry Tudor become King? • How many wives did Henry VIII have altogether? • Why did Henry VIII create the Church of England? • What did Henry VIII do when he heard about the well? Queen Elizabeth I My name is Elizabeth Tudor and I am the daughter of Henry VIII. I became Queen in 1558 at the age of 25 and ruled for 45 years. I never married and was a clever but ruthless Queen. The three heads you saw in the museum are Lord D’arcy, the Duke of Suffolk and the Earl of Northumberland. They were tried and executed for treason against me. I carried on the Protestant church after my father but did face the Spanish Armada (an event Mother Shipton prophesised) because I was not Catholic! • How long did Elizabeth rule for? • Who were the three men in the museum whom Elizabeth tried for treason? • Which event did Mother Shipton prophesise would happen during Elizabeth’s reign? King James I My name is James Stuart and I became King in 1603 and ruled for 22 years after Queen Elizabeth.
