Statements
Not the typical love magic, this was done to get Dame Jeane Lyoune Lady Angus to love her, by which I think they mean to show her favour? She paid Agnes Sampson a ring and a head scarf. She was also accused of consulting Rychard Grahame as to whether or not the king would come home from Denmark. She was acquitted of making wax images and of being at the North Berwick meeting. Extended description of potions made out of strange materials. (English)
Part of the North Berwick witch hunt. It involved many people and many accusations about witches meetings, specifically two separate attempts to sink the royal ships. The first to sink Queen Anne on her way home, second to trouble King James after he went to get her in Denmark. Baptised a cat.Prior to the North Berwick description there is a detailed account of who was supposed to do what in preparation for the meeting. They supposedly made potions with weird things, got bed linen from the King, sent people off to do things. A very organised plan. See Agnes Sampson (c/egd/63) for basic description of the North Berwick meeting. Napier's additions include - meeting at Halloween, there was a goat bird there. Napier and McCalyean were in charge of making wax images of the king but they were no't ready yet. They weren't supposed to use their real names at the meeting.She supposedly hired Agnes Sampson for a friend who was vomiting after child birth. (English)
