FAMILIAR THINGS: WITCHCRAFT, ROYALS & THE WITCH DOG
Thursday 13 March
7.45pm at The Old King's Head, Kings Head Yard, 45-49
Borough High Street; �2.50 (conc �1.50)
South East London Folklore Society. Familiar spirits were a
particularly British aspect of Witchcraft. Perhaps none was
so famous as 'Boye': the enormous white dog who accompanied
Prince Rupert on his campaigns from 1642-44. Seen as a
talisman, mascot, & victory bringer by the Royalists; and as
an agent of the Devil, a shape-changing, Lappish witch by
their Parliamentary foes: 'Boye' was equally celebrated and
derided in print, painting, & pamphlet over the course of
his short life. This talk will look at the rise and fall of
the 'Witch Dog' and the manner in which he continues to
capture the imagination and interest of modern day authors
and playwrights.
