Old Hag - Stratton: A Glimpse into the Past of Witchcraft and Folk Lore This evocative image of an old hag, titled 'Old Hag - Stratton,' transports us back in time to an era when tales of witchcraft and the supernatural were deeply ingrained in the collective consciousness of communities. The woman in the photograph, with her wrinkled face, gnarled hands, and piercing gaze, is the embodiment of the old hag archetype that has long haunted our folklore and popular culture. Throughout history, old women such as Stratton were often accused of practicing black magic and witchcraft. These accusations were fueled by fear, misunderstanding, and a deep-seated mistrust of those who deviated from societal norms. In a time when women, and especially older women, held little power or agency, such accusations could be devastating, leading to social ostracism, imprisonment, or even death. Despite the persecution and stigma associated with witchcraft, the belief in its power persisted. Old hags like Stratton were believed to possess an otherworldly knowledge and the ability to manipulate natural forces. In some communities, they were revered as healers and protectors, while in others, they were seen as malevolent beings who could curse the land and its inhabitants. This photograph, with its haunting beauty and intriguing backstory, offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of history and folklore that surrounds the figure of the old hag. It serves as a reminder of the complex and often contradictory ways in which women, particularly older women, have been perceived and treated throughout history. Whether viewed as witches or healers, the old hag remains a fascinating and enduring figure in our collective imagination.
