In a small, quaint village nestled in the countryside, there lived a witch unlike any other. She was known as the Witch on Bicycle. Her real name was Eliza, but villagers seldom used it, as her distinctive mode of transportation had become synonymous with her identity. Eliza was not your typical witch. She did not wear black robes or live in a dark, gloomy cottage. Instead, she resided in a cozy cottage adorned with colorful flowers.
“Prosecutions for witchcraft may seem far removed from our lives now, but we believe this offers an opportunity to better understand issues that still affect us today,” she said. “In the UK stereotypical expectations about how men and woman should act persist, we still see outspoken women viewed and treated harshly and women are still expected to mitigate their behaviour to protect themselves from male violence. Globally people are persecuted for witchcraft and women often disproportionately suffer the consequences of religious extremism.”
By recurring to the biographical register and micro-analysis, the case study of Jimmy Mohale aims to demonstrate that systemic agency is less important than intimate and idiosyncratic dynamics pertaining to the sphere of family. The charity is also pressing for both national and community memorialising most recently a street in St Monans was renamed after Maggie Morgan, who was accused of witchcraft after giving birth to an illegitimate child fathered by the son of an influential Fife family.
Instead, she resided in a cozy cottage adorned with colorful flowers. Her attire was vibrant, reflecting her joyful and eccentric nature. But what truly set her apart was her means of getting around – a bicycle.

“There’s lots more to do,” said Claire Mitchell QC, who established the Witches of Scotland campaign in 2020, before bringing a petition seeking apology and pardon, as well as a national memorial, before the Holyrood parliament earlier this year. “We’re keen to get the pardon because it marks a legal status change. It’s important for any human to be properly recorded in history.”
Every morning, the villagers would witness the enchanting sight of Eliza pedaling through the village on her bicycle. With her long, flowing silver hair blowing in the wind, she would greet the villagers with her warm smile and twinkling blue eyes. Some would smile back, while others would watch in awe and disbelief. The Witch on Bicycle was not just a whimsical persona; she was a healer and a helper. Eliza possessed a unique gift for natural remedies, and the villagers sought her out for her medicinal potions and herbal concoctions. Whether it was a persistent cough or a broken heart, Eliza knew just the right remedy to ease their troubles. But her true magic lay in her ability to bring people together. Eliza organized monthly gatherings in the village square, where villagers would come together for lively discussions, music, and dancing. It was during these gatherings that the true power of the Witch on Bicycle was revealed – her ability to foster a strong sense of community and unity. Despite her positive influence on the village, there were some who still held skepticism towards Eliza. They whispered rumors and questioned her intentions, fueling fear and mistrust. However, the majority of the villagers had experienced her genuine kindness and profound impact on their lives. They chose to believe in her and celebrate the presence of the Witch on Bicycle. As time went on, Eliza's legend grew beyond the village. Travelers passing through would recount tales of a witch who rode a bicycle and brought joy and healing wherever she went. People from neighboring villages began seeking her assistance, and her reputation extended far and wide. The Witch on Bicycle became a symbol of hope and inspiration, showing that even the most unconventional among us can bring light and love into the world. She shattered stereotypes and defied expectations, encouraging others to embrace their true selves without fear of judgment. And so, the Witch on Bicycle continued to pedal through the village, touching lives and embracing the magic within. As long as her bicycle wheels kept turning, Eliza would forever remain a beacon of love, compassion, and community for all those fortunate enough to cross paths with her..
