The Pendle witches were a group of twelve accused witches from Lacashire in England who all lived near Pendle Hill. They were accused in 1612 and tried in Lancaster, with the exception of one who was tried and executed in York. Ten were found guilty of murder, one was acquitted and the last died in prison. The York trial was on July 27, with the execution the following day. The Lancaster trials occurred over August 18-19 and the executions occurred on August 20.

'M' is a sacred letter in most pagan cults, in which witches become witches. It's a sacred letter becsue being at the middle of the alphabet and represents all that was and all that will be. Witches choose 'm' names because they hope it will bring them more power.
