Agnes Nutter the witch:
St.Agnes was a devout Christian who lived in the early 4th century. She was not raped but died at the stake because of her faith and unwillingness to commit herself to non-Christian Romans. Then her death anniversary, January 21, became St. Agnes' Day. It is said that The Eve of St. Agnes is the coldest night of the year, and if a virgin girl fasts and lies on her back, she can see her future husband in a sweet dream at midnight. Keats has a poem entitled St. Agnes' Eve, which tells the story of an unmarried girl who elopes with the intruding son of an enemy in a dream on St. Agnes' Eve.
The end of the witch Agnes was burned at the stake, and the legend on the eve of St. Agnes also has a prophetic meaning. Her offspring, the witch Anathema Device, obeyed her prophecy and ended up marrying the half-baked witch hunter Newton Pulsifer. And Newton Parsifah is the descendant of the witch hunter "Thou shalt not commit adultery" Parsifah, who burned Agnes to death.
Nutter means madman, and people in the Middle Ages often burned people with mental problems as witches. Perhaps such a name has a subtle sense of irony associated with her refined and accurate predictions.
The end of the season is busy, so let's start the winter vacation first.
