Tituba

February 16, 2018

Young and scared
In 1680, she came to Salem from Barbados
A slave to Reverend Parris
Nurturer to Betty
Young and scared
Devils calling from Barbados folk songs
Spiritual and black magic
A witch she might be
Young and scared
Whippings and beatings
Confesses
The devil has her and people are scared
Young and scared
Discouraged and crazy
Helpless
Gives other names to save her own
Young and scared
Witch Craft
