Henry Gillard Glindoni British 1852-1913 Henry Gillard Glindon 'Henry Glindoni': A British painter of historical and genre scenes, Henry Glindoni started his career as both a scene-painter for the theatre and as a porcelain painter. He then began to study art at the Working Mens' College and at the Castle Street School of Art. Glindoni specialized in 17th and 18th century scenes and was a regular contributor to the Royal Academy exhibitions during the latter part of the century. H. G. Glindoni was a full member of the Royal Society of British Artists and an Associate of the Royal Water Colour Society.

Witchcraft, in various historical, anthropological, religious and mythological contexts, is the use of certain kinds of supernatural or magical powers in order to inflict harm or damage upon members of a community or their property. In many societies, people distinguish between bad witchcraft and good witchcraft, the latter involving the use of these powers to heal someone from bad witchcraft. The concept of witchcraft is normally treated as a cultural ideology, a means of explaining human misfortune by blaming it either on a supernatural entity or a known person in the community. A witch (from Old English wicce wicca is a practitioner of witchcraft. Belief in witchcraft, and by consequence witch-hunts, are found in many cultures worldwide, today mostly in Sub-Saharan Africa ( in the witch smellers in Bantu culture), and historically notably in Early Modern Europe, where witchcraft came to be seen as a vast diabolical conspiracy against Christianity, and accusations of witchcraft led to large-scale witch-hunts, especially in Germanic Europe. The "witch-cult hypothesis", a controversial theory that European witchcraft was a suppressed pagan religion, was popularised in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
