Declare Yourself

This is "Declare Yourself" from "Widdershins" which relates and refers to the events of the time of James I of England, his "Daemonologie" and how this fed into the persecution of "otherness" in a time of complex allegiances, persecution and uncertainty. The song is not just about the notorious Pendle Witch Trials (although they were certainly a consequence) but is more concerned with the "mob mentality" and how "ordinary" people were drawn into ensuing moral panic.  It features Taliesin Paine on electric guitar and Steve Paine on drums.
