Tasmin Blight the “White Witch of Helston”, was undoubtedly the greatest of the Cornish conjurors during the 19th Century, and one of Britain’s most famous hedge witches (a practitioner of the herbal arts). She began practicing around 1830 and was certainly well known as a hedge witch by the time she married another conjuror, James Thomas, in 1835. This marriage came to an end after James proposed sleeping with another man at St Ives, who promptly reported him to the local magistrates. With the threat of arrest, James fled Cornwall, and Tasmin publicly distanced herself from him. The two of them were thereafter estranged. Tamsin Blight died on October 6, 1856.
