Predicted someone's death. She said the Devil was responsible for storms around Michaelmas and that they would continue. Learned her healing from her father. Gripping to cure. She did lots of rituals with cats, passing them around and combining them with joints (dead people's). They cast live cats into the sea, the cats swam out again. Did a version of the Lord's Prayer, Ave Marias. She was paid to heal very high status people (Lords, lairds, and their wives) from a large territory.
