The museum is located in Boscastle, Cornwall, England and the description sounds really interesting:
The Museum of Witchcraft and Magic (MWM) explores British magical practice, making comparisons with other systems of belief, from ancient times to the present day. We aim to represent the diversity and vigour of magical practice respectfully, accurately and impartially through unique, entertaining and educational exhibitions, drawing upon cutting-edge scholarship along with the insights of magical practitioners.
I had heard of it. Never been. I just watched a funny little documentary about the ‘Real Cornwall’ on the history channel and they went to the museum. Very cool. I think my ancestors are from that area so I was researching my roots. Thanks for sharing this post.
I stayed in Cornwall once as a kid (funnily enough bought my first crystals there ) and it’s beautiful! I didn’t visit MWM though so definitely need to go back!
I had never heard of it before and if I didn’t have a deathly fear of flying, I would love to go sometime. It looks very interesting and beautiful. I will definitely read up on it more though. I like learning about witchcraft throughout the ages.
It’s an interesting documentary- and so cool that you have to family ties back to Cornwall, @Berta! Maybe you can make it back there someday and perhaps find some family connections nearby
Ohhh how fun, @Limeberry! Yes, I hope you have the chance to go back to Cornwall sometime in the future. It looks like a spot worth a visit!
This looks great! It would be so refreshing to travel and see a place like this. I would love a group witch trip to go and see some place so inspiring. I’ve actually never been over seas and I’ve always wanted to go.
We used to be told that the Encyclopedia Britannica was a well researched and factual resource of information… then I read this entry and it made my jaw drop…
The same dichotomy between sorcery and witchcraft exists (sometimes more ambiguously) in the beliefs of many peoples throughout the world. Again, witches are typically seen as particularly active after dusk, when law-abiding mortals are asleep. According to traditional Navajo belief, when a witch travels at night, he wears the skin of a dead animal in order to effect a transformation into that animal. These “skinwalkers” hold nighttime meetings at which they wear nothing except a mask, sit among baskets of corpses, and have intercourse with dead women. In some African cultures witches are believed to assemble in cannibal covens, often at graveyards or around a fire, to feast on the blood that they, like vampires, extract from their victims. If they take the soul from a victim’s body and keep it in their possession, the victim will die. Like those in Western society suspected of child abuse and Satanism, African witches in the popular imagination are believed to practice incest and other perversions."
Travel is addictive, @colin- once you get started you’ll find there’s no such thing as “just one trip”! I hope you get the chance to explore someday!
Woohoo- thanks, @Amethyst! Gotta start doing some money spells so you can win the lotto
Ohh wow, @Berta. The Encyclopedia Britannica isn’t one I use too often (although I know my favorite Wikipedia isn’t the most reliable source on the web either ) but yikes! That is a very… bias and harsh description of witches. I think it’s high time for them to update with a more respectable and modern definition of witchcraft
Group witchy trip, anyone?
