slowly she turned

I’ll preface this slideshow of photos from the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic with this: I am not a witch or a pagan, although I have explored Druidism and have an affinity for those who worship nature in some form. I don’t have a religion of any kind. I will say that although I tend toward skepticism and logic, I do know that I don’t know everything, and I am wary of practices which attempt to control forces that are not understood.

What I am very interested in is the history of witchcraft and women’s rights, ethnobotany, and folklore and folk practices, as well as pagan art. This museum features a large swath of information from centuries ago up to the present day, including pop culture. It was AWESOME and I recommend it to anyone visiting Boscastle, which apparently has a reputation for witch culture and history.

If you have a problem with this post, I strongly suggest that you move on.
