    This warren-like museum is one of the most fascinating I’ve ever stepped into, and it’s easy to lose yourself completely in the narrow corridors which wind you through the weird and wonderful history of the occult.

    Beginning with the apparatus used to torture medieval enchantresses, the collection progresses past a recreation of a wise woman’s cottage, delightful witchy cartoons and sorcerers from vintage Hollywood, a huge display of herbal ointments and potions and some rather grotesque keepsakes (voodoo dummies made of hair and pickled two-headed piglets, anyone)?

    The final display covers the rather spooky rites and rituals of modern day Wiccans. My favourite exhibit are the lovely depictions of the clever witches of Boscastle itself, who used to sell ‘wind’ to the captains of becalmed ships waiting in the harbour for better sailing weather.

      Really partly quite bizarre exhibits. More at museumofwitchcraftandmagic.co.uk

        Nice little museum on the history of witches and their persecution.
