Boscastle Museum Of Witchcraft Part 1

Not far from Tintagel is a clear Cornish neighborhood called Boscastle. Past a natural thud harbour, it is a cooperative fishing dock. Extinct the before decade, Boscastle has suffered a put together of devastating floods, but you would never know it now by looking at its mysterious buildings and attractive shops. One of Boscastle's central tourist attractions is the Museum of Witchcraft located exhibition off its central respect.

Once upon a time you earth at the Museum, show is a sign directing you to lay down your broom in the space provided. Exceedingly cute!

Into the Museum are two floors of to the letter packed exhibits on all kinds of witchy, occult matters. Once upon a time visiting this Museum, it's vital to ambit two things in mind:

(1) This is not a professionally curated museum. It is a labour of love by those who are strong to witchcraft. There's a real pang that you grasp exhibition entered "collectors' heaven" with eclectic exhibits all cheek-by-jowl with each other. Sometimes there's not bounty information about what you're looking at. Sometimes there's too far off. But we were charmed by far off of what we saw and found almost everything interesting.

(2) This is very far off a museum of "BRITISH" witchcraft. It focuses on careful, practical folklore, superstitions and traditions of England and Cornwall. So show are masses of exhibits on poppets, curses, herbology, poisons, prosperity symbols, etc. This is record really NOT a museum about modern Wicca or today's pagan wage war as trained in North America. Approaching everything in the Museum predates the 1960s (at the very topical).

In the nearby two posts, I'll inform you about the exhibits which we found record captivating.
