Boscastle is best known for the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic, which was founded by Cecil Williamson. Over the years, the museum has been owned by several notable practitioners and authors, including Graham King and now Simon Costin. Each has contributed to the museum’s impr...
Sigils
The use of symbols for magical or occult purposes has been widespread since the Neolithic era. The term sigil derives from the Latin word sigillum meaning seal. Sigils are a type of symbol used in ritual magic like a pentagram that is drawn or painted on a wall, ceiling or floor to offer either protection or a short cut to particular spell work; they are also used as messages or warning to others....
Spell Work/ An Opinion
Stepping into the world of witchcraft isn’t as simple as picking up a spellbook and diving right in. It requires patience, study, and an understanding that there are guiding principles and boundaries to respect. Many beginners assume that reading a few articles or grabbing a book instantly makes them a witch. But imagine if you tried to learn to swim just by reading about it—how long would you las...
Necromancy
Necromancy is believed by some to be the darkest of all the black arts, where witches and alike are able to communicate with the recently departed or by summoning spirits and even resurrecting the dead for evil purposes, but necromancy isn’t as dark as you may think, it is also a form of divination where the diviner will ask the dead questions to obtain information for a loved one, to for tell fut...
Protection from Entities or Spirits
Witchcraft is as I have said many times before not a game and should not be taken lightly. I have read on other posts that some “witches” are asking for some form of protection as they believe that they are either being attacked or haunted by an entity or a sprit. I will let you into a secret here, and that there is no protection. If you are one of these said people then you should think of yourse...

Cursed Objects
Everything in our know universe is made from either matter or energy, in witchcraft energy can be bestowed on an object, and if that energy is negative and prolonged enough like hate then the will and intent of the witch can be imprinted on an object and cursing it. As I have said in the past curses on people cannot be broken unless broken by the witch who cursed you, cursed objects on the other h...
Cursing Someone
If you are here thinking that I will tell you how to curse someone then I’m afraid that you are on the wrong page as that would be irresponsible, this short note is to make you think about your actions before you do something that you may soon regret. Putting a curse on somebody is by far the hardest thing a witch can do to someone, as most if not all true witches are extremely magnanimous and wil...
Binding Magic
Binding magic, spells or rituals have been used throughout time for positive, negative and even selfish reasons; they were used by the early Romans to stop theft, attraction and love. The ancient Greeks first used binding magic which they called katadesmos, these were found on either curse or spell tablets made from parchment or engraved into clay and were used in sporting events to ensure victory...
Covens
A coven is typically a group or circle of witches regardless of gender, so a coven can be mixture of both men and women alike. Just in case you don’t know a male with is still a witch and not a warlock, a warlock is a witch that has fallen out of there coven know as an oath breaker. There is no correct number of people to make up a coven you may have as many or as few as you like, although some wi...
Evoking Invisible Forces
There are still many witches out there that believe that you can only perform spells, & magic by commanding or evoking invisible forces to which only come to you by performing secret incantations or ceremonies, maybe even speaking in Latin and dressing up in dark robes under a full moon in the middle of some dark and dingy woods while freezing your nipples off, to which only your high priest o...
