I came to Cornwall for my 50th. It was mainly to come to the museum. It was amazing. I bought the hand of glory which stands proudly in my front room. Great video thanks
Victoria, this documentary is moving, and I can scarcely believe my good fortune in finding it! I am a solitary practitioner in Chattanooga, TN. I have know of the Museum in Cornwall for some time, but this! Thank you for this moving record of the beauty, courage, and wisdom of these Witches of Cornwall.
Both my gradfather were in ww1 , they did make things out of ordinance shells. Like lighters, covers for matchboxes out of buttons and bullets, vases out of howizer shells and many other things. They were artizans and sappers in the royal engineers. My grandmother used to read tea leaves, for people too.
A long, long time ago when I was in high school a classmate told me that I had a witch's nose. I wasn't sure if he was trying to insult me or just offering an observation on my appearance and I just shrugged it off, but a few months ago I found out that my grandfather's maternal line is from Cornwall.
I think one of the challenges re communicating exactly what paganism or witchcraft is are some of the visual conflicts that are sometimes seen, not always or everywhere though. These are shown really well in the images and artefacts inside the museum. People practicing witchcraft will explain that it has nothing to do with satanism or the devil, but then the witchcraft museum has numerous images of the devil or other similar likenesse,s as well as artefects that were clearly produced in a negative and unpleasant way. I understand that folklore magic isn't always hearts and flowers and it can be preventative, protective, even hindering or cursing but I don't feel that some of the imagery convey the balance of what it was and what it wasn't. I found my visit to the museum to be unsettling - and that's not a feeling I would normally have around these types of situations - the artefacts to be pretty creepy and that they left me with a feeling of sadness and foreboding. Is that the perception of magic that's reality? Even historically? Just some observations and questions
I went as a little girl and was not wary of the place but quite curious. As I moved through the museum, which was not as elaborate as it is now. I became increasingly unsettled. I had to get out of the museum as fast as possible. I was overcome with such a fear. I am psychic and I have been since I was very young. There are many things in the museum that are imbued with energy. There are many things that can't be explained easily. i felt haunted for a week or so after.
‘We aren’t encouraging anyone to practice witchcraft’, but yet again I don’t think they need to. I went to the Cornish museum and now I’ve fallen down a witchcraft rabbit hole 🤣.
This is great!! Thanks for posting. I think you are being far too polite in suggesting "some people" didn't understand. It was Christians and they tried to destroy pagan beliefs, ways, and music. With some luck and a bit of magic, some of the old ways survived. Lest any Christian doubt it, note the religious symbol they have about their neck (curious placement for their talisman, near the heart) and their incantation, "in Jesus' name." And they say our ways are superstitious and their ways are not.
I found this really interesting... until it showed a ducking chair and a scolds bridle... hopefully the museum explains that they have nothing to do with witchcraft and are just punishments for loud and obnoxious people (men as well as women).

a GEM from the past in the digital-age....must be preserved for future-Generations.
A truly magical experience. A trip to Cornwall is not
complete without visiting the Witchcraft museum!
Hope to visit here one day. ⭐️

Nice one. Thank you for the time & effort. Love from Galicia.
I love your video of Boscastle . It was so magical .
I used to live in Boscastle - stunning part of the UK for sure
lovely
Great job. So glad to see you posting again!
Fabulous
What a beautiful place, what a nice storie and what a good post/video......
Well done. Glad you are posting videos again.
Well done, really liked the shots of the buildings. Magic has lost the power it once had, though it may return in the future.
It is returning.
It never lost its power and it never went away.

Very interesting. I actually was planning on taking my wife to tour England in a year or so and this might be a nice place to visit. Thanks.

Hey Victoria, how have you been? Hope you are keeping busy.

They’re all great, but Joyce! You’re a cutie…😍
I was a midwife there in the 90s
You sound unaware of academic esotericism! Have you removed the goat's head from the manikin?
