The Boscastle Museum of Witchcraft.

Sun in Aquarius, Moon in Scorpio, Last 1/4 Moon

Last June, Husband and I went on an adventure. 

We found ourselves in the very beautiful, take your breathe away, make you cry, amazible English countryside - yes it is THAT green! Yes the tea tastes better over there! Yes magic abounded in every stone and ancient oak. We had so many adventures in the Cornish countryside, hunting out ancient stone circles and sacred wells and each day i found myself in tears at the shear beauty and my connection i felt to the beautiful land - it was like the place of fairytales.

One very cool place we got to visit was a Museum in Boscastle dedicated to Witchcraft. I found a flier at a touristy place and it had some things about witch trials on it and i thought the place was going to be a gaudy, embarrassing shemozzle but i was still drawn to check it out. 

So after visiting Merlin's Caves and the Tintagel, Arthurian castle ruins we were off to Boscastle. The minute i turned the corner and saw the outside of the building my jaw dropped - this place was REAL. A carving of the Green Man adorned the front of the building and the whole place felt AMAZING - 'Oh my!' I cried. 

The museum was filled with a fascinating collection of witchcraft and Wiccan artifacts, it was so amazing to have such an eclectic display of treasures in the one place. I think i could have spent a whole month in there reading every plaque and looking at all the amazing things. Oh my goodness i was in witchy heaven! 

A CD playing beautiful chanting music filled the first room and everywhere the eyes could wander was something grabbing your attention, oh my goodness it was full to the very, very brim. I wished my witchy sisters were there to share the wonder and magic with me and that we weren't in such a rush to get to our next destination so that i could spend the full day i think i would have needed to absorb it all! Amazing! Girls lets organise a witchy adventure here!



It wasn't till later that i realised i didn't have a photo of the front of the Museum, this picture is from TripAdvisor
