The Bewitching Collection of The Museum of Witchcraft & Magic

The Museum of Witchcraft & Magic can be found by the harbour in Boscastle, a picturesque village in Cornwall. It was created by Cecil Williamson in 1951, who had a lifelong interest in the occult, and originally opened the museum in Castletown, Isle of Man. The museum eventually settled in Boscastle in 1960 and at the time offered visitors a strange mix of displays and tableaux mixed with a rare selection of West Country objects.

The Boscastle location wasn’t chosen by chance, rather Cecil felt it was steeped in ancient magic with the spirit world remaining close for centuries. In the past, he said: “Three miles aways from this spot you can find a prehistoric maze carved into a living rock face, proof that from ancient times man and his magic making were active in this area.”

The Museum of Witchcraft and Magic, is the world’s oldest and largest collection of items relating to witchcraft, magic and the occult with over 3,000 otherworldly objects and over 7,000 books. Simon Costin is the museum’s current director and has overseen the running of the museum since 2013. Simon’s relationship with the museum started back in 2004 after flash floods hit Boscastle damaging the museum. He found himself watching the devastation back in London. “I had known of the museum for many years, but it had always seemed too remote reach,” Simon says. After getting in touch with the then owner, Graham King, Simon was a go-between with the Geology Museum in London which was decommissioning old mahogany display cases and arranged for them to be donated to the museum. “Graham asked if I would become the new owner and custodian in 2012 and in 2013 documents were signed on October 31st,” a spookily fitting date.

Maybe it’s the black background, but the feathery ring above has an eerie vibe to it. A ghirlanda—Italian for garland—like this one would have smelled “extremely nasty,” at least at first, according to one report. Woven among the feathers, there would be bone, hair, even old teeth, and it had a sinister purpose. Hidden in a person’s bed, it was supposed to cause them to fall ill and die. “Everyone believed I had bought the ghirlanda in order to get rid of my husband!” wrote an English historian living in Italy, in a letter to a friend who’d asked her to procure one—purely for research. (Or so the friend said.)

The ghirlanda above is just one of the objects associated with magic and witchcraft featured in a new exhibit, called Spellbound, at the University of Oxford’s Ashmolean Museum, which is dedicated to art and archaeology. The aim, according to the museum, is to “show how, even in this skeptical age, we still use magical thinking.” Astrology is such a booming trend right now that almost seems self-evident. The magic of the past, though, could be a bit more gruesome.
