The Witch of Howling Creek

Thanks for your interest in my popular post of all time! For brand new ideas to satisfy the witch in all of us… visit my current blog, The Witch of Lupine Hollow.

A lot of books these days will insist that witches don’t really live in whimsical cottages and fairytale houses. And… it’s true. Most of us live in modern, everyday homes in cities, towns and the suburbs. But one of our most powerful tools is our imagination and the whimsical cottages and fairytale houses are an inspiration to many of us. So bring a little bit of that spirit into your home with these tips:

1. Many witches have a deep connection to the pentacle but may not want to display it prominently in their homes or yards because of stigma. But one thing that is often forgotten: the pentacle is really just a star, an image readily available in home décor! Gift and even craft stores almost always have wall-hangings, throws, pictures and trinkets featuring five-pointed stars you can proudly have in your home, no matter who may visit.
2. Tie bundles of herbs together and hang them upside down in the kitchen, dining area or even the bedroom. It is appropriately witchy, attractive decoration and practical.
3. Even if you don’t have a greenhouse or conservatory, you can still achieve the look by surrounding windows by plants. Line the sill, place larger plants on the floor and hang ivy or spider plants from the ceiling. Greenery is always good to have around in a witch’s house and you can even grow plants that will protect you or be useful in spells.
4. Tea-dye a sheet of labels and handwrite the names of your herbs and spices so you can proudly display your neat, organized collection on a shelf or the counter in the kitchen.
5. The creaky wrought-iron gate is a part of just about every witches’ manor and even if you don’t have the space for one in your yard, you can easily incorporate it into your indoor decorations. Gates are relatively easy to find at antique stores and flea markets and simple to fix up with sandpaper and spray paint (or, of course, you can leave it rusty and well-loved, just the way it is!) Hang it on a wall in your entry or living room with a ‘Black Hat Society’, ‘Blessed Be’ or other witchy sign.
6. Candles, of course, are an obvious choice for a witchy haven but other lights such as hurricane lamps are just as appropriate. These can be picked up at antique stores and flea markets as well, although you very well may be able to find some in your own attic.
7. Line old books up on a shelf or on top of a desk, alongside drippy candles and antique knick-knacks. The simplest vignette can help you achieve the magickal look you are going for.
8. Quite possibly the most important way for pagans to decorate is with the seasons. Create and bless wreaths for each season to hang on your door, collect items from nature to display in your home and rotate a seasonal color scheme against a neutral backdrop (i.e. light sage green walls with colorful pillows and throws.)
9. Take your cues from a Gothic, Victorian feel and go all out with crimson walls, black drapes, curios filled with both black and white photos and jars of spell ingredients, not to mention beautiful Waterhouse prints. To keep it a little less intimidating for your guests, this heavy-handed theme is perhaps best reserved for the master bedroom where a sense of extravagance and luxury is often more welcomed than elsewhere in the house.
10. Last, but certainly not least, don’t forget your broom! Whether it be the besom you actually use for magick or just a simply house broom, it is an important part of witchy decorating. Some people like to bless and hang it over the front door or set beside it. Others like to keep it near the fireplace/hearth and still others prefer it in the kitchen. No matter where you keep it, it will be most special if you can make it yourself or at the very least, decorate it with ribbons and herbs.

Good luck and let me know if you have any questions or thoughts to add to this – this is one of my favorite witchy subjects!

Reviews for "The AMC Witch Documentary: Revealing the Truth about Witchcraft"

1. John - 1/5

I found the "Amc Witch Documentary" to be incredibly underwhelming and uninformative. The documentary lacked any substantial evidence or interviews with experts in the field, making it feel more like a cheap and poorly researched piece of entertainment rather than a genuine attempt to explore the topic. The narration was also dull and uninspiring, failing to engage viewers and keep their attention. Overall, I would not recommend wasting your time on this documentary if you are looking to gain a deeper understanding of witchcraft.

2. Sarah - 2/5

While the "Amc Witch Documentary" had the potential to be an intriguing exploration of witchcraft, it ultimately fell short in delivering any meaningful insights. The documentary seemed more focused on sensationalizing and perpetuating stereotypes about witches, rather than providing an objective and balanced view of the subject. I was disappointed to see that it relied heavily on dramatic reenactments rather than featuring experts or practitioners who could shed light on the real beliefs and practices of witches. It lacked depth and failed to offer any new or groundbreaking information.

3. Emily - 1/5

As someone who has a genuine interest in witchcraft, I was extremely disappointed by the "Amc Witch Documentary." It was clear that the documentary makers prioritized creating sensational content over providing accurate and balanced information. The portrayal of witches was overly exaggerated and portrayed them as purely evil and malevolent beings, without taking into account the historical and cultural nuances associated with witchcraft. This kind of portrayal only perpetuates harmful stereotypes and does a disservice to those who have a genuine interest in understanding the beliefs and practices of witchcraft. I would not recommend wasting your time on this shallow and misinformed documentary.

4. Michael - 2/5

While the "Amc Witch Documentary" had an interesting premise and potential, it ultimately failed to deliver a coherent and informative narrative. The documentary shifted between different aspects of witchcraft without providing any depth or analysis, leaving the viewer feeling unsatisfied and confused. The lack of expert commentary or interviews with practitioners made it difficult to trust the information presented in the documentary, which was already scarce and poorly researched. Overall, it was a missed opportunity to delve into a fascinating topic with a more critical and insightful lens.
