Lullabies are a unique and timeless genre of music that have been cherished for centuries. They serve as a form of comfort, soothing us to sleep and easing our worries. While lullabies are typically associated with nurturing and motherly love, there is a lesser-known aspect that intertwines friendship and witchcraft into these melodies. Friendship is an essential theme in many lullabies, which can be seen in the lyrics that speak of companionship and support. These songs often depict friends standing by each other through thick and thin, providing solace and comfort during challenging times. Friendships formed in lullabies have a magical quality as they remind us of the significant bonds we share with our loved ones.
You think you own whatever land you land on
The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name
I think there may be a happy medium with the tune and some creative rewriting to keep some of the original lyrics and create new lyrics to replace ones that need the context of the movie to make sense. It was enough to make me forget or at least, not care that I was an outsider, a curi osity who left whispers in my wake when I walked through the muddy streets of our coastal town.
Friendships formed in lullabies have a magical quality as they remind us of the significant bonds we share with our loved ones. Witchcraft, on the other hand, may seem like an unexpected inclusion in lullabies. However, it adds an element of enchantment and whimsy to these melodies.
A Lullaby for Witches
Once there was a young woman from a well-to-do New England family who never quite fit with the drawing rooms and parlors of her kin.
Called instead to the tangled woods and wild cliffs surrounding her family’s estate, Margaret Harlowe grew both stranger and more beautiful as she cultivated her uncanny power. Soon, whispers of “witch” dogged her footsteps, and Margaret’s power began to wind itself with the tendrils of something darker.
One hundred and fifty years later, Augusta Podos takes a dream job at Harlowe House, the historic home of a wealthy New England family that has been turned into a small museum in Tynemouth, Massachusetts. When Augusta stumbles across an oblique reference to a daughter of the Harlowes who has nearly been expunged from the historical record, the mystery is too intriguing to ignore.
But as she digs deeper, something sinister unfurls from its sleep, a dark power that binds one woman to the other across lines of blood and time. If Augusta can’t resist its allure, everything she knows and loves—including her very life—could be lost forever.

That became her lullaby. I sang it to her almost every day. Then she started talking and we didn’t need a song anymore. We were having conversations with a back and forth and I didn’t need the musical filler to take up the silence in the room.

In lullabies, witchcraft can represent the ability to overcome obstacles and protect loved ones, giving the songs a touch of fantasy and wonder. The combination of friendship and witchcraft in lullabies creates a fascinating blend of emotions and themes. These songs remind us of the power of friendship in providing comfort and support and also spark our imagination with elements of magic and enchantment. When we listen to lullabies, we are transported to a world where friendship and witchcraft converge, creating an atmosphere of warmth and fascination. So as we drift off to sleep, let us embrace the lullabies that weave together friendship and witchcraft, whispering their soothing melodies into our dreams..
