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.
“Outer beauty attracts, but inner beauty captivates.” (Kate Angell)
It is this captivating power that makes mirrors objects of fascination and superstition throughout history and across cultures. In folklore and mythology, mirrors have been associated with divination, the ability to see into the future or communicate with the spirits. They have been used in rituals and ceremonies, believed to harness the magic within our souls and connect us to higher realms. But this enchantment can also be unsettling, for the mirror's power is not bound by our control. It can reveal truths we may not be ready to confront, showing us our flaws and insecurities. It can penetrate the depths of our subconscious, bringing to the surface suppressed memories and unresolved traumas. The mirror becomes a mirror to our souls, laying bare our vulnerabilities and forcing us to confront our true selves. So next time you find yourself captivated by the bewitching magic emanating from a mirror, take a moment to ponder its power. It is a symbol of our deepest desires, our hidden fears, and our unexplored potential. It is a reminder that there is more to this world than what meets the eye, and that sometimes, we must become lost in the enchantment to find ourselves..
