Witch bells, also known as witch's bells, are commonly associated with folklore and magic. These bells are believed to have originated from various cultures and traditions, each with their unique interpretations and uses. In some cultures, witch bells are used as protective talismans. They are believed to ward off evil spirits, negative energy, and malevolent beings. The sound of the bells is said to have the ability to repel or disorient these negative forces, keeping them away from the person or place where the bells are hung or worn. In other cultures, witch bells are used as a form of divination or magical communication.
Anyway, this brilliant video does a great job of highlighting the situation I have been referring to. If you believe in magic coffee-tables, magic laundry baskets, magic bin emptying fairies or any other household miracles or domestic magical occurrences – please feel free to ask questions and I will try to “enlighten” you.
They seemed to believe in the magic dish-washing fairy, the magic toilet roll stocker-upper fairy, the magic fridge shelf wiping and mouldy food disposing fairy, the magic picking clothes up off the floor fairy the list goes on and on.

Explaining The Magic Bin Emptying Fairy
In a few of my previous posts I have mentioned former single male flatmates who seemed to believe in “the magic bin emptying fairy”. It seems I have caused a little confusion by using this term.
Well, some bloggers understood immediately what I was talking about, whereas others seemed puzzled. So I am going to try to explain to clear up any confusion that lingers.
There are those flatmates, house-mates, even members of one’s own family or household who seem unawares of a supreme truth. Someone, and by that I mean a human, not a fairy (often a woman, but there are some exceptional men) is actually behind what may seem miraculous or magical.
For example, Ella and and I were the ones who emptied the bins in our flat. In addition to emptying the bin, we wiped the bin, the walls and the floor surrounding the bin. The male residents of our flat seemed to go to further extremes each week in their carelessness. Coffee granules, tea-splashes, sauce stains and unidentifiable substances were smeared all over the walls, floor and the bin itself.
Now the boys…well, they never thanked us, they never thought to help by emptying the bin themselves. If Ella and I were away, we would come back and discover the bin was literally over-flowing. Ella tried to “enlighten” the boys…but they obviously were convinced that they had been specially chosen by “the magic bin-fairy”, whereas Ella and I had not been favoured by her.
It was not just emptying bins. They seemed to believe in the magic dish-washing fairy, the magic toilet roll stocker-upper fairy, the magic fridge shelf wiping and mouldy food disposing fairy, the magic picking clothes up off the floor fairy…the list goes on and on!
I have laughed about it with Goldfinch. He has two new house-mates at the moment who are clearly not particularly domesticated.
He showed me this video, of an Australian comedian who highlights this belief I have been referring to – there is a swear word at one point. I like my site to be suitable for all ages, but this video…if you are under I don’t know which age, but just to mention it contains one swear word, just in case you are like me and feel shocked when you hear bad language.

The origin of witch bells can be traced back to ancient times. Bells have long been associated with magical and spiritual practices, and their use can be found in various cultures around the world. The exact origin of witch bells is difficult to determine, as their use and symbolism have evolved over time. In some traditions, the use of bells in magical rituals predates the label of "witch bells." For example, in ancient China, bells were used in ceremonies and rituals to create harmony, drive away evil spirits, and bring good luck. In ancient Rome, small bells were used during religious ceremonies and rites as a means of purifying the environment and invoking the presence of the gods. In modern witchcraft and occult practices, the use of witch bells has become popular. They are often incorporated into spells, rituals, and protective charm bags. The bells may be used to mark the beginning or end of a ritual, to invoke specific energies or spirits, or simply to create a sacred atmosphere. The specific symbolism and meaning behind witch bells may vary depending on the individual practitioner or tradition. Some may view them as instruments of protection and spiritual guidance, while others may see them as tools for communication and divination. Regardless of their origin, witch bells continue to be used by many today as part of their magical and spiritual practices. As with any symbolic object, their power lies in the beliefs and intentions of the individual using them. Whether worn as jewelry, hung in doorways, or used in rituals, witch bells carry a rich history and continue to hold significance in various magical traditions..
