Though there are far more scolding environments than Vermont, our summers do get pretty humid, and the upper floors of an old house easily turn into ovens. Gables didn t often leave rooms for traditional sized windows and poor farmers didn t want to spend the money on drafty dormers or getting a custom window made which was a costly purchase many families couldn t afford.

One of my favorite pieces of Obscure Vermont is a mixture of architectural vernacular, and good old fashioned Yankee Ingenuity.
Do you see the diagonally tilted window placed in the gable end of this old farmhouse with its long edge parallel to the roof? A lot of people, Vermonters or flatlanders, seem to be flummoxed about these peculiarly slanted windows. That’s because their orientational existence isn’t found in any other states (though someone did tell me that they think they saw one somewhere in New Hampshire not too long ago.) To add a bit more rapturous froth to the isolated mystery, our Vermont parlance labels them “coffin windows”, or sometimes “witch windows”, depending on who you are I guess. Growing up, my mother would always point them out as “coffin windows” whenever we would take a trip out of suburban Chittenden County to more rural parts of the state, where older structures far outnumbered the new. I wasn’t introduced to “witch windows” until much later.
The e tymology behind the monikers vary, and can’t really be traced back to a materialized point of origin.
Going alphabetically – it’s said these are called coffin windows because if a family member died upstairs, it was far easier to maneuver the needed coffin out the window and slide it down the roof as opposed to figuring out just how to haul it down a steep and narrow Vermont farmhouse staircase. And trust me, some of them are very steep and narrow to a point of over-cautiousness when walking up or down one – enough for me to sympathize with anyone who would groan at the prospect of dragging anything up or down them.
The name witch window gets a bit more on the superstitious side. It’s said that an old belief was that a witch couldn’t enter your dwelling through a crooked window or opening. A similar superstition that comes to mind is how the ancient Chinese thought bad spirits traveled in straight lines, so their architecture took on steeply peaked rooflines.
I know old Vermonters were a superstitious bunch. Our collective state history and folklore include such grim things as incriminating real people accused of Vampirism, or desecrating the graves of dead people accused of postmortem vampirism (our most famous Vampire execution was a man named Corwin, whose remains still loam underneath Woodstock’s boat shaped town green).
But witches? There isn’t much known on how scared Vermonters were of witches, leaving this as intriguing speculation. However, I was able to dig up a small number of succinct accounts in old state newspapers around the late 1700s and early 1800s of various Vermonters who locals suspected were witches, but in reality were probably nothing more than eccentrics living in a more narrow-minded time. One article amusingly reported that a Stowe woman was blamed for making several farmers’ milk cows run dry.
A more practical theory and probably the most likely of the three, was that these windows were a creative solution to let light into the cramped spaces upstairs. Gables didn’t often leave rooms for traditional sized windows and poor farmers didn’t want to spend the money on drafty dormers or getting a custom window made – which was a costly purchase many families couldn’t afford. They also enabled fresh air and ventilation to keep the house inhabitable. Though there are far more scolding environments than Vermont, our summers do get pretty humid, and the upper floors of an old house easily turn into ovens.
Further down the line, these windows adopted yet another sobriquet with less dour and more civic pride; Vermont Windows. Though I haven’t heard that term nearly as much as the afore-referenced other two.
In a world that loves things to fall into human-made symmetry, who knew that a window installed at a tilt could conjure up so many declaratory ideologies.
It seems that these windows have a bit of cool fanfare behind them, apart from your blogger. Some cool individual even made an Instagram account dedicated to them!
Route 100 in South Duxbury Found one in this abandoned farmhouse I was exploring. East Calais Calais Calais South Woodbury village South Woodbury village South Woodbury village South Woodbury village Peacham Turkey Hill in Northfield. Warren village Warren Village Cornwall DOUBLE coffin/witch windows in Stowe! I guess these folks didn’t want to take any chances just in case a pesky witch decided to curse them.
Any of you folks know of a coffin window near you? Let me know! I love road tripping around Vermont, and I always make excuses to shunpike somewhere!

Another option is to look for pagan or witchcraft festivals in your region. These events often have vendors selling various witchcraft supplies, as well as workshops and lectures on different aspects of the craft. Attending these festivals can be a great way to connect with the pagan community and discover new tools and resources. If you're unable to find local stores or events, online shopping is always an option. Many online retailers offer a wide selection of witchcraft supplies, allowing you to browse and purchase items from the comfort of your home. Just be sure to research the seller and read reviews to ensure you're getting quality products. Additionally, don't underestimate the power of nature itself.

Taking nature walks or exploring local parks can provide you with beautiful and powerful supplies for your craft. In conclusion, while finding witchcraft supplies near you might require a bit of searching, there are various avenues to explore. Local metaphysical stores, pagan festivals, and online retailers can all offer a range of tools and materials to support your spiritual practice.

Reviews for "Unlocking Your Inner Witch: Witchcraft Supplies Made Accessible"
Review 1:
- Sara - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the selection at Witchcraft Supplies Near Me. The store was cramped and messy, and it seemed like they were just selling cheap knick-knacks instead of authentic witchcraft supplies. I was hoping to find some high-quality herbs and crystals, but what I found were dusty shelves filled with trinkets that looked like they had been picked up from a discount store. I ended up leaving empty-handed and would not recommend this store to serious practitioners.
Review 2:
- Mike - 1 star - I had a terrible experience at Witchcraft Supplies Near Me. The staff was extremely rude and unhelpful. When I asked for their recommendations on which herbs to use for a specific spell, they shrugged and said they didn't know. It's really frustrating when you go to a specialized store and the employees have no knowledge or passion for what they are selling. Additionally, the prices were exorbitant for what they were offering. I found much better quality products at other stores for half the price. Save your time and money and go somewhere else.
Review 3:
- Jessica - 2 stars - Witchcraft Supplies Near Me was a huge letdown for me. The store had such a limited selection of items, and the items they did have were overpriced. I was really hoping to find some unique and hard-to-come-by supplies, but it felt like I was walking into a generic gift shop instead. The atmosphere was also underwhelming, with no effort put into creating an inviting and mystical ambiance. Overall, I was unimpressed with my experience at Witchcraft Supplies Near Me and won't be returning.
