As summer wanes and the nights grow long, we turn to tales of witches, curses, and the old ways that never truly died. For centuries, harvest time has carried its own magic: charms for fields, blessings for homes, and darker stories of those who bent nature to their will.
This September, we step into that threshold where folklore meets fear. From ancient curses to infamous trials, from haunted ground to witches said still to walk among us… welcome to the Season of the Witch.
Stockholm’s 1676 panic put 21-year-old maid “Dufvans Margareta” at the center of the Katarina witch trials—coerced into a lurid confession about Blåkulla, then recanting, and finally spared when child witnesses broke down and admitted they’d lied. Her case helped snap Sweden out of Det Stora Oväsendet (“the Great Noise”), ending the country’s last great witch-hunt.
