Checkout our Halloween events!!!

We have a selection of spellbinding events you can attend during Halloween week to bring a bit of magic and entertainment to what is known as the Season of the Witch!

WITCH? Women on Trial Fringe Show. Be prepared to laugh and cry as you gain a shocking insight into the untold stories of ordinary women caught up in a whirlwind of politics, religion and magic. 'Brilliant and illuminating'

Added to the museum is Gerald Gardner's Museum pamphlet, signed by the man himself, a brass cauldron and postcards which you could purchase at the gift shop. Gardner ran the Museum of Magic and Witchcraft known as the Witches' Mill between 1954-1964 in Castletown, Isle of Man.

We are pleased to now have on display a piece of the @witches.of.scotland memorial tartan in our museum. We were also gifted a copy of Zoe and Claire's recent book 'How to kill a Witch'. We will be selling copies of the book very soon in our gift shop.

NEW EXHIBIT COMING! The Man of the Beast 666: The Magic and Legacy of Aleister Crowley Saturday 17th May 2025 Come to the museum and see our new upcoming exhibit about Aleister Crowley, his legacy in occultism, Thelema tradition and the people who were influenced by him in the magical world.

Today is National Women's Day and this year we honour Lilias Adie. She was accused of practising witchcraft but died in prison before a sentence could be passed. Her intertidal grave is the only known one in Scotland of an accused witch – most were burned.

FORTUNE-TELLER BOARD So one of the interesting and popular items in the museum to visitors is this 1976 Fortune Telling Poster which belongs to Romi Gypsy Roselee who held a wee space on Blackpool's promenade during the mid-1970s.

New official tartan has been confirmed for the Accused Witches of Scotland

In light of Burns Night, I thought I would share this artifact that's a part of the museum's collection. It is a Victorian chamber jug with scenes from Robert Burns (Rabbie Burns) witchy poem 'Tam o' Shanter' with the witches chasing after Tam. I hope you all have a merry Burns night!
