Witches and Warlocks of Massachusetts: Legends, Victims, and Sinister Spellcasters (Paperback)
Witches and Warlocks of Massachusetts is a collection of legends and historical accounts about witches and warlocks from the Bay State. Organized by region, city and town, the book's dozens of stories include the earliest Puritan accounts of 17th century witches, urban legends about desolate locations haunted by ghostly witch hunt victims, tales of Cape Cod sailors battling witches, and other stories of sinister (and sometimes sympathetic) spellcasters.
Massachusetts has a rich history of witchcraft that spans nearly four centuries. Most people are aware of the Salem witch trials but fewer know about the Dogtown witches, the Pepperell farmer who hired a hypnotist to save his bewitched daughter, or Half-Hanged Mary, the witch who died twice and inspired The Handmaid's Tale. These stories are known locally in the towns where they occurred but have never been collected into one book before.

The Witch of Endor wasn’t necessarily malevolent, but the fate she spoke of was not one to be ignored. As the story goes, King Saul went to the Witch of Endor for answers about how to defeat the Philistines. The Witch then summoned the ghost of the prophet Samuel—who didn’t tell him how to defeat the Philistines—but prophesied that he would be defeated and join his three sons in the afterlife. Saul, who is wounded the next day in the battle, kills himself out of fear. And while the Witch didn’t technically make Saul kill himself, she was certainly an accessory.
Other accessories such as a broomstick, a potion bottle, or a crystal ball can be carried to enhance the magical aura. Makeup plays an important role in achieving the mystic witch appearance. Pale or greenish foundation can be applied to create a ghostly complexion. Dark and smoky eyeshadow, along with eyeliner and mascara, can emphasize the eyes and create a spellbinding gaze. A deep red or purple lipstick can add a touch of elegance and mystery. Hairstyling for a mystic witch costume can be versatile. Long, flowing hair can be left loose for a more ethereal look, while an updo or braided hairstyle can lend an air of sophistication. Hair accessories, such as feathers, flowers, or decorative hairpins, can also be used to further enhance the costume. Overall, a mystic witch costume allows for creativity and personalization. It is a chance to embrace the magical and mysterious aspects of the witch archetype. Whether going for a traditional or more modern interpretation, a mystic witch costume is sure to captivate and mesmerize others..
Reviews for "From Salem to Runways: The Evolution of Mystic Witch Costumes"
- Sarah - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with the Mystic witch costume. The quality of the materials was extremely cheap and it felt like it would fall apart any minute. The fit was also way off and didn't match the size chart provided. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this costume to anyone.
- Jack - 1/5 - This Mystic witch costume was a complete waste of money. The design looked nothing like the picture online and the colors were way off. The fabric felt scratchy and uncomfortable and the stitching was poorly done. It's definitely not worth the price they are charging for it.
- Emily - 3/5 - While the Mystic witch costume wasn't terrible, it definitely didn't live up to my expectations. The quality was average, but the sizing was way off. The costume was too tight in some areas and too loose in others. I struggled to find a comfortable fit. If you're willing to put in some alterations, it might work, but I wouldn't recommend it for those looking for a quick and easy costume.
