According to a myth that dates back to medieval times, every Maundy Thursday, the Witches takes their brooms and fly to Blåkulla for a gathering. These days kids (both boys and girls), often dress up as Easter Witches, wearing a dress with an apron and a headscarf. Their mission is to gather candy. Unfortunately for these three witches, Sara, Malin and Lisa, that I met in Tungelsta yesterday, I didn't have any candy, so instead they gave some chocolate! Happy Easter Girls!
I chanced on your blog and really like all the portraits and the stories you tell a bout the individuals. Neat idea...a great pictures.
ReplyDeletePretty cute...I've not heard of that tradition.
ReplyDeleteWell, I've heard of witches; even met a few...
I like this kind better.
Learn something new every day. They look like they are having fun. How cute.
ReplyDeleteI like to be surprised every morning by your charachters and stories. You have devised a wise and funny way to show us your place.
ReplyDeleteI even dressed up like this myself when I was a kid! Together with my brother and cousins. Glad you all seem to like the portraits, because there are more portraits and stories to come.
ReplyDeleteI haven't known about such tradition, thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting Seguin, Steffe. :)
What an interesting custom! It's new to me.
ReplyDeleteI met another witch yesterday, her name is Anna and she works at my local grocery store. She is a bit older than these witches, but equally pretty of course!
ReplyDeleteEverything about this photo made me think of Turkey! The colour palette, the blue road sign, the slightly unkempt road appearance, the rosy-cheeked girl on the lft, and the way their scarves are tied! Exept of course, Easter eggs.
