According to a Flemish folktale, there was a woman who claimed she was afraid of nothing. One night, she went to a graveyard for she preferred to collect bones rather than pick flowers. As she reached for them, a voice suddenly spoke 'Don't touch me. Those are my bones.'

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported our Kickstarter! We are 45% funded and have thirteen days left. It is daunting, but every message, every share, every person who believes in these forgotten stories means so much.

There's a new witchy tale here:

According to a Flemish folktale, people went on pilgrimages and visited monks to make a witch give up her powers. Their attempts were fruitless. She remained a witch and cursed the houses of those who had wanted to change her.

If you like witches, consider backing our project kck.st/492NqKt 🌙🖤

In Flanders, people stayed away from a forest because a witch lived there in a hut made of blackberry bushes.

She vanished, and so did her hut, and eventually the forest.

If you would like know what became of her, there's something on Kickstarter we would love you to know about ✨ kck.st/492NqKt

Illustration by Arthur Rakcham. A lady walking in the woods. Quite dark and she seems to be scared.

In a Flemish folktale, a fearless man once thought he could chase away witches with a cudgel. The witches had other plans.
