    SEASON OF THE WITCH : Trasmoz: The Cursed Village of Witches

    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. Trasmoz, a tiny village in Aragón, is the only town in Spain ever excommunicated and cursed by the Catholic Church. From counterfeiters who spread tales of witches to a Papal curse in 1511 and the murder of Tía Casca, its eerie legacy still lingers today.

    SEASON OF THE WITCH : The Witches of Catemaco | Veracruz’s Brujería Capital

    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. At Lake Catemaco, indigenous shamanism, Afro-Caribbean rites, and folk-Catholic curanderismo fuse into a living tradition of healers and sorcerers. From humble limpias to infamous First-Friday “black masses,” we trace Catemaco’s origins, its Brujo Mayor era, and the annual Noche de Brujas that still draws thousands—where white magic, black magic, faith, tourism, and fear all share the same altar.

    SEASON OF THE WITCH : Haunted Harvest | The Windsbraut and the Burning Man

    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. A whirlwind witch and a fire-lit scarecrow: two guardians twisted into curses at harvest’s edge. We trace the Windsbraut—the “wind’s bride” whose sudden spirals snatch grain—and Poland’s Płonący Człowiek, a scarecrow said to blaze to life, binding trespassers’ spirits to his eternal fire. Air and flame, omen and warning: when the fields are reaped, something old still demands its due.

    SEASON OF THE WITCH : The Last Sheaf, the Neck, and Harvest Sacrifice Legends

    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. At harvest’s edge, European folklore treats the final sheaf as a living vessel of the corn spirit—captured in plaited “corn dollies,” chased as a wolf or hare, or celebrated with the West Country’s eerie “Crying the Neck.” This episode traces how communities honoured, contained, or expelled that presence—and how darker echoes of sacrifice lingered beneath the feasting.

    SEASON OF THE WITCH : | Blood-Soaked Bounty: The Harvest’s Dark Figures

    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. Across fields and centuries, harvest spirits blur the line between blessing and curse. We meet Habernitsa, the noon wraith who punishes scythe-swingers under the blazing sun; the Corn Mother, whose gifts are tangled with poison, sacrifice, and the last sheaf; and Chicomecōātl, the Aztec maize goddess who nourishes—and demands a life in return. A tour of folklore where grain is sacred, the stakes are mortal, and abundance is bought in blood.

    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. In the Essex village of St. Osyth, a mustard-yellow cottage hides a grim past. Known as The Cage, it once served as a lock-up where accused witches—including figures tied to the 1582 trials—were held before judgment.
