Witch Krafting with Kat

Hi everyone, well because of the Corornavirus lockdown I haven't had the chance to go exploring across the British countryside for Witchy places, events or places to photograph for my blog. But I am making use of my time to create some simple tutorials which I am downloading to youtube. They are not all of a Witchy nature but so easily be adapted and I will soon be doing some witchypoo ones so please stop by and have a look! Of course as soon as some sort of normality returns and we are allowed out I shall get back to photographing and blogging more! https://youtu.be/kM4hxhpexUE

Well this year,so far, has not gone to plan lol! Had all these plans for my blog but with bad weather, illness and now the dreaded Coronavirus my time and my mind has been a little distracted. But I thought I would try and be useful and post some mini tutorials I spotted on pinterest with a Witchy, fairy, pagan theme. Might be handy for anyone stuck at home and sick of housework lol! Enjoy and please keep safe and keep well x

With all the chaos in the world here is a little spell I found on line to boast your confidence.

Had a fantastic time at the Great Con-Junction Official Dark Crystal event at Elstree Studios Feb 2020.  Here are some photos from my day! The event was a fantastic mix of original Dark Crystal and new Dark Crystal Age of Resistance. Included Q&A panels, signings, Cosplay competition, photo opportunities and a Skeksis style buffet lunch! All at Elstree Studios home to the Dark Crystal and many more wonderful movies and TV programmes.  A very magical and other worldly day!  h Yes that is me, Hup and Victor Yerrid! Happy or should that be Huppy day! 

One of my creations two witches stirring a cauldron making some dastardly potion, or are they just using up yuletide veggies in a stew? Happy belated new year to you all. Well Christmas came and went in a flash. I hope you all had a wonderful yuletide! I cannot believe we are already half way through January! My decorations are all packed away and hiding back in the loft and the last of the festive fair has been eaten, I feel finally I have entered 2020! Lol! Now time to eat slightly healthier foods,well I don't like to over do it lol! With lighter evenings slowly returning I look forward to stretching my legs a little, getting out about for gentle walks and little adventures to blog about! But in the mean time with the weather being cold, rainy and possibly snowy between now and Spring I shall be doing a few Witchy craft tutorials to keep you busy on those stay in doors days and posting things to look forward to. So please pop by my blog or subscribe for updates, see a butto...

There is a wonderful old Christmas tradition in Italy of a old lady resembling a witch called Befana. She delivers presents on Epiphany Eve and is very similar to the Saint Nicolas/Krampus traditional of giving good children gifts and that naughty children get punish by receiving coal! There is a lovely article on the website listed below Befana images which I highly recommend reading. Festive witches appear in many countries and on old postcards   Befana Dolls for sale in Italy. https://www.ottawaitalians.com/Heritage/befana.htm
