Advice for would-be witches in olden day Brittany

The hour and the day of the witch and all witchy things is fast approaching. Here are some tips for aspiring witches on All Souls Night from the always bewitching storyteller Bonjour from Brittany

For those without the innate talent or the patience to learn the ways of the witch, other fantastic rituals were said to allow one to possess magical abilities. For instance, anyone who ate the heart of an eel, warm from the body, was supposed to be at once endowed with the gift of prophecy. Possession of a four leafed clover, a seven headed ear of grain or the grain that had passed through the millstone without being ground was said to allow its possessor the ability to see what remained hidden from the eyes of others; the four leafed clover found under a gallows was held to be the most powerful of these rarities. The spores of the green fern, collected on the night of Midsummer, were believed to be effective in helping locate hidden treasures and to give the possessor the ability to read the deepest secrets hidden within the hearts of others.

How do you explain colours to a blind person?

I love kinaesthetic explanations of texture, also the use of sounds and smells – these explanations of colour are truly magical!

White: They gave me rough paper. They told me that white is the color of infinite possibilities, a blank slate waiting for creativity to take shape. White is like the color of the cold wind when you first step out of a door in winter.

Black: They told me that black is the absence of light, and the absence of space. The feeling of being alone, a still night where not even an insect chirps. No dogs bark, no wind touches your face. Black feels like the unknown, like someone is listening, but when you can’t listen back. It’s the color of grief, mourning, and solemnity, a reminder of the impermanence of life.

Yellow: They let me taste a lemon, and smell a sunflower. Yellow is like red, they said, but sometimes more sharp, and sometimes more mellow. It feels like the first sunlight of dawn as it hits your shoulders, the joy of laughter, and the energy of youth. It can be bitter like the outside of a lemon, or bright like the juice. I like yellow. I like it.

Grey: They handed me a smooth stone. They told me that grey is the color of neutrality, a blend of black and white. Grey feels like the balance between two extremes, the calmness of a still lake, and the serene taste of the air on a foggy day. It’s the color of resilience, adaptability, and practicality, a reminder that sometimes, the best solution is to find a compromise. Grey can be unremarkable, but it’s also comforting, like a steady presence that offers a sense of stability and reliability.

Purple: They let me hold lavender as they explained purple. Purple feels like the richness of a velvet fabric, the depth of an enchanting melody, and the peace of a quiet meditation. It’s the color of luxury, nobility, and ambition, a symbol of power that inspires us to dream big.
