My favorite movie set to date!
When October comes around I always get excited for all the Halloween movies coming on TV - witches and werewolves and vampires, oh my! I love it! Even when I was little, I'd sneak out of bed to watch Midnight Monster Madness on the local TV station. Now days I have a folder on my
Wanneer de duisternis over de Lochemse bergen viel, maakte je dat je veilig thuis zat. En beter bleef je ver weg van de bossen tussen Zwiep en Barchem. Daar school op de noordflank van de Kale Berg immers de Witte Wievenkoele: een diepe kuil in een oude leemgroeve waarin vaalwitte vrouwengedaantes spookten. ’s Nachts verlieten deze Witte Wieven hun ondergrondse verblijf en zweefden ze als lage mistflarden over de Lochemse streek. De lokale bevolking vermeed deze spookverschijningen, want ze wist dat Witte Wieven je gerust lieten zolang je ze zelf niet lastig viel. Soms hielpen ze zelfs mensen. Een arme boerenjongen uit het Achterhoekse dorpje Zwiep bracht ze dankbaar een schaal met driekoningenkoek nadat ze hem van een nare val redden. De boerenjongen heette Herbert en was verliefd op de prachtige Johanna. Haar hebberige moeder zag echter een betere partij in de welgestelde Albert. Johanna’s meer ruimdenkende vader stelde voor dat de liefdesrivalen de strijd beslechten met een dapperheidstest. Bij nacht moesten ze te paard naar de Witte Wievenkoele rijden en een haarspit naar de behoorlijk licht ontvlambare spookdames gooien. Op papier was Herberts aftandse boerenknol geen partij voor Alberts gespierde raspaard. Maar de boerenjongen bleek standvastiger. Zijn gegoede rivaal koos halfweg de rit al het hazenpad. De bescheiden boerenjongen volhardde en mikte zonder aarzelen het ijzeren projectiel in de kuil. Als door een horzel gestoken schoten de Witte Wieven hun ongewenste gast krijsend achterna. Hun scherpe vingernagels klauwden al gevaarlijk toen Herbert Johanna’s huis bereikte. Een klap weerklonk. Buiten lag de haarspit en – verrassing – de nu gouden schaal van Herberts driekoningenkoek. Uiteraard werd Johanna zijn vrouw. https://5-five-5.blogspot.com/ https://dorpenstedennederland.blogspot.com/

There’s a party ‘trick’ I’m pretty sure we’ve all played at some point. “Light as Feather, Stiff as Board”. Well, let me tell you my experience first, because this is not a trick but Practical Magic. I’ve been drinking with some friends at my early 20s and one proposed to play this levitation ‘trick’. They […]

here are many different types of clover, all of which can be used magically. Clover has been long regarded as a lucky plant likely because of the religious connotations associated with the trifoliate leaves which symbolize the Trinity. As such, they were often worn for protection and to deflect evil and spells.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN ALL! I hope today finds you all ready to face the evening with a basketful of treats for the children in your neighborhood! I thought today I would share with you my all-time favorite movie house from PRACTICAL MAGIC. It must be said, I did not find this movie appealing in the least, that may be because for the length of the movie I was preoccupied with the house. And I was horrified when I found out this lovely old house was NOT in fact a real home to a loving family. The producers could not find a Victorian home to meet their needs. So in true Hollywood form one was built to suit! Wish I could do that! The story takes place in New England, but the house was built on a San Juan Island in Washington State, where the weather would be more agreeable for shooting. In the photo below, you can see how close the house is to the water. It looks like a real house that was built in the 1850s, but it’s really just an “architectural shell” that took 8 months to build and was sadly destroyed after filming was over. What insane executive made THAT decision?? Even the flowers in the garden were fake, but you couldn’t tell, could you? The side porch overlooks the water. The exterior set was built on an old Indian burial ground, so they weren’t allowed to dig there or disturb the site, creepy huh? The house was built on a giant platform. Here’s a photo of it being taken down–you can see that it was “empty” inside. The movie is about two sisters who go to live with kooky aunts after their parents die. It was based on the novel by Alice Hoffman. Of course all of the interiors were created and shot on a sound stage in Los Angeles. I could do some serious baking in this kitchen! I love the Aga, the house must have been built around it! After all, everyone knows, the kitchen IS the heart of the home! In true Victorian fashion, the interior of the house is decked out in darker colors and warm wood. And this conservatory makes me definitely want to plant something! To be fake, this garden is amazing! Now, understand I am not advocating witchcraft - FAR FAR FROM IT! Take this little post for what it's meant, cruising a pretty awesome house on Halloween and nothing more. So please, dear friends, unclench your intestines and no e-mails on the subject! I love this house, from the kitchen, to the conservatory to the lovely old porch and the gardens beyond. Can you believe they knocked this place down after filming, what were they thinking?
