Witches were greatly feared by nearly everyone less than 300 years ago, and by some people in our own century. At Halloween, people believed they were at their wicked worst, and first blazed across the countryside to frighten them and other evil spirits away. Superstitions about witches were indeed strange. It was believed that witches held big meetings which were very important. One came on April 30, the eve before May Day. It was called Roodmas in England and Walpurgis Night in Germany. The other fell on October 31. Halloween became the Witches’ Night. What a gay time the witches had! They flew to the meeting on broomsticks. The party was led by the Devil. Witches had special powers on this night. Heh! Heh! Heh! They laughed as they thought up all sorts of mischief. Bad luck! Storms! Ruined crops! They linked arms, kicking their hells and laughing. In the early morning, they rode their broom sticks home. There were other superstitions. Witches used their magic to see into the future. They could change themselves into other forms. They could even casts spells over people and change them. They might change a beautiful girl into a snake. Witches were often in company with such things as owls, bats, lizard and frogs. The witches cooked their magic brews in big black ports. These were called cauldrons. One of William Shakespeare’s famous plays tells of three witches mixing a magic brews:
“In the cauldron boil and bake; Eye of newt, and toe of frog, Wool of bat, and tongue of dog, Adder’s fork, and blind-worm’s sting, Lizard’s leg, and owlet’s wing, For a charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble. Double, double toil and trouble: Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.”
If you want to meet a witch this old superstition tells you what you must do. Put your clothes on wrong side out. Walk backwards to a crossroads on Halloween night. At midnight you will see a witch. Black cats were the partners of witches. Many people were afraid of cats. Some thought cats were the spirits of the dead. Others believed that witches changed themselves into cats. If people meet a cat, they asked: “Is this really a cat? Or is this a witch changed into a cat?” The Irish had many superstitions about witches and cats. If they began a trip and met a black cat, they turned back. A witch was in their path. The trip would turn out badly. Even today, many people do not want a black cat to cross their path.
