Product Information

Jesus Nazarenus, a King of the Jews, help us out of these dangers of fire, and save this country and limits from all plague and pestilence. She informs us that the town used to be a tourist trap that’s been slowly dying, which is also where the Butter Festival comes in. Good stories, quirky characters, interesting settings, and a nice mix of humor, romance, plausible magic, and mystery.

That’s true for adults too, and just the act of bringing a mushroom home makes you think on it a bit harder. Although mushroom poisonings are rare in the grand scheme of things, be aware that you are responsible for proper identification AND consulting multiple sources for your identification.

Something else that is odd is that witches are not common in Irish folklore – the Butter Witch is really our main protagonist, most of the other superstitious are as you say, attached to The Folk. This was my first murder mystery involving a family of witches and I found the whole story very entertaining. Lee's Witches of the Midwest series--three cousins, their single mothers, and a rude elderly aunt, all of whom live together. It’s not hard to spot a common, bright orange mushroom and the little girl seemed to be drawn to it. As far as the butter carving contest, while I'm used to them here in northern climes, it seems more than odd for the mid-Atlantic states.

We arrive now in 2020, in the midst of a global pandemic where hysteria, finger pointing, blame, control and conspiracy theories are rife. We’re joining Harlow, our main character – resident journalist for an online newspaper for the town (employee roster 1) and Slip Witch, just in time for the Butter Festival.Released in limited edition by the boutique indie studio, the book includes Eggers’ original script, production sketches, still imagery from the film, a new short story about Thomasin by Carmen Maria Machado, and an in-depth interview between Robert Eggers and historian David D. Once the wood is infected, it tends to put out a bloom after each heavy rain, which is likely to keep a family paranoid of evil spirits if they don’t replace that beam. the magical element to the story was the catalyst to many funny incidents and gave the story an overall light feel.

As the crowds began to gather, Barbara saw a dark haired boy, who looked about ten or eleven, dart across the square. An alternative theory for the origin of the common name of this fairly common jelly fungus is that this species was thought to have the power to counteract witchcraft if the fruitbodies were thrown on to a blazing fire - probably not instead of the witches, I fear! However, just before the butter carving festival is about to start, Harlow discovers one of the top competitors dead, tied to a chair and drained of all blood, in the butter warehouse. One helpful example of a piece of "good witching" came in the form of a fire letter, which had to be read as one walked back and forth in front of a dwelling, all the while reciting: "Be welcome, fiery guest, but do not spread further; this I count thee as a penance in the name of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Many of these customs are not confined to Ireland, but they do change slightly according to local traditions.Between dealing with sleazy real estate developers intent on getting their hands on Torrent Mansion, a teenage Slip Witch who just might be the Queen of Sarcasm, a talking magical cat who smells like lavender, and an AWOL potential future boyfriend, Harlow would love nothing more than a peaceful Summer. The descriptions in the beginning were horribly formulated "this/that/the other one" IS NOT a description! The main protagonist, Harlow Torrent, is one of seven Torrent witches, each with a power of their own but Harlow is a Slip witch, which means her powers vary from time to time.
