Witchcraft in Cornwall: Charms and Curses
Keith Wallis, host of The Piskie Trap podcast, brings a new talk to The Poly in Falmouth, digging into the history of witchcraft in Cornwall. The evening explores the beliefs that once shaped everyday Cornish life — charming and healing practices, the power of the evil eye, and the unsettling notion of ill-wishing, where a neighbour's ill will was thought to bring real harm. A good fit for anyone curious about Cornish folklore, local history, or the supernatural. The Poly is a well-loved Falmouth venue with a long connection to arts and ideas, and this promises to be a thought-provoking Wednesday evening out.
