The Museum of Witchcraft and Magic is a museum located in the village of Boscastle in Cornwall, England. It is dedicated to the history and practice of witchcraft and magic, with a particular focus on the traditional forms of witchcraft and folk magic that have been practiced in the British Isles for centuries.
The museum was founded in 1951 by Cecil Williamson, an amateur folklorist and occultist who had a personal interest in the subject of witchcraft and magic. Williamson originally opened the museum in Castletown on the Isle of Man, but later moved it to its current location in Boscastle in 1960.

The collection includes items from many different cultures and traditions, including witchcraft and folk magic from Britain, Europe, and North America.
The museum also hosts temporary exhibitions and events throughout the year, as well as a shop where visitors can purchase books, herbs, and other items related to witchcraft and magic. The Museum of Witchcraft and Magic is a popular destination for tourists interested in the history of witchcraft and magic, as well as those interested in the modern practice of witchcraft and paganism.
