“Now it is the time of night That the graves, all gaping wide, Every one lets forth his sprite In the church-way paths to glide.” - William Shakespeare, ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’. We are missing Halloween! In the meantime while we wait for next year, take a look at this sculpture piece we deeply love from @dellamorteco 🖤 . . . #ghost #shakespeare #goth #vamp #victorian #hauntedhouse #haunted #bnw #darkart #witchy #witchinghour #amidsummernightsdream https://www.instagram.com/p/CV9TZHggo57/?utm_medium=tumblr

Something we found even more captivating than the portrait at the front of this card is the ghostly remnant of another portrait on the rear, one that is not in our collection and may perhaps be lost forever. However it makes for a good mystery 🖤 From our cabinet card portrait collection with @memphisarchive ✨ . . . #cabinetcard #portrait #1800s #1800sfashion #victorian #ghost #witchy #vamp #goth #victorianstyle #vintage #analogphotography #history #antique #antiquephoto #blackandwhite #haunted https://www.instagram.com/p/CV6yBUWAN1A/?utm_medium=tumblr

We are in Salem 🎃✨ These are the graves of Salem’s Old Burying Point Cemetery, a historic graveyard founded in 1637! Some of those buried here have connections to the Salem Witch Trials, however, none of the accused witches put to death were buried here. According to the History of Massachusetts website, “It is not known exactly what happened to their bodies but a few family legends suggests that some of their bodies were claimed by their families and buried on their private property.” . . . #salemmassachusetts #salem #graveyard #cemeteries #1600s #grave #witch #witchtrials #history #witchyvibes #gothic #death #darkhistory (at Salem, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CULgvP6liqg/?utm_medium=tumblr

This week’s dark read is Science and the Supernatural: An Investigation of Paranormal Phenomena Including Psychic Healing, Clairvoyance, Telepathy, and Precognition by a Distinguished Physicist and Mathematician by John Taylor ✨ This book is a unique read as it definitely comes from a outsider’s perspective of the supernatural. Taylor is very methodical in his writing and research, citing as many sources as possible and including references for our own further reading and an index to quickly finding topics and people of interest. He attempts to remain unbiased and strictly informative on these topics which I found very refreshing! This book is full of accounts, and delves deeply into the human psyche, our fears and our memories. If you are looking for a book with a strictly scientific approach to the supernatural, I believe this is a good starting point 🖤 . . . #supernatural #science #clairvoyance #telepathy #book #vintagebooks #occult #witchy #vamp #gothic #bookstagram #bookrecommendations #booklover #strangerthings #history #nonfiction #oddities #curiosity #oldbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CUDfQ17ln_T/?utm_medium=tumblr

“The Dark balances the Light. Do not fear it but equally embrace it.” Our dark read of the week is Nocturnal Witchcraft: Magick After Dark by Konstantinos! From casting spells and nocturnal magick circles, to invoking dark gods and goddesses, this book deeply explores special techniques for working with what Konstantinos calls “the Night Powers.” Check your local occult or book shop to see if they carry this book or request it! . . . #occult #occultism #darkaesthetic #witchy #witchcraft #darkarts #darkacademia #occultbooks #gothic #nocturnalwonderland #nocturnal #konstantinos https://www.instagram.com/p/CTi16d_oRu1/?utm_medium=tumblr
