Easter Witches

In Sweden, Easter witches or påskkärringar have been a tradition since the early 19th century. On Skärtorsdagen (the cleansing Thursday) before Easter, children will dress as witches (påskkärringar) and go door to door wishing a Happy Easter and receive treats (much like trick-or-treating). This tradition ties to the folktale of witches flying on broomsticks to the legendary island of Blåkulla to dance with the devil on this day. Hang your own little witch on your Easter tree or even in your kitchen for good luck! Green or pink. 2.5"
