Is this the year I finally get into braucherei??

#just dara things #dara’s witchy shit #IMO as a PA Dutch person I don’t think braucherei is a ‘real’ PA Dutch tradition #I’ve done a lot of research on the academic side and everything I’ve seen #points to it being something brought by later German immigrants (late 1800s?) #or the name just invented at that time as a label for various types of German folk magic #bc it seems our PA Dutch superstitions and practices don’t bear a whole lot of resemblance #but nonetheless I find it interesting and it’s more attractive to me than English cunningwork #which also seems cool #but I am just less drawn to it
