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
