According to a myth that dates back to medieval times, every Maundy Thursday, the Witches takes their brooms and fly to Blåkulla for a gathering. These days kids (both boys and girls), often dress up as Easter Witches, wearing a dress with an apron and a headscarf. Their mission is to gather candy. Unfortunately for these three witches, Sara, Malin and Lisa, that I met in Tungelsta today, I didn't have any candy, so instead they gave some chocolate! Happy Easter Girls!

I can imagine that Paul. Yes, the Swedish word is Häxa.
