Hi They are kind of witches, I guess I did not find the right word when doing the album :-)) Once every year at easter (in Sweden) you go to Bl�kulla (on the easter Thursday), you fly on your broom. It is fun now but not in the old days when you were burnt just because someone whispered you were a witch and had been "seen" going to Bl�kulla. Nowadays it it kind of like Halloween but you dress in (I did it more than 40 years ago) your mothers old skirt, an apron, paint round roses on your cheeks with her lipstick and make freckles with her eyebrow pencil and you take an old kettle or something and go out to your neighbours, and others, wishing a Happy Easter and get a coin or candy in return, but no tricks if you don�t get anything. My kids did it 20 years ago and kids do it still. Halloween is "coming" more and more too, but I do think the easter whitches "look" is better than the halloween skeleton that came last year!
