The Swedish tradition of Easter witches, has its roots in the old folk belief that witches would fly on their brooms to the mountain Blåkulla on Maundy Thursday to celebrate sabbath with the Devil.
The Easter witches were known for their love of coffee and it was believed that they would stop by people's homes on their way to Blåkulla, come down the chimney and brew huge batches of black coffee to bring with them to the sabbath.
