The author has undertaken extensive research on the history of folk
beliefs connected with communication with the supernatural sphere.
In this text, she examines the relics of European shamanism in
early modern sources, and the techniques and belief-systems of
mediators found in the records of witchcraft trials from the
sixteenth to the eighteenth century. Pocs also explores the kinds
of communication systems known to early modern Hungarians, the role
of these systems in everyday village life, and how they were
connected to contemporary European systems. On the basis of her
material and analysis, she contributes a number of details and
identifies types of mediators and systems which function up to the
twentieth century.
