The book provides a comprehensive exploration of witchcraft beliefs
and practices in the rural region of Eastern Slovenia. Based on
field research conducted at the beginning of the twenty-first
century, it examines witchcraft in the region from folkloristic,
anthropological, as well as historical, perspectives. Witchcraft is
presented as part of social reality, strongly related to misfortune
and involved in social relationships. The reality of the ascribed
bewitching deeds, psychological mechanisms that may help
bewitchment to work, circumstances in which bewitchment narratives
can be mobilised, reasons for a person to acquire a reputation of
the witch in the entire community, and the role that unwitchers
fulfilled in the community, are but a few of the many topics
discussed. In addition, the intertwinement of social witchcraft
with narratives of supernatural experiences, closely associated
with supernatural beings of European folklore, forming part of the
overall witchcraft discourse in the area, is explored.
