The belief in witches touches on all central aspects of every human life form from conception to death and also formed an economically significant basis for medicine. In all known testimonies about European witchcraft, various cultural layers overlap, both scholarly and popular. This is also true for medical knowledge. This book deals not only with physical illness but also with human desires, which have hardly changed since the beginning of our history. Even the luxurious lifestyle of the last 50 years could not quell humanity's yearning for security, touch, love, and happiness. Stories about and by witches, guides to becoming a witch, fairy tales, legends, myths, operas, and stories have lost none of their fascination even at the beginning of the 21st century. There is a wealth of material.
