Between the Living and the Dead: A Perspective on Witches and Seers in the Early Modern Age

In examining the relics of European shamanism in early modern age
sources, the techniques and belief-systems of mediators found in the
records of witch-craft trials from the 16th-18th centuries, the author's
goal was to explore the kinds of communication systems known to early
modern Hungarians, the role of these systems in the everyday life of the
village, and how they were connected to contemporary European systems.
In addition, the author investigates the relations and changes of
paradigm of the systems defined. The book represents a contribution to
the most up-to-date international research into historical anthropology
and the study of religions, drawing on Eastern European material and
literature not previously included. On the basis of her material and
analysis, the author contributes a number of new details, identifying
new types of mediators and sys-tems which function right up to the
twentieth century.
