Alsace, land of legends and witches

The Alsatian tradition is full of witch tales, of evenings spent recounting encounters with mysterious old women of the woods, keepers of forgotten secrets and remedies. Between superstition and folk poetry, the figure of the witch remains deeply rooted in the region's imagination, passed down from generation to generation by the fireside.

This figurine keeps alive, in its own way, that touch of mystery still accompanying the long autumn and winter evenings in Alsace.

History of witches in Alsace

Prodigies and superstitions, historical anecdotes and devilry, Alsace is a land of legends where the darkest tales and the most magical myths come together. Like other regions of the Empire, Alsace experienced an unprecedented outbreak of violence and cruelty linked to witch hunts. Several thousand Alsatians were accused of having sold their soul to the Devil and delivered to a ruthless exception justice.

Note: This product is not made in Alsace. It is a high-quality Alsace souvenir for lovers of regional culture and evocative decorations.
