There's nothing worse than failing to find your way home at night and walking in circles until dawn. Witches must have bewildered you—there's no other explanation! In Slovenia, the belief in witches, their power, and their role in society was—and in some places still is—deeply rooted. We will discover all the mischief they could brew up, where they gathered, and how you could protect yourself from them. Narrated by Janja Sivec.
