The Harz Mountains hold a key position in German folk memory as a dwelling place for witches and goblins, fable and myth.

Answer 3

In the 15th century, the "Malleus Malleficarum" gained popularity as a manual on how to recognize and deal with witchcraft. http://www.malleusmaleficarum.org/

It is not part of the common peoples lore, though.

I once read a book about witchcraft recipes used in the middle ages, its nothing spectacular really, about 80% are love potions, the rest is drugs that make you hallucinate.

Hope this helps.
