An odd way to see 'witches'
I suppose this refers to dead witches and those who are quite alive, but 'beyond the pale' of normal society.
How one can know/see the witches / The 126th 'Art' from page 119 of "138 Entirely New Mysteries" by Ben Johann Martin Hagen, Anno Domini 1744?
My Translation from German/auf Deutsch:
"Find a grave of a woman who died in childbirth, with a dead FIRST son, buried by her side. If there is a tree near the graves, take a sizeable branch from the tree. Then auger a hole in the branch and through the hole you will see all witches."
The book was published in old Fraktur script, so many people in 'modern' Germany and the U.S. are unable to translate it, unless they have had good teachers or professors, who took the time to teach the old script (thankfully, I did).
One may also see the incredible through a knothole (The Old Folk - The Good People), A Vesica Piscis (a 'crotched' tree grown together at the top), a loop/noose, a shiny tin bowl, a brass or copper pot with various burned herbs or water and 'India ink'. (Various US and European Folklore). Quintessential symbols.
