Cestone Marianna
Cestone Marianna
In Calitri people were firmly convinced that witchcraft was something real and that it could control nature.
It was held that the magical arts were used above all to bewitch persons by creating a mental state of inhibition, thereby depriving the victims of will power, rendering them incapable of acting freely.
According to this belief, enchantment could be in the form of evil eye, curse, or obsession.
In the first two cases the victim was believed to bewitched by a human being, but in the third case, the agent was supernatural—the devil himself.
