Abstract
Despite the importance of folk religion in Estonian identity, material collections of magical objects are formed randomly. Scarcity is characteristic also of academic interest towards magical objects, resulting on the one hand in ignoring magical objects, on the other hand in ungrounded over-interpretations. This article explores the formation of museum collections holding magical objects and ways of exploiting magic in academic studies.
