Abstract
Although few accused early modern witches practised herbal healing, those herbs mentioned in witch-trial testimony provide a window onto popular medicine and magic. Analysis of sixty-seven herbs from the Polish witch-trials shows that ‘witches’ herbs' relate more closely to the sacramental ‘blessed herbs’ of traditional Catholicism than to contemporaneous elite herbalism.
