Congress of witches

The first popular scientific seminar on the phenomenon of witch trials in Prlekija, which we held August 30 in Špital in Gornja Radgona, is behind us. For the first edition, we are more than with the participation. We hope to hold the next Witches Congress on more 'witchy' dates, of around Halloween. Maybe even as part of the HelloWine of Prlekija...

At the congress, we presented the phenomenon of witchcraft in general and devoted ourselves to the history of witchcraft processes in our regions. We also presented an announcement and an excerpt from the film Witch Trials in Prlekija, which we produced during this project. The visitors were also sweetened and refreshed with various 'magical' snacks and drinks. Some glimpses and the program of the congress:
