Permanent EXHIBITION
If you press the Exhibition button, you will be guided to a description
on what you will find here in
our Museum of Witchcraft. You will also see a small slide show. Enjoy!
Do you
want to
know what
lightning stones
and dragon
tongues are,
why mistletoe
helps against dizziness, allegedly black cats are an unhappy sign
and why all this relates to Hippocrates and witches?
Then you are in the right
exhibition! The Hexenmuseum Schweiz
presents the
witch trials
in Switzerland
and Europe,
highlights
the effects of today and opens a window into the history of Swiss
folklore, legends and superstition.
Learn about
the customs of our ancestors like the use of amulets to ward of the
evil. We show the aspects of divination: Tarot, astrology,
chirology, crystal ball and
tea leaf reading.
Magic
and spells
are among
the oldest
records from
all parts
of the
world.
The
Hexenmuseum Schweiz
in a neutral but
professional setting, dealing
with these exciting topics. Much of the customs are still
cultivated today,
but without
knowing the
meaning or
the origin
of them. Or do you
know why we toast with glasses and Friday the 13th
allegedly bring bad
luck?
A look into
history opens up many contexts, promotes understanding of the
emergence of different designations and our worldly concept. The
encounter with our past
allows a
critical appreciation of the achievements.
