witch bottle
Witch bottles are countermagical devices used as protection against witchcraft and conjure. They are described in historical sources in England and the United States. The first mention of a witch bottle appears in the 17th century.
==Origins and purpose==
One of the earliest descriptions of a witch bottle in Suffolk, England, appears in 1681 in Joseph Glanvill’s ''Saducismus Triumphatus, or Evidence concerning Witches and Apparitions'':
Since at least the early modern period it has been a common custom to hide objects such as written charms, dried cats, horse skulls, concealed shoes, and witch bottles in the structure of a building. Folk magic contends that witch bottles protect against evil spirits and magical attack, and counteract spells cast by witches; they are countermagical devices, the purpose of which is to draw in and trap harmful intentions directed at their owners.
