- W3134366981 abstract "There were numerous methods and rituals used for protection against the nightmare hag, both those only described in the legend texts and those that were performed in practice, although many of them were common in Nordic folklore and were understood as broad measures of protection not only from the hag. These ways of shielding humans and animals, and perhaps even revealing which person in the neighbourhood was the hag, make up a very large share of the archival material. It is clear that knowledge of the means of protection was both conscious and unconscious, capable of being activated on occasions when a person sensed the presence of the hag or heard talk of her. Several prophylactic methods are based on conceptual analogies and can be rather intricately constructed, while simpler and more widespread variations of these methods are the apotropaic devices placed in the way of the hag, blocking her potential points of entry into a bedroom or a stable. The many different methods have to do with the different causal explanations people had for the nature and origins of the nightmare hag. In cases where the legends present recommended defence measures, it is not unusual that they are communicated to the victim by a mentor who has been asked for advice, someone supposed to have special knowledge not possessed by ordinary folk. The picture of the hag contains a complex of notions with ramifications concerning good and evil, sexuality, sickness, the economy and more. Texts that superficially appear to deal only with the animals’ health are also invested with such conceptions." @default.
