In Srem (a region in Vojvodina) it is said that Witches gather above the Molovina village on some kind of walnut tree, and in Croatia they say that Witches gather on the mountain pine over Ogulin, and Klek. They say that in Srem a man in bed, after seeing a Witch fly away from his house, found her pot with the ointment and applied it on himself. He said the words that she said, and transformed into something and flew away, following her. He came to one walnut tree above Molovina and found a number of Witches, seated at a golden table and drinking from the golden glasses. When he looked at them, he recognized many of them and crossed himself saying; “anate vas mate bilo”. At that time, they all disappeared and he fell under the walnut tree as the man he used to be. The golden table disappeared as the Witches and their golden glasses became animal hooves. When the spirit of a Witch leaves her, she will lie as if dead. If someone turns her body around so that her head lay on the place where her legs had been during that time, she would never wake up again. When people see a butterfly flying around the house, they think that is the Witch and then they catch it if they can, burn it on a candle a little bit and then they release it, saying: “Come tomorrow again I will give you some salt.”. Then, if some woman came to ask for salt or for any other reason the next day, especially if she has been burned, then they think that she’s the one who came the day before. We could find many similar descriptions of Witches in the contemporary ethnological literature of the time.
