“An exception is that the task of protecting the town or village was characteristic only of the táltos; some Hungarian female táltos virtually ftilfilled the role of a guardian spirit. Twentieth-century táltos legends often contain the motif of a shamanistic battle for rain”

“This connection is an additional characteristic of professional seers”
Éva Pócs, Between the Living and the Dead: A Perspective on Witches and Seers in the Early Modern Age

“According to the social-anthropological interpretation of the concept, witchcraft is both an ideology that explains human misfortune and an institution that regulates communal conflicts.”
