Superstition mostly as a belief in witches and with this act connected processes are in their full swing on Slovenian territory in the second half of the 17th century. This establishment took place in processes of witchcraft which started in Slovenia with a process against Veronika Deseniška and they were at their peak in that time, but they ended under the reign of Maria Teresia.

ZThe collection offers us a brief walk through superstition in Slovenia with a note on presentation of the 17th century where the examples of superstition are well described in The Glory of the Duchy of Carniola by Janez Vajkard Valvasor and Erazem Francisci who was known as even more superstitious than Valvasor. Valvasor writes that he does not believe in witches ( mostly that they can fly ), and on the other side he most carefully writes down every event and researches some of them as he travels through Carniola. Valvasor offers us a number of other superstition and beliefs, known at the time by our ancestors. The main place a superstition takes from Inner Carniola which describes a human belief of a devil who pastures flees and even illustrates the thing. A part of a collection is intended for superstition at the weddings and to public medicine and casting spells. The collection of superstition is well designed, with illustrated material, and the visitors can also see some books about dreams, figures made from “ lect “, figures for lovers, playing cards, dices, directions for reading out of the hand, prescriptions from medical books, blessings of the houses, etc.
