This book is unique. American professor Monica Black not only refers to the post-war period in Germany, but examines the tragic pages of the past through the prism of the flourishing of witchcraft, folk healing, increased interest in secret symbols and signs, giving all these phenomena a completely rational explanation. As a historian, Monica Black is looking for the origins of events in bygone times, discovering, for example, the propensity of the inhabitants of the German lands to witchcraft practices back in the Middle Ages. Later, this tendency would spill over into the development of the occult sciences in the Third Reich. The craving of the Germans for magical rituals and healers of all stripes after the Second World War seems quite logical in this series. The mass death of people, the collapse of the state, the collective sense of guilt - all this pushed the citizens of the newly formed Federal Republic of Germany to seek support in the sphere of the irrational. The book is full of examples related to specific destinies, the narrative is easily perceived and captures no less than any other mystical thriller.
