their rites, although this has fallen into disues. Because of the Witches'
activities under the walnut trees, folk people began viewing them with
suspicion, hence its old folk name, "Tree of Evil." To find out if a person
is a Witch drop a walnut on the lap of the suspected party. If he or she
is a Witch they will be unable to rise from the chair. This was one of
the methods of testing Witches during the Persecution. Eat walnuts to cure
madness.
