boszorkány
Boszorkány is the Hungarian word for witch. Historically, the concept of the boszorkány in Hungarian folklore shared many similarities with witchcraft traditions found in other European cultures. They were often depicted as individuals, typically women, who possessed supernatural powers, often acquired through a pact with the devil or other malevolent forces. These powers were believed to be used for harmful purposes, such as cursing individuals, causing illness, or bringing misfortune.
Accusations of witchcraft and the associated trials were present in Hungary, though perhaps not as widespread
In more recent times, the figure of the boszorkány has been reinterpreted in popular culture and fantasy
