Wolfssegen
text:
In Bavarian folklore of the Early Modern period, a Wolfssegen was an apotropaic charm against wolves; conversely, a Wolfbann (Wolf-Bann) was a malevolent spell causing a wolf attack. The Wolfssegen is just one specific example of various distinct kinds of Segen in the folklore of German-speaking Europe. Early examples of Wolfssegen survive from the Late Middle Ages. The use of these charms seems to have peaked during the 17th century, when they were offered by professional "wolf charmers". This
