Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hexenkopf (witch's head) Rock, a 761-ft pinnacle peak (40.6179° N, 75.2413° W) on the easternmost end of the Reading Prong in Northampton County, Pennsylvania, has a two- century association with Pennsylvania German mysticism, witchcraft, and folk-medical healing. This book collects published legends, oral traditions, herbal concoctions, and artifactual materials telling the story of two dynasties of powwow healers -- the Saylors and the Wilhelms. These unorthodox folk healers used the strangely shaped rock as the acceptor of disease, sickness, hexes, and adversities transferred from their suffering patients by occult chants and prescription formulae into the Rock itself. The unique geology of the Hexenkopf Ridge and its spectacularly diverse flora and fauna, described in this book, serve to enrich the historical linkage to Pennsylvania German hexerei.
