(Wiki)
... There was a great famine in
Greenland; those who had been to the fishing had but small takes, and some
had not returned at all. There was a woman in the district named
Thorbjörg, who was a spae-wife, and was called the Little
Witch. She had had nine sisters, all of them witches, but she was
the only one alive then. It was her custom in the winter-time to go
to entertainments, and men invited her to visit them, especially such as
were curious to know their fortunes or how the season would turn out... (Scandinavian
Folk-lore, Craigie, 1896)
