Not that fortune telling stuff. More like being a village / folk healer, performing purifying rituals etc. on the willing person, on your livestock, house etc., using various herbs, prayers and ceremonies using egg and stuff like that. She was a witch performing white magic & using herbal medicine, something close to szeptunka in the village called Sarnów located here. Her name was Wiktoria and her husband's name was ... Wiktor. Cute
Here you have a short clip on one woman who carries it on. Sadly no subtitles. There are only a handful of them left in my country mostly in the North-Eastern Poland.

Interesting that Spain, Portugal and Italy didn't have to go through this that much, since they were stable Catholic countries. They didn't have any competition.

Here you have one Polish witch - healer, szeptucha from Podlasie. Paraskiewa Artemiuk performing a ritual and praying... her name & that mixed language she uses indicates that she's from Belarussian minority or a descendant of Orthodox Old Believers. I think it could be the same woman as in the video above.
Obviously there are plenty of Wiccans too in Poland, and self-proclaimed Witches of both genders too, but it's a different, unassociated thing.

I cast one spell on Marmara and it worked. But I am not a witch.
Historically, shamanism played a pretty significant part in everyday Korean life. It still exists in some small pockets of the country now, but 95%+ of people are super creeped out about it. It's really disturbing, tbh. Friggin mental cases
