The Lapland witchcraft was celebrated, and a large part of it consisted in trafficking with the winds. Cf. Hudibras Part II. Cant. ii. 1. 343
'And sell their blasts of wind as dear As Lapland witches bottled air'
And Part III. Cant. i. 1. 1133
'In which the Lapland Magi deal And things incredible reveal'
