OESEL 1855 (Estonia)

One synonym of Oesel is Kaande. A. F. Gebel wrote in 1868: Many people believe in apparitions of the Devil. To defend themselves from his mystical attacks, simple folk ground pieces of the Kaande meteorite into powder, then swallowed it; or carried pieces of the meteorite on their chests as amulets. People not only assured me of this in Kaande, but I myself saw and obtained several such amulets, kept by peasants and especially by peasant women.
