2750. It is such who must be called inward deceptions (trulldom*), for they operate inwardly, and their arts are not so obvious to spirits. Moreover, there are those who practice more crude deceptions, and they are like foolish people, mixing together whatever comes their way, be it material, earthly, spiritual, and imagine this concoction to contain some great power to accomplish whatever they want. These are in a kind of dream, not knowing what they are doing, and the kind that dwell in an outhouse. * Swedish for "witchcraft."
