Poland has a rich history of folklore and legends, with witches being a predominant aspect of its mystical traditions. Many of these witches were believed to come from specific bloodlines, which eventually gave rise to what are known as Polish witch bloodline names. These names are associated with certain magical abilities, characteristics, and lineage within the witchcraft community. One prominent example of a Polish witch bloodline name is Krukowacz, meaning "Crow Whisperer" in Polish. Those with the Krukowacz bloodline were believed to possess a deep connection with crows, often being able to communicate with and control them. This bloodline was renowned for their ability to gather information from the crows and perform divination using their guidance.

Pasco County Sheriff s deputies became unwilling referees in this religious debate last June, when, after a year of bickering, the neighborhood erupted in gunfire, with both the witches and the neighbors blasting away in the cypress woods. But when deputies arrived, the shooting match had turned into a street brawl, and the witches, some still in their black ceremonial robes, were having it out with the neighbors in the middle of the street.
This bloodline was renowned for their ability to gather information from the crows and perform divination using their guidance. Another notable bloodline name is Orzeszkowy, which translates to "Nutcracker" in English. Witches belonging to this bloodline were thought to have immense strength and the ability to crack open nuts with a single touch, symbolizing their power and connection to nature.

The steamboat “Water Witch,” although not originally built for Hudson River traffic, was the storm center of an attempt by private citizens to break a monopoly on Hudson River travel- an attempt which failed only when the citizens were “sold out” by the owners of the steamboat. Thereby “hangs a tale” which was one of the colorful events of early steamboating on the river.
Brown and Bell built the wooden hull of the “Water Witch” at New York in 1831, and her engine was the product of J.P. Allaire, also of New York. Her hull was 138 feet long, breadth of beam 22 feet and over her guards 40 feet. depth of hold 7 feet 10 inches. Her engine was of the cross-head type.
The New York and New London route was the original path of service for the new “Water Witch,” running between these two cities as a day boat. She left New York on her first trip on Saturday, July 30, 1831, with Captain Charles Davison in command; and the fare to New London was $2.50 with meals extra. During her term of service on this route, the “Water Witch” is credited with making the passage of 120 miles in 8 hours and 50 minutes- considered very good time for such a distance for a steamboat of that period.
An advertisement appearing in the New York newspapers on August 12, 1831, heralds the event of the appearance of the “Water Witch” on the Hudson river. This announcement contained the information that “the new and splendid steamboat “Water Witch,” Captain Charles Davison, will leave the foot of Warren street, New York, for Sing Sing and Peekskill daily at 7 o’clock a.m., touching at all intermediate landings; returning the same day, leaving Peekskill at 1 o’clock p.m. This boat is put on this route for the season, and no pains will be spared to render every accommodation to the traveling community.”
But there was a great deal more behind this advertisement than appeared on the surface. In the summer of 1831 a number of citizens of Putnam and Westchester counties, having for years been force to pay an exorbitant rate of fare between Sing Sing, Peekskill, and intermediate landings to the Vanderbilt Line which was at the time operating the steamboat “General Jackson,” among others, formed themselves into a stock company for the purpose of operating an independent line. Looking around for a suitable vessel to meet their requirements, they found the “Water Witch,” recently completed for the New London Line.

James Smith, Daniel Drew, and another, were called upon to manage the affairs of the new company, and thus in the summer of 1831 the “Water Witch” entered service on the Hudson river, operating until late fall in one of the most spirited “oppositions” that was ever staged on the Hudson river.
In meeting this competition, the Vanderbilt Line cut fares until the “Water Witch” was carrying passengers for 12 1/2 cents. The people of the lower river towns rallied to the support of the new line and the “Water Witch” often carried from three to five hundred passengers while the Vanderbilt Line steamboat was carrying only 20 fares. This state of affairs continued until the close of the season and gave the stockholders of the new line plenty of confidence to continue their venture.
In the spring of 1832 the “Water Witch” was again in the service of the independent group, running until May 1 and carrying almost all of the passengers. Then came the blow to the “independents”- for without any notice or the knowledge of the stockholders, the “Water Witch” was withdrawn from service! An investigation brought out the fact that Commodore Vanderbilt of the Vanderbilt Line had “arranged” with Managers Smith and Drew, to halt the activity of the “Water Witch,” and since the stockholders had invested full power of operation in the hands of Smith and Drew, there was nothing that could be done. Law suits naturally followed this “treason” on the part of the managers, but soon the “independent stock” was selling for little or nothing to friends of the Vanderbilt interests - and Daniel Drew became the manager of there Vanderbilt Line!
In the fall of 1832 the “Water Witch” was placed on the auction block and finally went to the Hartford Line, and Daniel Drew and Commodore Vanderbilt proceeded to “make things lively” on the Hudson river for some years. Later the “Water Witch” returned to the Hudson river, and then was last heard from in service between New York and Elizabeth, N.J. [words cut off] 1849.
They were often sought after for their healing abilities and were known for their deep understanding of herbal remedies. The family name Pyra was attributed to a bloodline of witches highly skilled in pyromancy, or the art of divination by fire. These witches were believed to have an innate ability to read the future by observing the flames and smoke of a fire. They were also known for their ability to manipulate fire, controlling its intensity and shape. Another bloodline name, Hekiel, was associated with witches who possessed the power of invisibility. Members of this bloodline were thought to be capable of concealing themselves from the sight of others, allowing them to move unnoticed and carry out their magical work discreetly. This bloodline was highly secretive, with their cloaking abilities widely admired and feared. The Polish witch bloodline names are not only an intriguing aspect of Polish folklore but also a testament to the diverse range of magical abilities that witches were believed to possess. These names serve as a reminder of the deep-rooted traditions and beliefs surrounding witchcraft in Poland, and continue to captivate the imaginations of those intrigued by the mystical world of witches and their powers..
