In European folklore, mandragoras are familiar demons who appear in the figures of little men without beards.^[1]

Mandragoras are thought^{[by whom?]} to be little dolls or figures given to sorcerers by the Devil for the purpose of being consulted by them in time of need, and it would seem as if this conception^{[weasel words]} had sprung directly from that of the fetish, which is nothing else than a dwelling-place made by a shaman or medicine-man for the reception of any wandering spirit who chooses to take up his abode therein.^{[citation needed]}
