( Swatura) A tale of oral ‘history.’ They freely mix comedy, drama, and pure fantasy elements into the same story. They are told both for entertainment and to teach history and the proper manner of handling problems. The swatura are quite distinct from tha paramitsha in that even though a swato may have some fantasy elements and be quite entertaining, it is an educational ‘history,’ rather than a true "fairy tale" told solely for entertainment

"But let no one think that, because we have enumerated the various methods by which various forms of witchcraft are inflicted, he will arrive at a complete knowledge of these practices; for such knowledge would be of little use, and might even be harmful. Not even the forbidden books of Necromancy contain such knowledge, for witchcraft is not taught in books, nor is it practised by the learned, but by the altogether uneducated; having only one foundation,
without the acknowledgement or practice of which it is impossible for anyone
to work witchcraft as a witch."
