Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Cassell Dictionary of Folklore is a treasure-trove of intriguing and even arcane information. In-depth articles on a range of everyday themes - dreams, numbers, nursery rhymes and the weather to name but a few - offer detailed coverage of their often surprising folkloric associations. Of particular fascination are the articles describing the popular beliefs and remedies linked with hundreds of plants, birds and animals. In addition, The Cassell Dictionary of Folklore features a colourful and cosmopolitan cast of popular heroes and folkloric characters - from the well-known William Tell and Rumpelstiltskin, to the lesser-known English outlaw Clym of the Clough and the heroic Wild Edric of Shropshire. Here too are fabulous beasts and beings a-plenty: elves, ghosts, goblins, pixies, sorcerers, vampires, werewolves, wraiths and wiverns, and a bewildering array of sprites and spirits both malevolent and benign, from the man-hating wili of Slavic mythology to the cosily familiar Easter Bunny of modern American tradition."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection investigates the origins of our most intriguing old-fashioned superstitions, many of which we still find ourselves abiding by today. Hundreds of the beliefs passed down through the generations have their foundations in our ancestors' efforts to ward off evil, which they blamed for hardship, illness and injustice in times when life was, as often as not, 'nasty, brutish and short'. Black Cats and Evil Eyes sets these superstitions in their historical and social context, explaining how fear of the Devil, demons, evil spirits and witchcraft drove people to arm themselves with rituals and talismans to repel dark forces and allow them to live long and healthy lives. In examining many of our common superstitions, this book illuminates the customs, beliefs and practices that link us to an ancient, and often darker, human past.

Download or read book Backwoods Witchcraft written by Jake Richards and published by Weiser Books. This book was released on 2019-05-31 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Backwoods Witchcraft, Jake Richards offers up a folksy stew of family stories, lore, omens, rituals, and conjure crafts that he learned from his great-grandmother, his grandmother, and his grandfather, a Baptist minister who Jake remembers could "rid someone of a fever with an egg or stop up the blood in a wound." The witchcraft practiced in Appalachia is very much a folk magic of place, a tradition that honors the seen and unseen beings that inhabit the land as well as the soil, roots, and plant life. The materials and tools used in Appalachia witchcraft are readily available from the land. This "grounded approach" will be of keen interest to witches and conjure folk regardless of where they live. Readers will be guided in how to build relationships with the spirits and other beings that dwell around them and how to use the materials and tools that are readily available on the land where one lives. This book also provides instructions on how to create a working space and altar and make conjure oils and powders. A wide array of tried-and-true formulas are also offered for creating wealth, protecting one from gossip, spiritual cleansing, and more.
