Classic Reading of Our Common European Superstitions.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
After so many generations of being christianised and commercialised,many white people have lost all understanding of our common human folk-beliefs and folk-heritage.Many people still think twice about stepping on a crack and walking under a ladder or crossing paths with a black cat.From caveman into country squire and beyond,mankind has created tales to answer the scientifically unknown and complex concepts of Nature.This is a great book,well-researched and fun to read.Even the printing is the same 1947 print-type.Rather than the modern generic computerised print-outs,that are so sterile. You'll enjoy this one!
