The Magic of the Horse-Shoe: With Other Folk-Lore Notes
Paperback
(Forgotten Books Nov. 30, 2013)
The study of the origin and history of popular customs and beliefs affords an insight, otherwise unattainable, into the operations of the human mind in early times. Superstitions, however trivial in themselves, relics of paganism though they be, and oftentimes comparable to baneful weeds, are now considered proper subjects for scientific research. While the ignorant savage is a slave to many superstitious fancies which dominate his every action, the educated man strives to be free from such a bondage, yet recognizes as profitable the study of those same beliefs. The heterogeneous character of the material drawn from so many sources has rendered it difficult, if not impossible, to follow any distinctly systematic treatment of the subject.Tags: horse shoe salt magic evil day ancient luck days iron folk time friday horses number times animals people sneezing placedCategory: Folklore and Mythology - FolkloreVisit Forgotten Books at:
