Renowned folklorist Charles Godfrey Leland examines the traditions,
nature and mysteries of gypsy magic. This edition includes all of
the author's original illustrations. The various customs,
incantations and rituals of the Gypsy communities in continental
Europe are brought to life in this text. The author begins by
acknowledging the complete lack of knowledge most people have in
the subject, and praises the various gypsy communities for their
vast and unrivalled contributions to magic, predicting the future,
and medicinal cures and philters. Methodical and well-informed, the
author charts a vivid chronicle through centuries of gypsy
traditions. Beginning with the affinity of the travelling peoples
with sorcery and witchcraft, Bullinger proceeds to discuss the
charms and magicks which gypsies would produce or perform -
exorcisms of evil spirits, protection of livestock, and recovery of
stolen items are some of the reasons behind these unusual
practices.
