Although Portugal and its islands the Acores and Madeira are
considered predominately Catholic, many of the beliefs and
practices so intertwined in everyday life are the result of many
non-Catholic influences. In particular with the islands of the
Acores and Madeira, as is the case with so many island
civilizations, a blending of natural folk magic and superstitions
occurs, and syncretism becomes a basis for the way of life. This
book provides a brief historical, sociological, and hands-on
introduction to the practices many first generation Portuguese or
Luso-Americans recall their grandparents speaking of. You will walk
away with a better understanding of the make-up of the people, as
well as a few magical practices, folk remedies, and traditional
recipes to call your own.
