This book provides a nuanced picture of the notions of body and
soul held by the peoples of Europe through the soul concepts
associated with the Judeo-Christian tradition and other religions
and denominations; and the alternative traditions preserved
alongside Christianity in folklore collections, linguistic and
literary records. The studies also emphasize the connections
between these notions and beliefs related to death and the dead, as
well as questions of communication between the human world and the
spirit world. The essays here focus on the roles notions of the
soul and the spirit world play in the everyday life, religion and
mentality of various communities; their folklore and literary
representations, as well as the narrative metaphors, motifs, topoi
and genres of ideas about the soul and about supernatural
communication, along with questions of the relationship between
narratives and religious notions.This book will appeal to
researchers and students of religion, mythology, folklore and the
anthropology of religion, as well as general readers interested in
the humanities.
