range of disciplines to examine folk religions across cultures.

oral, fluid, accessible, evolving religion of people (volk)
on-the-ground. Split into five sections, this book covers: What is
Folk Religion? Spirit Beings and Deities Performance and Ritual
Praxis Possession and Exorcism Health, Healing, and Lifestyle
Topics include demons and ambivalent gods, tree and nature spirits,
revolutionary renunciates, oral lore, possession and exorcism,
divination, midwestern American spiritualism, festivals, queer
sexuality among ritual specialists, the dead returned, vernacular
religions, diaspora adaptations, esoteric influences underlying
public cultures, UFOs, music and sound experiences, death rituals,
and body and wellness cultures. Living Folk Religions is a
must-read for those studying Comparative Religions, World
Religions, and Religious Studies, and it will interest specialists
and general readers, particularly enthusiastic readers of
Anthropology, Folklore and Folk Studies, Global Studies, and
Sociology.
