About This Book
An elderly folk healer known across neighboring villages employs a blend of exorcisms, herbal remedies and ritual crafts to cure ailments and repel epidemics, invoking saints, numbers and folkloric beings. The narrative follows her daily practices, procedures for casting out maladies, and a celebrated episode in which she protects a settlement from a virulent disease by ritual means. Vivid scenes show how villagers rely on her scarce material rewards, reciprocal charity and steady presence, while the text explores rural customs, popular belief, and the interplay of communal trust, poverty and localized knowledge in everyday life.
