About This Book

This work collects folk practices and beliefs associated with gypsy fortune-telling, witchcraft, and folk magic, bringing together incantations, charms, amulets, medical spells, anecdotes, and examples of divination and exorcism. It surveys rituals for healing people and animals, pregnancy and childbirth lore, love charms and theft recovery, witch meetings and haunt traditions, and the principles and techniques of fortune-telling, illustrated by regional variants and translations of spells. Chapters include proverbs, children’s rhymes, magical secrets, and notes on amulets and toad-lore, aiming to document both specific formulas and broader patterns in popular magical thought.
