Potion-Making in Rus': From Witches and Spells to Amulets and Lukomorye
14.99 €
Our ancestors had no schools of magic. They had to learn herbalism, protection from evil charms and other magical arts on their own in order to survive in a world full of dangers.
This book tells about the magical representations of the Slavs and brings together the whole complex of their beliefs about plants. To summon rain, to conjure up a beloved, to subdue a restless dead man - for every case there were their own means. Alexandra Barkova weaves stories about how conspiracies were reflected in Pushkin's work, and rituals - in modern psychotherapy into a fascinating narrative about what people believed in, what they feared and how they saw the world in the past. And convincingly proves that thanks to the experience accumulated by generations, they understood much more than they could know.
