This little treatise is a compilation of varied folklore from the Pennsylvania-German tradition eighty years ago. It explicitly alludes to Hohmans' "Pow Wows" and Albertus Magnus' "Egyptian Secrets" (both folkloric compilations of charms, medicines, etc.The collection of lore is quite good, and at times the dry humor of the author commenting upon the spells and practices here are quite funny.

Het boekje zelf Valt enorm tegen, de inhoud is leuk
Reviewed in the Netherlands on November 22, 2020Verified Purchase
Het idee is leuk maar wat een slechte uitvoering, het is net een gratis boekje die je met kerst door de bus krijgt, en daarbovenop zit er een grote stikker op de kaft die er niet vanaf kan..
