The book deals with the mythic beliefs, notions and customs concerning nature, the cult of the dead, demons, witchcraft, the supernatural and more, many of which have their roots in the pre-Christian past, but which continue to survive. The author draws on a rich variety of sources to illuminate the evolution of major themes and motifs, and to give context to the mythology. These include anecdotal narrative forms, religious legends, epic songs, funeral laments, and folk tales.Product Identifiers
