Synopsis
The Encyclopedia of Curious Rituals and Superstitions illustrates and explores the most curious beliefs and superstitions from around the world, weaving together folklore, religions, cultures, traditions, and even human nature itself. Explore the most fascinating superstitions from around the world and marvel at the impact they have on our present-day lives. The Encyclopedia of Curious Rituals and Superstitions sheds light on the impact that superstitions have on our global society at large, world history, the pop culture we consume, the art we create, and even the way we think about marriage, death, prosperity, self-protection, and luck, to name a few. No matter where on Earth you live, superstitions have always been the infrastructure of societies since ancient times. They can be found in social rules of etiquette, in the vocabulary we communicate with, in rituals performed during holidays, in birthing rooms across time, at funerals, or just in our everyday habits. These mysterious practices provide an essential source of comfort, safety, and control. Even more fascinating is that they have been used since time immemorial to explain the unexplained. Unpack the lore and origins of cultural superstitions and how they have persisted throughout many generations. Discover how: Celtic fairies are behind our compulsion to knock on wood Norse mythology is responsible for our fear of the number 13Taylor Swift finds the number 13 to be lucky A quick death in Japan is thought to be ensured if you cut your toenails at nightThe evil eye is an important talisman in Jewish and Muslim culturesThe meaning behind your birthstone can predict your personalityRabbits hold significance in some Asian and Indigenous culturesFinding a husband in Nebraska is as simple as 99 horses, a white mule, and a handshakeEating twelve grapes on New Year's Eve in Spain and Central and South America can bring forth prosperity Beautiful illustrations further challenge the images your mind may have already held about the beliefs you instinctively carry throughout your life. You will be continually surprised and delighted by how superstitions not only define the bedrock of a culture but also demonstrate the nuanced ways in which we are all connected. Unlock a world of wonders in The Encyclopedia of Curious Rituals and Superstitions. The Wonderpedia series offers comprehensive, display-worthy illustrated references on a range of intriguing topics, including archeological discoveries, world mythology, pop culture, global superstitions, and the fascinating stories behind signs and symbols. A cross-cultural exploration of what makes humans tick, this series magnifies the connective threads between us across time and geography and demystifies the surprising, confounding sides of life., Explore the most fascinating superstitions from around the world and marvel at the impact they have on our present-day lives.

- e***a (272)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufOrdered from USA and arrived to me in UK about 10 days later. Book appropriately packaged and mostly as described. Was missing the cd as listed but communication with the seller was friendly and polite if not a little confusing - partial refunds are only offered after you start the formal eBay return request process, they aren't capable of giving refunds after simple messaging to customer service. All in all though, great value and a positive transaction. Would interact again 👍
- e***- (123)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufUnfortunately I received a damaged book, the item and the package both were damaged and it was clearly evident its appearance that it happened during transit. The seller was very understanding and gave me a full refund for the damaged book, though it was no fault of their own. Other than the damage, the book was as described, the quality and condition aside from the damaged spot was like new. The cost of the book was reasonable. I would definitely purchase from the seller again.
