Produktinformationen zu „Charms, Charmers and Charming in Ireland / New Approaches to Celtic Religion and Mythology (ePub)“

This is the first book to examine the full range of the evidence for Irish charms, from medieval to modern times. As Ireland has one of the oldest literatures in Europe, and also one of the most comprehensively recorded folklore traditions, it affords a uniquely rich body of evidence for such an investigation. The collection includes surveys of broad aspects of the subject (charm scholarship, charms in medieval tales, modern narrative charms, nineteenth-century charm documentation); dossiers of the evidence for specific charms (a headache charm, a nightmare charm, charms against bleeding); a study comparing the curses of saints with those of poets; and an account of a newly discovered manuscript of a toothache charm. The practices of a contemporary healer are described on the basis of recent fieldwork, and the connection between charms and storytelling is foregrounded in chapters on the textual amulet known as the Leabhar Eoin, on the belief that witches steal butter, and on the nature of the belief that effects supernatural cures.

Autoren-Porträt

This book will appeal to various specialist readerships, as well as to lay readers. The specialist constituencies will be scholars of medieval Irish, scholars of Irish folklore, and scholars of charms and magic more generally. The interdisciplinary inherent in the collection will contribute to its broad appeal, also internationally. Another possible readership might wish to learn about alternative medical practices, whether or not rooted in western traditions.
