内容の説明

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.
