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.

Discover how: Celtic fairies are behind our compulsion to knock on wood Norse mythology is responsible for our fear of the number 13 Taylor Swift finds the number 13 to be lucky A quick death in Japan is thought to be ensured if you cut your toenails at night The evil eye is an important talisman in Jewish and Muslim cultures The meaning behind your birthstone can predict your personality Rabbits hold significance in some Asian and Indigenous cultures Finding a husband in Nebraska is as simple as 99 horses, a white mule, and a handshake Eating 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
