Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Animal and Plant Lore This Memoir is a continuation of a collection begun in the volume entitled "Current Superstitions." The latter, which in 1896 appeared as the Fourth Memoir of the American Folk-Lore Society, may be considered as volume i. and the latter as volume ii. of the same work, and they are so referred to in the Notes, and in the common Index which appears at the end of this book. The earlier collection deals almost entirely with beliefs not of a zoological or botanical nature, while the later one comprises only the folk-lore of animals and plants. In the chapter on the causes and cure of warts, contained in "Current Superstitions," many items are recorded which might more logically have been retained for insertion in the part now issued, had it not at the time seemed advisable to make the chapter as complete as possible. In the preface to "Current Superstitions" there was narrated somewhat in detail the history of the collection of the material composing the chapters in that volume, as well as that catalogued in the present gathering of animal and plant lore. Not wishing to repeat, I may here merely mention that, with the exception of some half dozen items, the various superstitions, customs, and beliefs herein recorded have been collected entirely by verbal tradition, not from literary sources. Much has been noted directly from oral narration; the rest of the subject-matter of this volume has been obtained by correspondence. When a locality is wanting, my informant could not give one but was familiar with what was communicated. From many of the most fruitful localities for interesting folk-lore, it has not been possible to collect, or at best only an occasional stray item. In the less densely populated parts of the Southern States, in secluded parts of Canada, also in some of the very isolated New England villages and hamlets among the hills, I am convinced abundant fields await the sickle of the harvester of folk-lore.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars in folklore and anthropology are more directly involved in various aspects of medicine—such as medical education, clinical pastoral care, and negotiation of transcultural issues—than ever before. Old models of investigation that artificially isolated "folk medicine," "complementary and alternative medicine," and "biomedicine" as mutually exclusive have proven too limited in exploring the real-life complexities of health belief systems as they observably exist and are applied by contemporary Americans. Recent research strongly suggests that individuals construct their health belief systmes from diverse sources of authority, including community and ethnic tradition, education, spiritual beliefs, personal experience, the influence of popular media, and perception of the goals and means of formal medicine. Healing Logics explores the diversity of these belief systems and how they interact—in competing, conflicting, and sometimes remarkably congruent ways. This book contains essays by leading scholars in the field and a comprehensive bibliography of folklore and medicine.

Download or read book Conjure in African American Society written by Jeffrey E. Anderson and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From black sorcerers' client-based practices in the antebellum South to the postmodern revival of hoodoo and its tandem spiritual supply stores, the supernatural has long been a key component of the African American experience. What began as a mixture of African, European, and Native American influences within slave communities finds expression today in a multimillion dollar business. In Conjure in African American Society, Jeffrey E. Anderson unfolds a fascinating story as he traces the origins and evolution of conjuring practices across the centuries. Though some may see the study of conjure as a perpetuation of old stereotypes that depict blacks as bound to superstition, the truth, Anderson reveals, is far more complex. Drawing on folklore, fiction and nonfiction, music, art, and interviews, he explores various portrayals of the conjurer -- backward buffoon, rebel against authority, and symbol of racial pride. He also examines the actual work performed by conjurers, including the use of pharmacologically active herbs to treat illness, psychology to ease mental ailments, fear to bring about the death of enemies and acquittals at trials, and advice to encourage clients to succeed on their own. By critically examining the many influences that have shaped conjure over time, Anderson effectively redefines magic as a cultural power, one that has profoundly touched the arts, black Christianity, and American society overall.

Download or read book Dictionary of Plant Lore written by D.C. Watts and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2007-05-02 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge of plant names can give insight into largely forgotten beliefs. For example, the common red poppy is known as "Blind Man" due to an old superstitious belief that if the poppy were put to the eyes it would cause blindness. Many plant names derived from superstition, folk lore, or primal beliefs. Other names are purely descriptive and can serve to explain the meaning of the botanical name. For example, Beauty-Berry is the name given to the American shrub that belongs to the genus Callicarpa. Callicarpa is Greek for beautiful fruit. Still other names come from literary sources providing rich detail of the transmission of words through the ages.Conceived as part of the author's wider interest in plant and tree lore and ethnobotanical studies, this fully revised edition of Elsevier's Dictionary of Plant Names and Their Origins contains over 30,000 vernacular and literary English names of plants. Wild and cultivated plants alike are identified by the botanical name. Further detail provides a brief account of the meaning of the name and detailed commentary on common usage. * Includes color images * Inclusive of all Latin terms with vernacular derivatives * The most comprehensive guide for plant scientists, linguists, botanists, and historians
