Book excerpt: Curiosities of Indo-European Tradition and Folk-lore (1863) was historian Walter Keating Kelly's one and only book on mythology, and it sought to popularize for English-speaking audiences the exciting new science of mythology being developed in Germany. The author was particularly taken with German Sanskrit scholar Adalbert Kuhn's idea that the earliest Indo-European myths were associated primarily with thunder and lightning. Today, Keating's book remains the most important and influential English language source for Kuhn's ideas, as his works were not translated into English in his own time. Keating, however, did more than report the German findings; he illustrated and expanded upon them with incidents from English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish lore. Consequently, the Curiosities is a treasure-house of comparative mythology and folklore, recording hundreds of myths and legends, famous and obscure. In these pages are stories of the sun and of storms, of werewolves and the Wild Hunt, of witches and wishing rods.The Curiosities was extremely influential in its time, widely-cited in Victorian scholarship and widely read among both scholars and the general public, who were fascinated by its expert explication of obscure myths and legends. It is widely believed to have been instrumental in stimulating the collection of British folklore, and it remains a foundational text for the study of Indo-European mythology and folklore. This edition is an unabridged republication of the 1863 first edition published by Chapman and Hall.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Popular Religion and Folk-Lore of Northern India, Vol. 2 of 2 The real fact seems to be that in most cases the Evil Eye is the result of covetousness.2 Thus, a man blind of an eye, no matter how well-disposed he may be, is almost certain to envy a person blessed with a peculiarly good pair of eyes. But if the blind man's attention be distracted by something conspicuous in the appearance of the other, such as lamp black on his eyelids, a mole, or a scar, the feeling of dissatis faction, which is fatal to the complete effect of the envious glance, is certain to arise. This theory that the glance may be neutralized or avoided by some blot or imperfection is the basis of many of the popular remedies or prophylactics invented with the object of averting its in uence.
