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.

It secures their cattle, they say, from an evil eye, from being elfshot by fairies," &c The sap of the ash, tapped on certain days in spring, is drunk in Germany as a remedy for the bites of serpents; and the Czecks in Bohemia eat honey (of which ash-sap is the equivalent) fasting, on Holy Thursday, thinking that it will protect them throughout the year against the usual effects of such accidents, as well as against poisons in general. They also give their cattle pieces of bread and honey for the same purpose, and throw some before sunrise into the wells and fountains, in order that the water may remain pure and clear, and free from frogs and other vermin, -f-In Cornwall, venomous reptiles are never known to rest under the shadow of an ash, and a single blow from an ash stick is instant death to an adder. Struck by a bough of any other tree, the reptile is said to retain marks of life until the sun goes down, j According to Pliny, a serpent will rather leap into fire than into the shadow of an ash-tree.
