There is another concept of "why bad things happen" that probably predates the theory that there is one centralized source of evil. This is, to use a computer anology, a peer-to-peer theory of evil. The evil eye is a widespread belief that unlucky events can ensue if you attract the attention of particular people. These people, sometimes involuntarily, sometimes voluntarily, can cast a malignant spell on others simply by looking at them. This lavishly illustrated work is the classic study of this superstition. Starting with a mass of anecdotes from contemporary observations in Italy and rural England, Elworthy, using all of his skills as a folklorist and etymologist, delves deeper. He gives examples of the belief on a world-wide basis and far back in time, to classical paganism and beyond. He also elaborates all of the methods that have been used to ward off the jettatura, including talismans, spells, spitting, hand gestures and many others.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Horns of Honor: And Other Studies in the By-Ways of Archeology is a book published in 1900 by Frederick Thomas Elworthy. The book is a collection of essays that explore the lesser-known aspects of archaeology, particularly the use of horns and antlers in ancient cultures. Elworthy examines the symbolism and significance of these objects in various cultures, including the Celts, Greeks, and Norse. He also delves into the use of horns in hunting, music, and religious rituals. The book is a fascinating look at the intersection of art, religion, and history, and provides a unique perspective on the role of horns and antlers in human culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.…
