Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the customs and ceremonies of gypsies, this collection delves into practices like fortune-telling, witch doctoring, and love philtering, enriched with personal anecdotes and lesser-known sources. It reflects a growing interest in ethnology and folklore, challenging previous half-hearted beliefs in magic. The text suggests that modern understandings of hypnotism and memory reveal deeper truths about human potential, bridging the gap between science and the mystique of magic, and inviting readers to reconsider what is deemed miraculous in our reality.
