Prima edizione
Trade Paperback. Condizione: New. First Edition. New! 'In the countryside of 19th and early 20th century Sweden, folklorists traveled the land recording a wide variety of folk beliefs and practices. Some of these recordings demonstrate a belief in ancient gods, supernatural beings, and personified plants helping or hindering humanity. For example, the goddess Fröja visits on a winter night to shake apple trees, beneath an evergreen oak lives a white serpent that grants wisdom when consumed, and an offering of braided straw should be made to a field god to ensure a bountiful harvest. Translated and discussed by Swedish folklorist Sara Bonadea George and introduced by legendary folklorist John Lindow, this beautiful and fully illustrated window into a world now gone is unlike anything before it.' ~ Publisher.

Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Flowers of Blood is a fascinating exploration of the folklore of plants in pre-industrial Sweden. Through a deep dive into the world of the enchanted flora of northern Europe, the author evokes a dreamlike borderland where the numinous is thought to dwell and where each plant and tree is filled with hidden meanings, arcane knowledge and mysterious powers. Imbued in a deep animistic worldview, the natural environment of the rural folk presented is alive with spirits and supernatural beings. Here, we encounter the Underworld Dwellers, the Devil, Naecken (the water sprite), Skogsraet (the forest sprite), Hyllefroa (the elder tree spirit) and biblical figures like Cain, Judas Iscariot and Maria, in evocative plant and tree folk legends. Through in-depth researches in the archives of Uppsala and Stockholm and older local historic books, Sara Bonadea George presents, for the first time in English, a body of lore that remains little known at present even in Sweden.Acclaimed by scholars and herbalists alike, Flowers of Blood offers a deep exploration of the ways in which folklore serves as a vital link between past and present, preserving Sweden's rich botanical, magical, cultural traditions.The book is richly illustrated with photos from museum archives and illustrations of skilfully chosen artists.The text is accompanied by a short story and poem by Per Faxneld, Associate Professor in History of Religions and author of several books on the history of esotericism.__ContentsThe Tree of Cain - A Poem by Per FaxneldFlora of Enchantment.
