Household Lore: Folklore, Traditions and Remedies For Every Room in Your Home [9781786789778]

Overview

A perfect gift, this fun illustrated book will take you room by room to discover global traditions, remedies, folklore and rituals hiding in your house.

Uncover the folklore and rituals hiding in your own home.

Did you know that planting holly may deter lightning strikes, evil spirits might be spooked by a hot cross bun, and gifting soap can end a friendship? Open this book for a tour around the traditions that lurk under the stairs, inside the cracks and behind every cobweb in our homes.

In every culture, folklore is passed down the generations, helping us protect our sacred spaces, and offering advice should we knock a fork off the table or yearn to dabble in some doorway divination. With each chapter dedicated to a different room, learn how to navigate your home with harmony:

• Discover how your roof can predict the future and what to do should a witch land on it.
• Tiptoe into the bedroom and uncover what the ancients had to say about aphrodisiacs and how to escape supernatural interference while asleep.
• Sit down in the dining room and lift the lid on unsavoury indigestion remedies and old-wife-approved hangover cures.

From the rafters to the cellar steps, from the garden path to the kitchen cupboard – your home is chock-full of folklore waiting to be revealed.
