The Essential Bible Stories Everyone Needs to Know

"For the expert investigation of the human will to believe, we recommend The Encyclopedia of Superstitions."--The New York TimesDo you avoid walking under a ladder, or touch wood to ward off misfortune? It may not be logical, but underlying these irrational beliefs are centuries of long-forgotten ways of thought--and many affect us still. This classic and thoroughly delightful reference explores the origins of hundreds of superstitions, and many of the entries read like short stories in themselves. Here are the charms once in daily use in dairy and kitchen; spells used by witches--and against them; fairy lore and legend; folk remedies and customs of birth, marriage, and death. You'll discover why it's unlucky in some countries for a person to reveal his age; why ships have long been fitted with figureheads; why lettuce was believed to possess magical properties; and why a child born after its father's death was said to have healing powers. This is truly a collection to muse over...but expect an occasional chill down the spine.

Okkultisti Aleister Crowleyn pornograafinen runokokoelma.Aleister Crowley / Edited with a Prolegmenon by Martin P. Starr:Snowdrops from a Curate's Garden"Crowley's most infamous pornographic work. Snowdrops from a Curate's Garden is a collection of obscene stories, with accompanying obscene poems. All sorts of sexual scenes are presented, some quite taboo, but the intent is less to sexually titillate the reader than it is to shock his or her sensibilities through extremes of filth. This Aleister Crowley's project written under the pseudonym "George Archibald Bishop" was first published in Paris in 1904. It was apparently written by Crowley with the intention of penning the most ridiculously extreme sexual fantasy ever produced - for the edification of his wife Rose. Most copies of the first edition (circa 1904) were destroyed by British Customs."The Teitan Press. 1986. First Edition. Hardcover with Dust jacket. Octavo. xxiv + 198 pp. White cloth with gilt title, etc. to spine, gilt facsimile signature on front cover. Condition: Very Good; Dust jacket slightly worn.
