From the Book Jacket:
This book presents the studies of 18 renowned researchers of the verbal aspects of everyday magic, focusing on the richest and most poetic manifestations of verbal magic – the charm or incantation.
Verbal charm is a prevalent folklore genre, containing very old magical elements.
The studies cover a wide spectrum of countries, from the United Kingdom to Russia and Iran.
The researchers have devoted their attention to phenomenological and theoretical studies of incantations and have discussed various topics, from the origin of charms and ancient European magical practices to the reception and diffusion of different types of charms.
