Словарь русских суеверий, заклинаний, примет и поверий

A unique dictionary of the study of folk wisdom - Russian superstitions and beliefs from ancient times to the present day. The book will serve not only as an interesting reading, but also as a kind of life textbook "for old and young".

The authors set themselves the task of creating an ingenuous textbook of folk life, where they play, sparkle, beat over the edge and centuries-old wisdom, and sharp observation that has not dulled over time, where simple-hearted peasant magic coexists with the sophistication of European, superficial, evil witchcraft.

Although the dictionary is not only about the past. It also looks to the future. It is not in vain that it is said: “Remember the old days: whoever lived under it will remember you.” And one more thing: “He has trouble on his nose who does not honor and does not listen to old people.”
