Bibliography:
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Contents:
"This book, the first and most popular of four volumes, is a marvellous and indispensable treasury of
Scottish
folklore and folk belief fromthe world of Celtic magic, gods and fairies, to the prophecies of the Brahan seer, second sight, witchcraft, earth magic, selkies, changelings and a host of traditional spells and cures. The
Silver
Bough
involved many years of research into both living and recorded folklore. Its genisis lies perhaps in the author's need to reconcile the old primitive world she had glimpsed in her Orkney childhood, with the sophisticated modern world she later entered."--P. [4] of cover.
