Overview
Did you know that if you drop a spoon, someone will kiss you soon? Did you ever hear that three spiders crawling on the wall are a sign that you will soon hear of a death? Or did you know that if rabbits play in a dusty road, rain is on its way? These beliefs are all part of the folk customs of various groups across North America. Folk Customs will tell you more, including: love and marriage customs; pregnancy and birth customs; death and funeral customs; ways to predict the future; weather lore; farming customs; good luck superstitions. Folklore is expressed through customs and traditions, patterns that shape human reality. Even in the modern, mechanized world, human beings still depend on these ancient ways of bringing order to life's chaos.Book Details
