Ancient Cures, Charms, and Usages of Ireland – Lady Wilde – Softcover, 5″ x 8″, 180 pages This is a brand-new book, reproduction of a book published in 1890 Irish customs also resemble the Hebrew in many things; for all nations have preserved fragments of the one primal creed, and have many elements in common as regards religious beliefs and ritual. The Jews borrowed from Egypt, as the Egyptians borrowed from Babylon and Chaldea. Thus the creeds, symbols, and usages of all the early nations have a certain basis of identity. The Irish, however, have retained more of the ancient superstitions than any other European people, and hold to them with a reverential belief that cannot be shaken by any amount of modern philosophic teaching. They are also, perhaps, indebted to Egypt for the wonderful knowledge of the power of herbs, which has always characterized the Irish, both among the adepts and the peasants. “The tail of a black cat, if rubbed over the eye, will effect a speedy cure. It is good, also, to point nine thorns in succession at the eye, without touching it, throwing away each one after use over the left shoulder” (Cure for a Stye) Please NOTE Please check the pictures – what you see is what you get.
