What is the book about? Before traditional medicine emerged, it was believed that diseases, ailments, and injuries were caused by demons and the devil himself. An affliction could also be cast upon someone by a witch through a curse. This gave rise to superstitions, rituals, prayers, and exorcisms aimed at driving away evil forces. Henryk Biegeleisen intertwines Slavic demonology with Christian faith, mythology, and age-old beliefs passed down through generations, revealing the practices used in healing. He explains spells, prayers, and charms, emphasizing that the power of words—often seemingly insignificant—held immense strength, such as “Abracadabra.” Why was jaundice treated with yellow objects, and why was dog hair applied to a dog's bite wound? What led to the belief that eating calf lungs would cure lung diseases? Did consuming the most repulsive concoctions truly scare away illness, causing it to flee the sick? Polish folk healing attempts to answer these and many more questions.
