I am trying to compile a bibliography of references to examples of artifacts
interpreted as the product of European American conjuration or folk religion
beliefs and practices. Please send me any references of which you are aware
by replying off-list to [log in to unmask]
I am aware of references such as Marshall Becker's articles on English witch
bottles, Mathew Johnson's discussion of that topic, Merrifield's text on the
Archaeology of Ritual and Magic, the folklore studies of Hyatt, Hand and
Yoder, and the recent thread on this list concerning architectural
concealments and house charms. Any other references would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks very much!
