Unlock the Mysteries of Verbal Magic in Literature and Folklore
Discover the fascinating world of ancient incantations and modern literary enchantments with Alexey Korovashko’s monograph, From Investigations into Verbal Magic in Literature and Folklore. This scholarly work delves deep into the study of charms and spells, drawing from a rich tapestry of authentic folklore records, written sources, and literary masterpieces. Korovashko explores the intricate blend of archaic healer and sorcerer culture with ancient esoteric practices, Western European occult doctrines, and Russian mystical sectarianism.
The author meticulously analyzes the complex interplay between East Slavic folk traditions and later artistic constructs, shaped by evolving individual and collective perceptions of ritual magic and witchcraft across different historical eras. By consulting folklore-ethnographic archives and the latest publications, Korovashko traces the origins of several spell texts that have actively functioned in Russian culture for over two centuries.
This monograph is an invaluable resource for historians, philologists, folklorists, and anyone captivated by the living art of the spoken word. Price: 2831.00 RUR.
