Looking for the Hidden Folk: How Iceland's Elves Can Save the Earth (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BTFJNFMP | 2023 | 8 hours and 25 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 229 MB
Author: Nancy Marie Brown
Narrator: Ann Richardson
Icelanders believe in elves. Why does that make you laugh?, asks Nancy Marie Brown, in this wonderfully quirky exploration of our interaction with nature. Looking for answers in history, science, religion, and art-from ancient times to today-Brown finds that each discipline defines what is real and unreal, natural and supernatural, demonstrated and theoretical, alive and inert. Each has its own way of perceiving and valuing the world around us. And each discipline defines what an Icelander might call an elf. Illuminated by her own encounters with Iceland's Otherworld-in ancient lava fields, on a holy mountain, beside a glacier or an erupting volcano, crossing the cold desert at the island's heart on horseback-Looking for the Hidden Folk offers an intimate conversation about how we look at and find value in nature. It reveals how the words we use and the stories we tell shape the world we see. It argues that our beliefs about the Earth will preserve-or destroy it.

Richard L.T. Orth, "Folk Religion of the Pennsylvania Dutch: Witchcraft, Faith Healing and Related Practices"
English | ISBN: 1476672261 | 2018 | 269 pages | EPUB | 12 MB
For almost three centuries, the "Pennsylvania Dutch"-descended from German immigrants-have practiced white magic, known in their dialect as Braucherei (from the German "brauchen," to use) or Powwowing. The tradition was brought by immigrants from the Rhineland and Switzerland in the 17th and 18th centuries, when they settled in Pennsylvania and in other areas of what is now the eastern United States and Canada. Practitioners draw on folklore and tradition dating to the turn of the 19th century, when healers like Mountain Mary-canonized as a saint for her powers-arrived in the New World. The author, a member of the Pennsylvania Dutch community, describes in detail the practices, culture and history of faith healers and witches.
