The Household Book of Charms and Omens: Victorian Myths, Fables, and Folklore

About this book

Discover how the language of magic endures within the ordinary rituals of our daily life. In the origin of old sayings or the turning of a coin for luck, these are quiet reminders that even the most familiar acts still bear the trace of enchantment.

The Household Book of Charms and Omens is a captivating exploration of the myths, superstitions, and domestic lore that bridge the boundary between the magical and the everyday. From the interpretation of dreams and the reading of omens to the lore of animals, plants, and household tokens, Samuel Adams Drake reveals the quiet persistence of old beliefs.

A classic of Victorian folklore and belief, The Household Book of Charms and Omens reminds us that even in the age of iron, steam, and progress, the world remained quietly magical.
