<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Although Portugal and its islands the Acores and Madeira are considered predominately Catholic, many of the beliefs and practices so intertwined in everyday life are the result of many non-Catholic influences. In particular with the islands of the Acores and Madeira, as is the case with so many island civilizations, a blending of natural folk magic and superstitions occurs, and syncretism becomes a basis for the way of life. This book provides a brief historical, sociological, and hands-on introduction to the practices many first generation Portuguese or Luso-Americans recall their grandparents speaking of. You will walk away with a better understanding of the make-up of the people, as well as a few magical practices, folk remedies, and traditional recipes to call your own.
