A perfect gift, this fun illustrated book will take you room by room to discover global traditions, remedies, folklore and rituals hiding in your house. Uncover the folklore and rituals hiding in your own home. Did you know that planting holly may deter lightning strikes, evil spirits might be spooked by a hot cross bun, and gifting soap can end a friendship? Open this book for a tour around the traditions that lurk under the stairs, inside the cracks and behind every cobweb in our homes. In every culture, folklore is passed down the generations, helping us protect our sacred spaces, and offering advice should we knock a fork off the table or yearn to dabble in some doorway divination. With each chapter dedicated to a different room, learn how to navigate your home with harmony:
From the rafters to the cellar steps, from the garden path to the kitchen cupboard - your home is chock-full of folklore waiting to be revealed.
