Today, the unusual and unexpected are still often regarded as prophetic signs or omens,and modern societies retain the need to connect dramatic events with a preceding `warning'. This book traces the origins of superstition and in doing so discovers a strong relationship between animism,magic and the imagination.
This is a fascinating,lucid journey through the history and compleity of the human mind,with its overwhelming desire to presage the future and make sense of the past.
