Book Summary

The Encyclopedia of Superstitions is a comprehensive reference work that explores thousands of beliefs, omens, rituals, and folk traditions from cultures around the world. Organized alphabetically, the book explains common and obscure superstitions related to everyday life—such as numbers, animals, dreams, luck, marriage, birth, death, weather, and travel. Each entry traces the historical or cultural origins of these beliefs and explains how they have been practiced or interpreted over time.

Rather than promoting superstition, the book offers insight into why such beliefs arise and how they reflect human fears, hopes, and attempts to understand the unknown. It highlights the shared patterns found in global folklore, showing how similar superstitions appear across different societies. Accessible and engaging, the encyclopedia serves as both an educational resource and an entertaining exploration of humanity’s fascination with luck, fate, and symbolism.
