Acerca de esta escucha

There is a little-known tradition of witch lore in Newfoundland culture. Those believed to have the power to influence the fortunes of others are not mythological characters but neighbors, relations, or even friends.

Drawing from her own interviews and a wealth of material from the Memorial University Folklore and Language Archive, Barbara Rieti explores the range and depth of Newfoundland witch tradition, looking at why certain people acquired reputations as witches, and why others considered themselves bewitched. The tales that emerge - despite their seemingly fantastic elements of spells and black heart books, hags, and healing charms - concern everyday affairs and reveal the intense social interdependence central to outport life. Frequently featuring women, they provide fascinating new perspectives on female coping strategies in a volatile economy.

By addressing the perennial human issues at the heart of witchcraft - construction of enmity and intertwined fate - these narrative accounts also illuminate older witch beliefs revealed in witchcraft trial documents. Making Witches shows that in storytelling communities with a rich legacy of witch lore, witch tradition has endured well into the twentieth century.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Making Witches is beautifully written and accessible to a broad audience. It could easily be used in introductory folklore classes and those on the anthropology of religion, to illustrate how seemingly incomprehensible belief systems operate in contexts more ordinary and close to home.” — Sabina Magliocco, California State University, Northridge

“Full of information, and unique information at that, in subject, research method, and contextualization.” — Newfoundland Quarterly

“Making Witches is marvellously well-written, engagingly organized and full of fascinating material. I loved this book.” — Pauline Greenhill, Women’s Studies, University of Winnipeg

This book is a fantastic history of early Canadian magic! The interviews and testimonials are very informative. My mother is from Newfoundland and told me many stories of witchcraft and fairies from her childhood!!!
This is a great book!
