Description
Specifications
This book is a systematic record of the popular rituals, beliefs, and customary practices of Crete.
By popular rituals, the author refers to the customary actions associated with folk worship, expressed through various manifestations and symbols throughout the cycle of time. It represents a poetic and scientific approach to folk culture and the folk soul, documented through multi-layered research and impressive photographic material, mainly taken by the author himself during field studies.
However, the book gains broader interest for the entirety of Greek culture, as it provides material for a more comprehensive approach to similar or parallel customary practices of the Greek and broader Mediterranean area.
