In particular with the islands of the Acores and Madeira, as is the case with so many island civilizations, a blending of natural folk magic and superstitions occurs, and syncretism becomes a basis for the way of life. This book provides a brief historical, sociological, and hands-on introduction to the practices many first generation Portuguese or Luso-Americans recall their grandparents speaking of. You will walk away with a better understanding of the make-up of the people, as well as a few magical practices, folk remedies, and traditional recipes to call your own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Darlene A.
