In this riveting book, author T. Sharper Knowlson delves into the ambiguous, yet fascinating world of the superstitions and customs that have evolved over time and still persist today. April Fool's Day, Christening ships, wedding rings and bride cake are among the many customs discussed, in addition to the origins of palmistry, astrology and witchcraft. First published in 1930, this book remains highly relevant today. Despite progress in cold scientific knowledge and a hardening belief in the material world, the popularity of the clairvoyant and astrologer is undiminished, as is the power that the irrational mind exerts over mankind.
