Communicating with the Spirits

Back Cover

The essays collected in this volume come from a broader pool of studies. This is the first volume in a series of three, containing eleven essays of altogether forty-three articles based on the topics of the interdisciplinary conference held on "Demons, spirits, and witches" in Budapest. Historians, ethnologists, and folklorists from four continents presented and discussed their research on this important area of universal human mental experience: the forms and the techniques of communication with representatives of other worlds, and the basic religious –ethnological concepts used for making sense from this experience . The authors present their latest research findings of an important area of universal human mental experiences and techniques and basic religious–ethnological concepts.
