Witchcraft & Second Sight in the Highlands & Islands of Scotland
Tales and Traditions Collected Entirely from Oral Sources
Witchcraft and Second Sight in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland gathers tales and traditions that John Gregorson Campbell, minister of the island of Tiree, collected entirely from oral sources; it was published in 1902, after his death. Campbell records the black witchcraft that spoiled milk, raised storms and turned witches into hares, cats and gulls; the white witchcraft of charms against the evil eye, sprains, toothache and danger; second sight and its omens; and Gaelic beliefs about days of the week, the moon and the weather. The book preserves a world of belief that was fading as he wrote. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
