Descrizione
In a captivating exploration of folklore and spirituality, the work delves into the enchanting yet often overlooked entities that exist at the edges of Christianity. Michael Ostling illuminates the myriad tales of fairies, demons, and nature spirits, each weaving a tapestry of belief and mystique that has long captured the human imagination.
As readers journey through this richly detailed account, they will discover how these beings reflect the fears, hopes, and cultural nuances of societies that grappled with the boundaries of faith. The thoughtful analysis encourages a deepened appreciation for the nuanced interplay between established religion and the vibrant, lesser-known spiritual traditions that flourish in its shadows.
