Contents include: The Magic of the Horseshoe - Fortune and Luck - Folklore of Common Salt - Omens of Sneezing - Days of Good and Evil Omen - Superstitious Dealings with Animals - Luck of Odd Numbers etc. Many of the earliest occult books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.
