Description

This comprehensive exploration examines the cultural significance of spirits across diverse societies and historical periods, revealing how humans interact with and seek to influence spiritual entities. Through case studies ranging from the vengeful Zulu spirits that punish wrongdoing with lightning strikes to the benevolent Puebloan Kachina that bring prosperity and rain, the book demonstrates humanity's persistent attempts to cooperate with or counteract spirits for healing, divination, and resource acquisition. Drawing on anthropological research and global examples, this Springer publication investigates what spirits want, their role in addressing physical and spiritual ailments, and the fundamental human need to bridge the material and spiritual worlds.
