En savoir plus sur le livre

Focusing on the unique custom of coin-trees, this book explores the evolution of ritual landscapes in the British Isles from religious practices to modern recreational activities. Coin-trees, where coins are embedded for magical purposes, have roots in folk medicine dating back to the 1700s. Today, with over 200 such trees across the region, the practice resembles the casual act of tossing coins into wishing wells. Ceri Houlbrook examines the historical interplay between religion, ritual, and popular magic from 1700 to the present.
