En savoir plus sur le livre

Exploring the deep roots of Western European mythology, this work reveals how beings like werewolves, witches, and fairies connect to ancient beliefs predating Christianity. Claude Lecouteux delves into Germano-Scandinavian myths, uncovering the concept of three souls, particularly the Double, which can leave the body and explore realms beyond. He examines historical accounts of this phenomenon, highlighting the experiences of both involuntary individuals and witches who manipulated it, ultimately illustrating a complex view of our world and the supernatural.
