This book delves deeply into a peculiar historical medical practice: inserting or passing oneself through openings like tree trunks or holes in the ground for the purpose of healing. The author, an accomplished folklorist, reveals the widespread nature of this ritual, tracing its roots to ancient times and diverse cultures, from European folk medicine to Native American traditions. By examining customs and beliefs that may seem bizarre to modern readers, the author sheds light on the fascinating evolution of medical practices and the enduring human belief in the power of ritual healing. Ultimately, this book offers a unique perspective on the complex interplay between culture, medicine, and the human experience of illness and healing.
