Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the captivating realm of Norfolk's folklore, customs, and traditions, offering a glimpse into the lives and beliefs of our ancestors. The author explores a rich tapestry of practices and superstitions surrounding significant life events ââ â birth, marriage, and death. From the rituals associated with childbirth and baptism to the curious charms and omens of courtship and marriage, the book unveils a world where folklore intertwines with everyday life. Readers will discover the significance of 'going up in the world before going down' for newborns, the importance of choosing the right day to cut a baby's nails, and the belief in the protective power of a caul. The author also delves into the fascinating world of love divination, revealing the secrets of spells, charms, and omens used by young women seeking to glimpse their future husbands. Marriage customs, including the tradition of the elder sister dancing in a pig trough if her younger sister marries first, are explored, along with superstitions surrounding wedding days and the significance of the nuptial kiss. The book concludes with a look at the numerous omens and portents associated with death and burial, including the belief in the 'limp corpse' as a harbinger of another death in the family, the practice of informing bees of their owner's passing, and the superstitions surrounding burial on the north side of the church. By examining these beliefs and practices, the author sheds light on the enduring power of folklore and its ability to shape our understanding of the world around us.
