Reading through the latest Folklore Thursday contributions I'm once again filled with a strange sense of loss b/c we have to interpret some practices as warding off 'evil spirits' and it's a shame we can't get more particular than that. I wish I could know the *specifics* of it
Hmmm interesting. So much folklore often gets explanations like that after the fact but their true origins are possibly much stranger, or perhaps much more banal.
