Visions and Beliefs in the West of Irelandby Lady Augusta GregoryThis material collected over a period of more than twenty years proved to be a valuable source not only for Gregory's own plays but also for Yeats' work. A classic, it presents many aspects of the supernatural seers, healers, charms, banshees, forths, the evil eye and contains a treasure trove of Irish folk-beliefs from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.There was a woman below in that village where I lived to my grief and my sorrow, and she used to be throwing the evil eye, but she is in the poorhouse now - Mrs. Boylan her name is. Four she threw it on, not children but big men, and they lost the walk and all, and died. Maybe she didn't know she had it, but it is no load to any one to say God bless you.For additional information on publishing your books on iPhone and iPad please visit www.AppsPublisher.com Digital Content>E-books>Social Sciences>Sociology>Sociology, Apps Publisher Digital >16<
