The Dream-Hunters of Corsica by Dorothy Carrington
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 318KB
Overview: Corsica: a wild, intransigent land isolated by sea and mountains.
Here are the mazzeri, dream-hunters who can foresee death.
At night they go hunting — or dream they do — and kill an animal in the face of which they recognise the face of a living person. Once pinpointed by the dream-hunter, that person will not have long to live.
Unlike the mazzeri, the signadori are guardians of life, practising folk medicine, securing release from the curse of the ‘Evil Eye’ and casting spells infused with light and hope.
With characteristic elegance and clarity, Dorothy Carrington investigates these extraordinary phenomena, unique forms of magic which probably date from prehistoric times. The Dream-Hunters of Corsica provides a fascinating insight into a forgotten corner of civilisation, where the occult has retained its everyday place as an explanation of the mysteries of life and death.
