Beskrivelse af Magic in Names and other Things
""Magic in Names and other Things"" is a book written by Edward Clodd that explores the power and significance of names and words in various cultures and civilizations throughout history. The author delves into the concept of magic and how it has been associated with naming practices, such as the use of secret or sacred names in religious rituals and the belief that certain names have the ability to bring good luck or ward off evil spirits. Clodd also examines the role of names in literature and mythology, highlighting the importance of naming characters and places in creating a sense of identity and meaning. The book is a fascinating exploration of the cultural significance of names and words and their enduring power in shaping our understanding of the world around us.1920.
