Sinopsis

A long-treasured but forgotten classic of folk healing, with an introduction and commentary by the author of Backwoods Witchcraft and Doctoring the Devil.Ossman & Steel’s Guide to Health or Household Instructor (its original title) is a collection of spells, remedies, and charms. The book draws from the old Pennsylvania Dutch and German powwow healing practices that in turn helped shape Appalachian folk healing, conjure, rootwork, and many folk healing traditions in America. Jake Richards, author of Backwoods Witchcraft and Doctoring the Devil, puts these remedies in context, with practical advice for modern-day “backwoods” healers interested to use them today. The first part contains spells and charms for healing wounds, styes, broken bones, maladies, and illnesses of all sorts. The second part includes other folk remedies using ingredients based on sympathetic reasoning, including sulfuric acid, gunpowder, or other substances for swelling, toothache, headache, and so on. These remedies are presented here for historic interest, to help better understand how folk medicine evolved in America. It is Jake Richard’s hope that reintroducing this work will reestablish its position as a useful household helper in the library of every witch or country healer.

    ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
    In Blake Crouch’s “Upgrade,” the protagonist, Logan Ramsay, is a geneticist working for the Gene Protection Agency (G.P.A.). His world is shattered when a seemingly benign virus infects him, irrevocably altering his genetic makeup and enhancing his cognitive abilities to superhuman levels. This upgrade thrusts Logan into a race against time when he discovers that his estranged sister, Kara, is behind the virus and plans to unleash a transmissible version upon the world, believing it to be the only way to save humanity from itself. Logan must confront the ethical complexities of genetic engineering while battling his own internal struggles and facing the devastating consequences of his sister’s actions. The novel delves into the realms of science fiction and bio-thrillers, exploring themes of scientific responsibility, human evolution, and the potential for both progress and destruction that lie at the heart of our technological advancements.
