"Signs, Omens, and Superstitions" is technically a skeptic work from its era. While it provides an enormous number of individual tales and practices related to superstition, it technically spurns them all.The folklore here (for folklore it is) ranges from the animal, plant, and mineral, through the strictly philosophical. From good and bad luck to marriage, relationships, child rearing, and every other field, and from moles on the flesh to signs in dreams, Cielo's excellent work includes a bit of everything from dozens of cultures and thousands of years of history, for the reader to consider.
