Ancient Cures, Charms And Usages of Ireland

Lady Wilde’s Ancient Cures, Charms and Usages of Ireland is a haunting treasury of folk medicine, magical rites, and superstitious practices preserved from Ireland’s shadowed past. With the care of a folklorist and the voice of a poet, Lady Wilde—mother of Oscar Wilde—captures traditions that had survived for centuries in whispers, rituals, and the secrets of rural life.

In these pages are spells of healing and protection, charms against misfortune, and rites entwined with ancient pagan belief and Christian faith. Remedies drawn from herbs, incantations, and ritual practice reveal the mystical worldview of Ireland’s countryside, where unseen forces shaped daily existence and survival depended as much on magic as on medicine.

Part folklore collection, part occult record, Ancient Cures, Charms and Usages of Ireland preserves the last echoes of a world where every illness had a hidden cause, and every cure carried the weight of tradition and mystery.
