Black Cats & Evil Eyes sets these superstitions in their historical and social context, explaining how fear of the Devil, demons, evil spirits, and witchcraft drove people to arm themselves with rituals and talismans to repel dark forces and allow them to live long and healthy lives. In examining many of our common superstitions, this book illuminates the customs, beliefs, and practices that link us to an ancient, and often darker, human past. Review: Cute and interesting book - I found this randomly in BAM one day and didnt get it at the time and regretted it like crazy so I finally got it on here and I was so happy I did. This book it such a fun quick read or just to read randomly if you're really interested in superstitions. I didn't know about half of these that's in this book. I really adore this book. I feel like it's good companion if you like witchy stuff. I know it doesnt really have anything to do with witches. I think it's a pretty informative book. I wouldn't mind having more books like this. I think would be a good coffee table book too.

It doesn't go into very much depth about each topic, but it makes a nice casual read. It can be read straight through, or you can skip around to what interests you. It has some simple illustrations. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/42817363-black-cats-and-evil-eyes-a-book-of-old-fashioned](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/42817363-black-cats-and-evil-eyes-a-book-of-old-fashioned) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-07-05*
