Cures and Curses - Ritual & Cult at Holy Wells

Janet Bord

Why are some wells said to be miraculously created by saints? Why are the rituals associated with them sometimes about divination or cursing? What evidence is there for the water curing illnesses? What should be left there - rags, pins, coins, pebbles or even votive offerings? Cures and Curses provides an enticing overview for those looking for an introduction to holy wells and a source of reliable but little-known information for those already seduced by the allure of sacred springs.
