Herein Cory attempts to cram a semester’s worth of Intro to Folklore into a fifteen minute long YouTube video. Does he succeed? He covers definitions of “folk,” “folklore,” and “magic,” then looks at the different types of folklore and magic that beginners can study and how to approach them. And, of course, he gives a few book recommendations at the end, because he is utterly incorrigible.
Books listed:
Folklore Rules!, by Lynne S. McNeill (bookshop.org/a/4988/9780874219050)
The Oxford Illustrated History of Witchcraft and Magic, edited by Owen Davies (bookshop.org/a/4988/9780199608447)
And, shamelessly, I’d recommend my own book, too.
