GregoryVisions and Beliefs in the West of Ireland is a collection of folklore and legends compiled by Augusta, Lady Gregory during her travels throughout Ireland in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book offers a unique insight into the beliefs and traditions of the people of the west of Ireland, including their beliefs in fairies, ghosts, and other supernatural beings. Lady Gregory's collection includes stories of encounters with the supernatural, accounts of local customs and rituals, and tales of the heroic deeds of legendary figures. The book is a fascinating exploration of the rich cultural heritage of the west of Ireland, and a testament to the enduring power of folklore and mythology in shaping the beliefs and values of a people.There was a woman below in that village where I lived to my grief and my sorrow, and she used to be throwing the evil eye, but she is in the poorhouse now - Mrs. Boylan her name is. Four she threw it on, not children but big men, and they lost the walk and all, and died. Maybe she didn't know she had it, but it is no load to any one to say God bless you.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
