| 520 | _a"Current Superstitions: Collected from the Oral Tradition of English-Speaking Folk" edited by Fanny D. Bergen is a collection of folk beliefs and superstitions recorded in the late 19th century. The work seeks to document the rich tapestry of traditions and lore cherished by English-speaking communities across America, presenting various customs, sayings, and beliefs related to various aspects of life, especially in relation to childhood, family, love, and nature. The collection captures the character of the folk tradition through oral testimonies and practices that have persisted through generations. The opening of the volume introduces the premise of the collection, detailing the author's journey in gathering superstitions primarily from personal experiences and contributions from various individuals. Beginning with an origin story in which Bergen recounts her own childhood memories, the text emphasizes the innate human fascination with folklore and the impact of superstitious beliefs on personal and cultural identity. Various chapters hint at themes covering aspects of babyhood, childhood, and the notable significance of events and objects (such as the days of the week or the first actions of a child) in dictating attitudes toward luck and fate. The opening thus sets the stage for readers, prompting curiosity about the specific rituals and beliefs that nourished these communities' connections to their heritage.
