520 _a"Cuban Folk-Lore" by L. Roy Terwilliger is a cultural anthropology publication written in the early 20th century. This book delves into the rich tapestry of Cuban traditions, beliefs, and customs, with particular emphasis on the superstitions, witchcraft, and folklore prevalent in the country, especially among the Afro-Cuban population. It serves as a fascinating exploration of the amalgamation of African, indigenous, and European influences that shape the socio-cultural landscape of Cuba. The content of "Cuban Folk-Lore" provides a detailed examination of superstitions and practices associated with witchcraft, particularly the Ñañiguismo society, which blends aspects of Catholicism and African spirituality. Terwilliger discusses the origins, beliefs, and rituals of this secretive group, including their sacrificial customs and the role of the Brujo or witch doctor. The book also touches on the historical context of Cuba's indigenous Siboney people and their customs, demonstrating how their influences remain prevalent in modern folklore. Overall, Terwilliger's work offers a comprehensive look at the supernatural beliefs that still resonate within Cuban culture today. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
