Bluenose Magic

Bluenose Magic, first published in 1968, is considered a classic of Maritime literature. Dr. Helen Creighton is one of Nova Scotia's (and Canada’s) best-loved and most respected folklorists.
This fascinating and engaging companion to the author’s best-selling Bluenose Ghosts welcomes readers into a world of forerunners, enchantment, dreams, divination, buried treasure, guardian ghosts, home remedies, and mystical occurrences. These unique tales have been passed on from generation to generation within Nova Scotian families, and some of the superstitions and remedies are still deeply woven into the culture and traditions practiced today.
