Ada Cattaneo, starting from an in-depth research on high and low culture, on the collective imagination and on ancient knowledge, captures and explains the various aspects inherent in the fascinating and obscure themes of both the Macabre Dances/Dances of Death and the destiny intended as Wyrd (of which the subject is author and protagonist) or as Orlog (from which one lets himself be fatally led). Thus she retraces their origins, history, evolution and reviewes their various symbolic and esoteric meanings.
The volume ends with two unpublished parts. The former explains the meanings of the three talismans related to the Grimoire and their powers. In the latter illustrates both verbally and graphically, the ritual to be performed to activate or strengthen the power of talismans.
