The book deals with manifestations and relics of magical thinking in narrative folklore of Cieszyn Silesia (Teschen Silesia, TìšÃnské Slezsko). The author focuses on the cognitive dimension of socially shared narratives and demonstrates how they re-produce the magical picture of the world. He redefines the cognitivist concept of categorization.
