Powwowing Among The Pennsylvania Dutch

Known in Pennsylvania Dutch as brauche or braucherei, the folk-healing practice of powwowing was thought to draw upon the power of God to heal all manner of physical and spiritual ills. This work examines the practice of powwowing and shows that, contrary to popular belief, the practice of powwowing is active.
