Summary

** "Curiosities of Superstition, and Sketches of Some Unrevealed Religions" by W. H. Davenport Adams is an exploration of worldwide, often overlooked, faiths and superstitions from the 1800s. The book gives an interesting look at the beginnings, ceremonies, and beliefs tied to different cultures’ understandings of spirituality. Through the use of examples like Buddhism, including their prayer-wheel traditions and a comparison to parts of Christianity, questions are raised about how humans connect with the concept of a higher power based on rituals performed daily. This sets up a larger conversation about the differences and strangenesses of human spirituality. **
