Come explore International Studies materials that feature the supernatural across culture and religion.

All cultures throughout the world have some beliefs in the supernatural. These translate into use of talismans and amulets, dance, trance, possession, rituals, and invocations to seek guidance, protection, power, and blessing, among other practices.

This open house will include a selection of books, films, and other collection items that document rituals and amulets primarily in South Asian and Southeast Asian cultures, but will highlight other cultural areas as well.

Join us (on the 1st floor of Hatcher) for Third Thursdays at the Library, a themed monthly open house where we share materials from our collections. While you’re here, pick up a Third Thursday Passport and collect a stamp from each of the Third Thursday Open Houses — Asia Library, Clark Library, International Studies, and Special Collections Research Center — to win a prize!
