This study focuses on contemporary urban Russia and, through exploring social conditions, conveys the experience of living that makes magic logical. By following people''s own interpretations of the work of magic, the author succeeds in unraveling the logic of local practice and local understanding of affliction, commonly used to diagnose the experiences of illness and misfortune. 410 0$aEpistemologies of healing ;$vvolume 1. 606 $aMagic$zRussia (Federation) 606 $aSpiritual healing$zRussia (Federation) 607 $aRussia (Federation)$xReligious life and customs 607 $aRussia (Federation)$xSocial conditions 615 0$aMagic 615 0$aSpiritual healing 676 $a133.4/3/0947 676 $a133.430947 700 $aLindquist$b Galina$01597307 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808291003321 996 $aConjuring hope$94114253 997 $aUNINA
