Powwowing Among the Pennsylvania Dutch: A Traditional Medical Practice in the Modern World - Pennsylvania German History and Culture Series
David W. Kriebel
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.
