| Summary | "Folk Lore Notes. Vol. II—Konkan" by A. M. T. Jackson is a compilation of cultural and religious practices related to folklore, written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the intricate belief systems and rituals of the people inhabiting the Konkan region, revealing how nature, deities, and local customs intertwine within their daily lives. It serves as an anthropological exploration of indigenous worship and traditions, highlighting the significance of various local deities, nature spirits, and seasonal festivals. The opening of this volume focuses on the worship of nature powers and minor local deities, emphasizing the caste dynamics involved in these practices. A. M. T. Jackson illustrates how lower castes typically serve as priests to local deities, such as the village goddesses and minor gods associated with agriculture, fertility, and health. The text elaborates on specific rituals, such as the daily offerings to the Sun and the reverence for natural elements like sacred rivers and springs, as well as mythological explanations for phenomena like eclipses. The opening sets the stage for a deeper understanding of the rich spiritual landscape and the cultural importance of these practices among the Konkan communities.
