Executive Director’s Letter NO EXCUSES “Birds are running out of places to live and things to eat,” writes National Audubon’s CEO, David Yarnold. This information is difficult to process. This winter we will fill our bird feeders, sit down with a cup of coffee, and enjoy the entertaining nuthatches, chickadees, and woodpeckers visiting the seed and suet. When spring returns, we will clean out our flower beds, visit the nursery to buy plant material, and prep our lawns for a vivid green, weed-free summer. Birds will surround us with motion and sound. It’s difficult to imagine a landscape without birds when we see them every day—at feeders, in trees, at the park, along the road, and at our favorite birdwatching destinations. What’s more, we see birds pop up on emails and websites such as eBird.org. We see birds right here in the Jack Pine Warbler and gracing the pages of national magazines such as Audubon and Birdwatching.

    My dear friend Harold, it is with great regret that I must inform you that the almanac about which I previously wrote you was lost to the depths when the Kaiser Drake sank beneath the waves. With its loss, I fear we may never know the location of the lost city of R'lyeh. ® However, it is some matter of consolation that the leader of the expedition did survive the wreck. Upon his recovery, he presented me with a strange amulet, an unusually vibrant jewel inlaid in one of its sockets.

We must meet in person...and soon. - Dr. MasonPhillips Expansion Overview Based on The Call of Cthulhu expansion for the Elder Sign: Omens digital application, Elder Sign: Omens of the Deep challenges intrepid investigators to uncover the secrets of a mysterious amulet and seal away the eldritch threat that lurks within the corpse-city of R'lyeh.

Traditional healers usually use superstition in their practices to manage human health problems and diseases; such practices create a conflict with the medical profession and its evidence- based practices. Medical professionals confirm that this kind of practice is not safe to human health as it is done by untrained people (e.g., tradition healers) utilizing unsterilized instruments within unhygienic environments.

  • Faces of Mongolian Fear: Demonological Beliefs, Narratives and Protective Measures in Contemporary Folk Religion*
    Journal of Ethnology and Folkloristics 14 (1): 49–64 DOI: 10.2478/jef-2020-0004 FACES OF MONGOLIAN FEAR: DEMONOLOGICAL BELIEFS, NARRATIVES AND PROTECTIVE MEASURES IN CONTEMPORARY FOLK RELIGION* ALEVTINA SOLOVYEVA Junior Research Fellow Department for Estonian and Comparative Folklore University of Tartu Ülikooli 18, 50090 Tartu, Estonia Leading Research Fellow Institute for Oriental and Classical Studies National Research University Higher School of Economics Myasnitskaja 20, 101000 Moscow, Russia e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT This article looks at the perceptions of fear and ‘the frightening’ in contemporary Mongolian demonology. In the article, I discuss beliefs concerning both human and supernatural – what is supposed to be frightening for humans and what is supposed to be frightening for spirits, ghosts and demons. In daily interaction with the supernatural this mutual ‘fright’ can be regarded as an important part of communication. In this article, I discuss what is believed to be the most frightful for humans and for supernatural agents, what kinds of image this fear relates to and what the roots of these beliefs are, as well as the popular ways to confront and defend against ‘frightening’ in Mongolian folklore. My research is based on fieldwork materials collected during annual expedi- tions in different parts of Mongolia (2006–2017) and Mongolian published sources such as Mongolian newspapers and journals, special editions of stories about encounters with the supernatural. KEYWORDS: Mongolian folklore • narratives • rites • fears • socialist past and contemporary period. * This article is a continuation of my paper, presented at the Anthropology of Fright: Per- spectives from Asia international conference (Aarhus University, May 18–19, 2017), inspired and developed with the support of event organisers Stefano Beggiora (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Italy), Lidia Guzy (University College Cork, Ireland), Uwe Skoda (Aarhus University, Denmark).
