One of the ways in which the Mennonites, Moravians and other German farmfolk expressed their joy of living in southeastern Pennsylvania was in the adornment of documents (Fraktur and Vorschrift), samplers, house blessings, Valentines, furniture, needlework, walls and other craft examples with floral borders, hearts, tulips, doves and other motifs in vivid abundance. The designs reproduced faithfully here are not the commercial hex signs seen at roadside stands but the authentic art of the Pennsylvania German culture.

This cultural exploration offers an unparalleled presentation of Pennsylvania’s ritual healing traditions known as powwowing or Braucherei in Pennsylvania Dutch, through original primary source materials, including manuscripts, ritual objects, and books—most of which have never before been available to English-speaking readers. Although methods and procedures have varied considerably over three centuries of ritual practice within the Pennsylvania Dutch cultural region, the outcomes and experiences surrounding this tradition have woven a rich tapestry of cultural narratives that highlight the integration of ritual into all aspects of life, as well as provide insight into the challenges, conflicts, growth, and development of a distinct Pennsylvania Dutch folk culture.
