The treatments featured in the book reflect the transfer of European culture and concerns to pastoral life in early Pennsylvania. What has become known as the art of powwow among Pennsylvania Dutch citizens and scholars is still practiced in some rural areas of the state. The collection is cited widely, from enthusiasts of African-American Hoodoo to theology scholars, and it preserves a fine example of ethnic heritage.

Johann Georg Hohman was a prominent figure in both popular printing and folk magic of the Pennsylvania Dutch community. He immigrated to Reading from Hamburg in 1802 and made a long career of publishing books, ballads, and broadsides. As publisher of some of the first Germanic broadsides and ballads in America, Hohman attempted to improve the translated songs and remedies for ease of singing and recitation. He disappeared after producing his last work in 1846.
Homhan's mysterious European origin, unrecorded death, and Roman Catholic faith--rare in a Protestant society--all add to the intrigue of reading his works. Other books include the Gospel of Nicodemus, an edition of New Testament apocryphal works, and the last before his retreat, The Pious Man's Devotion to God, a reworking of the traditional "The Childhood of Jesus."
