In this volume, author Samuel B. Emmons identifies and describes a broad spectrum of folk beliefs and spiritual practices, such as demonic possession, palmistry, and fear of ghosts and spirits. In Emmons' view, these beliefs are all the result of ignorance, and The Spirit Land is intended as a handbook for the devout to use when attempting to eradicate these types of superstitions.
