Title: The Golden Bough by Sir James George Frazer
Review: This is a wonderful book on the origin of beliefs, culture andclassic ceremonies. For instance, the Native American Indiansregarded a person's name as a part of their personality.In Bohemia, children carry a straw man out of the village tocast out death. Aphrodite and Old Paphos constitute one of themost celebrated shrines in the ancient world. In death andresurrection, Egyptians celebrated life after death. At Lagos inGuinea, young women were impaled by custom after spring equinoxin order to secure a good crop that year. Festivities wereprepared in order to coincide with the summer and winter solstices.The work would be perfect for students of world culture,fine arts, language and literature.
