The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion (Third Edition, Vol. 10 of 12)
"The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion (Third Edition, Vol. 10 of 12)" by Sir James George Frazer is a comparative study published between 1906-1915. This monumental work explores the shared elements of mythology and religion across cultures, examining fertility rites, human sacrifice, dying gods, and ancient sacred practices. Frazer traces humanity's intellectual evolution from magical thinking through religious belief to scientific understanding, centering on the ritual murder of priest-kings
and seasonal cycles of death and rebirth that he claims underpin world mythologies. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
