The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion (Third Edition, Vol. 06 of 12)
"The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion (Third Edition, Vol. 06 of 12)" by Sir James George Frazer is a comparative study published between 1906-1915. This monumental work explores the common threads binding mythology and religion across cultures, examining fertility rites, human sacrifice, dying gods, and scapegoats. Frazer argues that humanity's understanding evolved from magic through religion to science, centered on ancient fertility cults and sacred kings sacrificed seasonally. Drawing
from classical mythology to global traditions, it traces patterns of death and rebirth across world mythologies. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
