(James George) The Golden Bough: A Study in Comparative Religion (Vol. 2 of 2) Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Golden_Bough "The Golden Bough: A Study in Comparative Religion (Vol. 2 of 2)" by James George Frazer is a scholarly publication written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the themes of religion, mythology, and folklore, examining various practices surrounding the corn-spirit and its animal embodiments across different cultures. Frazer's analysis provides a comparative approach to understanding the connections between rituals and symbols found in agrarian societies. At the start of this volume, Frazer continues his exploration of the corn-spirit, introducing the concept of its embodiment in various animals such as the wolf, dog, hare, cock, and goat. He discusses the customs surrounding harvesting and rituals that involve the symbolic killing or interaction with these animals, suggesting that they represent the spirit of fertility and the cycle of life. The opening portion sets the stage for a detailed examination of how these themes manifest in different cultural practices, illustrating the relationship between the natural world and human belief systems.
