G. (James George) The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion (Third Edition, Vol. 06 of 12) Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Golden_Bough "The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion" by James George Frazer is a comprehensive anthropological study written in the early 20th century. This work examines the intersections of mythology, magic, and religion, with a particular focus on ancient rituals, fertility gods, and their cultural significance. In the opening chapters, the author delves into the myth of Osiris, exploring themes of death, resurrection, and the cyclical nature of life, tying them to agricultural practices and the Egyptian calendar. At the start of the work, Frazer presents the legend of Osiris, detailing his life as a divine king who taught civilization and agriculture to the Egyptians, later facing betrayal and murder at the hands of his brother, Set. Following his death, Osiris's resurrection becomes a cornerstone of Egyptian faith, symbolizing eternal life and the seasonal cycles of farming. The text introduces foundational concepts of Egyptian mythology, such as the rituals surrounding the flooding of the Nile, the significance of agricultural cycles, and the festivals dedicated to Osiris and Isis, thereby setting the stage for further exploration of the roles these myths play in human culture and religious practices.
