Very interesting. I read Frazier's The Golden Bough about 20 years ago and found it fascinating. If this kind of material interests you, pick up the Frazier book.

Thank you for the recommendation....I had never heard of it. A quick search revealed it is available to read, free on line:

The Golden Bough

I'll be perusing it over the next few days...thanks!

"The GOLDED BOUGH"..***..I had never heard of it. ***

What! I have a copy of it and read it quite often! Even Col. Kurtz was reading it in APOCALYPSE NOW. The making of a priest of Attis is a real hoot!
