The Golden bough : the roots of religion and folklore

The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion is a wide-ranging comparative study of mythology and religion, written by Scottish anthropologist Sir James George Frazer (1854-1941). It was first published in two volumes in 1890; the third edition, published 1906-15, comprised twelve volumes. It was aimed at a broad literate audience raised on tales as told in such publications as Thomas Bulfinch's The Age of Fable, or Stories of Gods and Heroes (1855). It offered a modernist approach to discussing religion, treating it dispassionately as a cultural phenomenon rather than from a theological pe.

  • "The primary aim of this book is to explain the remarkable rule which regulated the succession to the priesthood of Diana at Aricia. When I first set myself to solve the problem more than thirty years ago, I thought that the solution could be propounded very briefly, but I soon found that to render it probable or even intelligible it was necessary to discuss certain more general questions, some of which had hardly been broached before."
  • "The Golden Bough describes our ancestors' primitive methods of worship, sex practices, strange rituals and festivals. Disproving the popular thought that primitive life was simple, this monumental survey shows that savage man was enmeshed in a tangle of magic, taboos, and superstitions. Revealed here is the evolution of man from savagery to civilization, from the modification of his weird and often bloodthirsty customs to the entry of lasting moral, ethical, and spiritual values."@en

  • "The Golden Bough attempts to define the shared elements of religious belief, ranging from ancient belief systems to relatively modern religions such as Christianity. Its thesis is that old religions were fertility cults that revolved around the worship of, and periodic sacrifice of, a sacred king. This king was the incarnation of a dying and reviving god, a solar deity who underwent a mystic marriage to a goddess of the earth, who died at the harvest, and was reincarnated in the spring. Frazer claims that this legend is central to almost all of the world's mythologies. The germ for Frazer's thesis was the pre-Roman priest-king at the fane of Nemi, who was ritually murdered by his successor."@en
  • "Klassieke studie naar aanleiding van een Romeinse mythe, die de basis legde voor de systematische godsdienstwetenschap."
  • "En toda época ha habido, por un lado, rebeldes, individuos que trataron de reformar la religión o más aún deshacerse de ella, y por el otro, conciliadores o unificadores que buscaron reconciliar fe y práctica a través de métodos menos radicales. Es a la primera categoría, la revolucionaria, a la que Frazer creyó pert enecer. Todas las religiones producen religiones opuestas; las religiones del Libro producen libros opuestos. La religión del Libro de la propia época de Frazer, el cristianismo victoriano en sus distintas variantes, también requería un libro que se le opusiera. Hay razones suficientes para afirmar que ese libro, consciente o inconscientemente, era La rama dorada. Robert Fraser (autor de la edición, la introducción y las notas)"@es
