5.0 out of 5 stars Another "Golden Bough"!, January 4, 2012

This review is from: Myth, Ritual and Religion - Volume 1 (Kindle Edition)

I have always been fascinated by mythology, ritual, and religion, and I hung on every word of the Gold Bough in wrapped awe. If this sounds anything like you, then Lang's "Myth, Ritual, and Religion" is worth your attention at any price.

In this book, Andrew Lang (relying on his staggering breadth of knowledge in folklore and religion) examines the primal roots of mankind's mythology, ritual, and religion. He seeks with penetrating clarity the shared, primordial consciousness of the race, and completely mesmerizes anyone interested in mythology and religion in the process.

In short, he provides a satisfying look at the primal consciousness of the human race. What more could you want?
