The Fear Of The Dead In Primitive Religion

""The Fear of the Dead in Primitive Religion"" is a book written by James George Frazer, a renowned anthropologist and folklorist. The book explores the concept of death and the afterlife in primitive societies, and how these beliefs shaped their religious practices and social structures. Frazer delves into the fear and reverence that these societies had for the dead, and how this fear influenced their rituals and customs surrounding death, burial, and mourning. He also examines the role of shamans and priests in these societies, and how they used their knowledge of the afterlife to manipulate and control the masses. Frazer's work is a comprehensive study of the intersection between religion, culture, and death in primitive societies, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in anthropology, folklore, or religious studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
