Remarkable for its vast assembly of facts and its charm of presentation, it offers the thesis that man progresses from magic through religious belief to scientific thought. It discusses fertility rites, human sacrifices, the dying god, the scapegoat and many other symbols and practices which have influenced a whole generation of 20th Century writers.
A really wonderful book that should be read by anyone who calls themselves a pagan. Very informative and very rich in writing style.
