Book Details

First Sentence

"reason for overlooking the momentous place that ritual has had in the life of mankind. The fact is that primitive man imagined he could transfer life from one thing to another, that he could, for example, take the spirit-power that resided in the scalp on an enemy and, by proper dancing and chanties, transfer that life from its former owner to the new one."
