The Golden Bough

📝ONGO's Reflection

Reading this book, which begins in an ancient Roman grove and traces the vast sweep of myth and magic across the whole world, I experienced a grand panorama of humanity's spiritual origins. Frazer's insight reveals that the magical thinking of primitive people is not a mere relic of the past but an instinctive attempt to control the world. It makes us look again at our own inner selves, still craving magic beneath the mask of science.
