Paperback. Condition: New. 'A pioneer of modern anthropology', A. C. Haddon (1855-1940) contributed to the fields of embryology and evolutionary science before turning his interests to human civilisation and its history. In this work, first published in 1910, Haddon makes use of his wide-ranging knowledge of folk rituals and religious beliefs to introduce readers to basic principles of sympathetic magic, divination, talismanic powers and fetishism. A strong believer in the importance of preserving local religious practices and beliefs, Haddon uses the work to document customs from Britain to West Africa, America to Australia. Topics include forms of contagious magic, premised on a mutual influence between objects; amulets and talismans; magical names and words; and divination. In the second portion of the book, devoted to fetishism, Haddon offers an authoritative description of the fetish as a 'habitation, temporary or permanent, of a spiritual being', establishing basic definitions for an important field of cultural research.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of magic and its role in the lives of ancient and pre-modern peoples. Examining practices across various cultures, the author explores the foundations of magic as a system of beliefs and actions based on a fundamental misunderstanding of cause and effect. The book explores the belief that imitating a desired outcome or manipulating objects connected to a person could exert control over the world. The book examines the wide range of practices associated with this belief, from using hair or nail clippings in spells, to crafting images of enemies or rain-making ceremonies, and the importance of names, words, and talismans in influencing events. The author explores the concept of "tabu," examining how these social rules and prohibitions are intricately linked to magic and the belief in the unseen forces that govern the world. The book also reveals the intriguing origins of many seemingly modern superstitions and customs, demonstrating how ancient beliefs in sympathetic magic have permeated cultural traditions throughout history. This captivating exploration provides valuable insights into the deep-seated human need for control and the enduring power of belief in a world where the unknown and unpredictable reigned supreme.
