pickFinally finished this! 🙌🏻 I really enjoyed all the comparative mythology, all the different and similar myths and legends and magic from around the world… though it did get repetitive. Frazer‘s conclusions about the common threads and their meanings were a lot more suspect.
ravenlee I think, like a lot of that era‘s scholarship, it‘s useful and important to know what they discovered/researched, even if it‘s just as a starting point for what came after. Have you read any Joseph Campbell? I find his work to be just as well-collected and his conclusions to be a little more reasonable. 3y
Clare-Dragonfly @ravenlee I have! It‘s been years but I remember liking his works very much. 3y
