The Golden Bough (Annotated)

James George Frazer

Sinopsis

This edition includes the following editor's analysis: "The Golden Bough" as an essential analytical treatise on mythology, magic and religion


Originally published in two volumes in 1890, “The Golden Bough” is a wide-ranging, comparative study of mythology and religion, written by the Scottish anthropologist James George Frazer. The title is taken from Virgil’s epic poem “The Aeneid,” where the hero, Aeneas, uses a golden bough (or golden twig) to gain admission into Hades, the underworld.

The themes of “The Golden Bough” include humanity’s relationship to mortality, common narratives across cultures and times, and the gradual progression from superstitious to scientific thinking.
Frazer compares and contrasts scientific and religious thoughts. With events such as fertility rates and human sacrifice being compared both religiously, and scientifically, “The Golden Bough” makes for a unique book.

Be Relaxed & Stress-Free - Dick...

Dick Sutphen

BE RELAXED AND STRESS-FREEDO NOT USE WHILE DRIVINGThe late Dick Sutphen, was a pioneer in the Hypnosis field. America’s foremost psychic researcher, he was also considered to be America’s leading past-life therapist. His subliminal recordings require that you read the information below in order to fully benefit from them and achieve optimal results.Example of Suggestions:You accept people as they are without expectations. You accept the things you cannot change and change the things you can. You are at peace with yourself the world and everyone in it. You experience life peacefully and you are relaxed and at peace. You choose to experience your life as a tranquil oneness. Ultimate relaxation is yours. What you hear is 60 minutes of relaxing, digitally mastered stereo music. Each title uses different music and different suggestions. Listen while you are driving, working, or doing other things. What you don’t hear are the suggestions, which are embedded into the music. Only your subconscious mind will hear the suggestions.What happens? Because the suggestions are not challenged by your conscious mind, they tend to be accepted by your subconscious mind, although they can’t make you do something you don’t want to do. To be effective, you must be favorable disposed to the programming goal. With repeated listening, the suggestions become new beliefs. Your subconscious mind will then generate the circumstances necessary to match your day-to-day life to your new beliefs. To generate further mental acceptance, you may also use this programming as sleep programming. Simply listen as you fall asleep.Make certain you are fully alert and awake at the end of this session.As a specialist in brain/mind technology, Dick instructed medical professionals in how to use his life-changing techniques and was often a featured speaker and trainer at professional hypnosis conferences. Honored with many awards throughout his career, Sutphen was a life-time honor member of the International Hypnosis Federation. His final award was a Lifetime Achievement Humanitarian Award presented to him by the Hypnotherapy Academy in May, 2019.
