Animism is a fascinating concept often studied even into modernity- this particular text sees it as part of a natural spiritual evolution leading, as then-modern westerners held it, to the Christian world.This booklet explores the worship of trees, water, stones, and other inanimate things as well as ancestors and various unseen forces, as part of its cross-cultural review of practice and belief. Various superstitions and folk tales are described from Africa, Asia, and other places- takes which illustrate the point of the work. It should be noted that some anthropological lore here has been displaced by additional and more contemporary evidence.
Edward Clodd's pair of lectures on the subject of Occultism are delivered from the standpoint of a dedicated rationalist, and seek primarily to confront and expose charlatans among the spiritualists and other groups- phenomena such as seances, phrenology, dowsing, and apparitions are here mostly considered fraudulent.The 1920s indeed were an era of great decline away from some of the occultism of the mid and late 19th century. These would be replaced with other practices, and today we see the resurgence of some prior practices as well. For the occultist, this is an important work; skepticism should be applied to all individual phenomena and claims thereof.
