Description
Excerpt from The Golden Bough, Vol. 2 of 2: A Study in Comparative Religion
IN some of the examples cited above to establish the meaning of the term neck as applied to the last sheaf, the corn-spirit appears in animal form as a gander, a goat, a hare, a cat, and a fox. This intro duces us to a new aspect of the corn-spirit, which we must now examine. By doing so we shall not only have fresh examples Of killing the god, but may hope also to clear up some points which remain obscure in the myths and worship of Attis, Adonis, Osiris, Dionysus, Demeter, and Virbius.
