These c nnot distinguish between the religious student of ancient and art a a O f l modern , tr cing the v rious growths cu ts in symbols and a has ritu ls, from the sceptic or worse, who come to a and and pull down the s cred groves gods, thus uproot

The same wants beget the invention and use of the same a me ns to supply those wants . ’ a a The workings of m n s mind, being obedient to simil r a are a and a l ws, the s me, the thoughts, suggestions, ide s and a a a all ctions proceeding from them, ne rly identic l in a a a man countries ; the s me ide s rise within the mind of , a suggested by the s me objects . a and a a a and Hence simil r n logous ide s, beliefs, super st it ious practices are frequently evolved independently

a ff are su e s mong di erent peoples . These the result of gg tions arising spontaneously in the human mind at certain a and a st ges of its development, which seem lmost a univers l . A a a a a I a a s rem rk ble inst nce of this, h ve dr wn up the o f a following sketch ph llic worship, which is one of those

‘ beliefs or superstitious practices which have sprung up

and S a and a independently pont neously, which seems to h ve a a a a extensively prev iled mong m ny n tions . It will acquire additional interest when it is considered

* a a a has a tions of the hum n r ce, th t it prev iled more or a all a and a less mong known peoples in ncient times, th t it has been handed down even to a very l ate and Christian period. In the earlier ages the O perations O f nature made a m a stronger impression on the inds of men . Those ide s, springing from the constant O bservation of the modes of a a a cting in n ture, were consequently more re dily suggested to the minds of all races of men in the primitive ages . Two causes must have forcibly struck the minds of men in those early periods when observant of the opera a a tions of n ture, one the gener tive power, the other the

e a and a v a . r productive, the ctive the p ssi e c uses This two- fold mode o f production visible in nature must have given rise to comparisons with the mode of proceeding in a a a t wo a the gener tion of nim ls, in which c uses concur, the one active and the other passive ; the one male and

al as a as . the other fem e, the one f ther, the other mother These ideas were doubtless suggested independently and S pontaneously in different countries ; for the human mind is so constituted that the s ame O bjects and the same O perations of nature will suggest like ideas in the minds all a a a of men of r ces, however widely p rt . N a a man was ma b ut a ture to the e rly not brute tter, a and o being invested with his own person lity, end wed a a n and a with the s me feelings, p ssio s, performing the s me a functions .

The sky the fecundating and fertilizing power ; the earth was as at as looked upon the mould of n ure, the recipient of a was seeds, the nurse of wh t produced in its bosom . An analogy was suggested in the union of the male and a a are a fem le . These comp risons found in ncient writers . “ ” * “ JEsch lus a at The bright sky, y s ys, loves to penetr e a a a a a the e rth ; the e rth, on her p rt, spires to the he venly a a Ra a a S k a m rri ge . in f lling from the w tery y impregn tes a and a a O f the e rth, she produces for mort ls p stures the ” “ ” f and C .

I TH E belief in the Evil Eye is one o f the most widely extended o f superstitions ; it crops out in the remotest

o f a n a corners the globe . It is found mong the i tellectu l G reeks and the cultivated Romans of the Augustan age as a ava mong the rudest s ges . If the universality o f a belief were an argument for its a E truth, the doctrine which sserts the power of the vil E e a all a y would be bove controversy . Tr nsmitted by u a a all a a ncounted gener tions, perh ps, to the n tion lities of a a at a the globe, the theory of f scin tion, which lies the b sis all a a a a a of witchcr ft, holds pl ce mong the very first ide s a a formul ted by m nkind . It takes its origin from that common but unamiable a na an a feeling in hum n ture, when invidious gl nce or look o f envy is cast on the happier lot or on the superior , a ff possessions of others . To vert the supposed e ects of a E E e had t o this gl nce of envy, this vil y , recourse is the superstitious practice of using some attractive object or a ma a a f a E E e t lis n to turn side the b ne ul d rt of the vil y .
