Bag om The Origin Of Primitive Superstitions
The Origin Of Primitive Superstitions: And Their Development Into The Worship Of Spirits And The Doctrine Of Spiritual Agency Among The Aborigines Of America is a book written by Rushton M. Dorman in 1881. The book explores the origins of primitive superstitions and how they evolved into the worship of spirits and the belief in spiritual agency among the indigenous people of America. Dorman examines the various beliefs and practices of different tribes across the continent, including the Algonquian, Iroquoian, and Sioux nations. He delves into their rituals, myths, and legends, as well as their relationships with the natural world and the spirits that inhabit it. The book also discusses the impact of European colonization on the indigenous people and their spiritual beliefs. Dorman argues that the introduction of Christianity and other Western religions led to the suppression and eventual loss of many traditional beliefs and practices. Overall, The Origin Of Primitive Superstitions provides a comprehensive look at the spiritual beliefs of the indigenous people of America and how they evolved over time.
