Simple Masterpiece

I always wondered about the history of religion through the Indo-European migrations. Now, thanks to Aoumiel, I know. Explains so much that remained a mystery before such as the origins of spiritual thought as well as history of transmigratory evolution of spiritual thought in Western History that was left out in requisite American Ancient and Western History classes. Such a simple, yet, underestimated work.

Really Good Book

This is a great book about the origins of religion from the earliest known to the present. This book is an excellent panoramic view of the history of the world religions--not just the main religions (the back cover says "A Pagan's View of Religious History"). It's good reading though can be dull at times. But if you are really interesting in actually learning something, by all means, read this book!
