Book Overview

""Faiths of Western Aborigines in Europe and Adjacent Countries"" is a comprehensive study of the religious beliefs and practices of the indigenous peoples of Europe and neighboring regions. Written by J.G.R. Forlong, a Scottish scholar of religion and mythology, the book examines the various faiths of the Western aborigines, including the Celts, Germans, Slavs, and Finns. Forlong's research is based on a wide range of sources, including ancient texts, archaeological evidence, and folklore. He explores the origins and development of these religions, their gods and goddesses, rituals and ceremonies, and their impact on the cultures and societies of the region. The book also includes detailed descriptions of the religious practices of individual tribes and peoples, such as the Druids of ancient Britain and the Sami of Scandinavia. Forlong's work is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of religion, mythology, and cultural anthropology.THIS 326 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Rivers of Life Part 2 or Sources and Streams of the Faiths of Man in all Lands Showing the Evolution of Faiths from the Rudest Symbolisms to the Latest Spiritual Developments, by J.
