About this title

Synopsis

"Scatalogic Rites of All Nations" by John Gregory Bourke is a fascinating exploration of the often-overlooked role of excrement in global folklore, religion, and customs. This meticulously researched dissertation delves into the employment of "excrementitious remedial agents" across cultures, examining their use in religion, therapeutics, divination, witchcraft, and even love philters.

Bourke's work serves as an encyclopedic reference to the surprising prevalence of scatology in traditional practices. Discover how various societies have incorporated excrement into their rites, superstitions, and beliefs. Uncover the historical significance of these practices and their connection to human understanding of the world.

A cornerstone of anthropological study, this book provides unique insights into the history of folklore, religious beliefs, and social customs around the world. A valuable resource for students and anyone interested in the cross-cultural study of human behavior.
