The Deification and Worship of Ancestors is a book written by Edward Clodd that explores the practice of ancestor worship in various cultures throughout history. The book delves into the origins of ancestor worship, the different forms it has taken, and the beliefs and rituals associated with it. Clodd examines the role that ancestor worship has played in societies around the world, from ancient civilizations in China and Egypt to contemporary cultures in Africa and Polynesia. The book also discusses the psychological and social reasons behind the practice of ancestor worship, including the desire to connect with one's roots and to honor the memory of deceased loved ones. Through his thorough research and analysis, Clodd offers a fascinating look at one of the oldest and most enduring religious practices in human history.THIS 20 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Animism: The Seed of Religion, by Edward Clodd.
