A Study of Bagobo Ceremonial: Magic and Myth is a book written by Laura Watson Benedict and published in 1916. The book provides an in-depth examination of the Bagobo people, an indigenous tribe from the Philippines, and their cultural practices related to magic and mythology. Benedict's work is based on her personal experiences living among the Bagobo people and participating in their ceremonies. The book is organized into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of Bagobo culture. The first chapter provides an overview of the tribe's history and geography, while subsequent chapters delve into specific aspects of their ceremonial practices, such as music, dance, and costume. Benedict also explores the role of magic and mythology in Bagobo culture, describing various rituals and beliefs related to healing, fertility, and protection. She provides detailed descriptions of the various gods and spirits worshipped by the Bagobo, and how they are invoked during ceremonies. Throughout the book, Benedict offers insights into the social and cultural significance of Bagobo ceremonial practices, providing a valuable resource for anthropologists and historians interested in the indigenous cultures of the Philippines. Her work is considered a pioneering study of the Bagobo people and their traditions, and remains an important contribution to the field of ethnography.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
