Chapter ix.
[1413] But a certain substratum is usually assumed, no attempt being made to account for its existence.
[1414] Cf. Tylor, _Primitive Culture_, chaps. viii-x; Jastrow, _Study of Religion_, Index, s.vv. _Myth_, _Mythology_; Lang, _Custom and Myth_, and _Myth, Ritual, and Religion_; articles "Mythologie" in _La Grande Encyclopédie_, and "Mythology" in _Encyclopædia Britannica_, 11th ed.
[1415] Belief in miracles, which is found in some higher religions, may here be left out of the account as belonging in a separate category.
[1416] Lang, _Myth, Ritual, and Religion_, chaps. ii-iv.
[1417] So with the theory of universal borrowing from one center advocated by Stucken (_Astralmythen_), Winckler (_Himmels- und Weltensbild der Babylonier als Grundlage der Weltanschauung und Mythologle aller Völker_), Jeremias (_Das Alte Testament im Lichte des Alten Orients_), Jensen (_Das Gilgamesch Epos_), and others.

[1421] R. B. Dixon, _The Northern Maidu_, p. 335 f.
[1422] Spiegel (_Eranische Alterthumskunde_, ii, 144) ascribes to the Eranians the conception of creation out of nothing. See also the Hawaiian representation of the origin of all things from the primeval void, and the orderly sequence of the various forms of life.
[1423] A. Lang, _Myth, Ritual, and Religion_ chap. vi ff.
[1424] See, for example, the two accounts of creation in the Book of Genesis. In the earlier account (chap. ii) the procedure of Yahweh is mechanical, and things do not turn out as he intended; in the later account (chap. i) there is no mention of a process--it is the divine word that calls the world into being.

[1432] 2 Pet. iii, 7, contrast with the old destruction by water; Hindu eschatology.
[1433] The Norse myth of "the twilight of the gods" has perhaps been colored, in its latest form, by Christian eschatology.

[1442] So Heracles, Achilles, Æneas, and the heroes mentioned in Gen. vi, 4.

[1474] The myths connected with Quetzalcoatl (see Brinton, _American Hero-Myths_, and L. Spence, _Mythologies of Ancient Mexico and Peru_) do not relate mostly to the movements and deeds of the sun or the winds, but arose from his character as local deity with universal powers. Social and political events were woven into them. His contest with Tezcatlipoca seems to reflect the struggle between two tribes; his defeat signifies the victory of the conquering tribe, and the expectation of his return (by which the invading Spaniards, it is said, profited) was based on the political hope of his people. Cf. similar expectations among other peoples.

[1482] Isa. xxiv, 21; Tylor, _Primitive Culture_, i, 356 ff.
[1483] The Babylonians were the great astronomers and astrologers of antiquity, but their eminence in this regard belongs to their later period. After the fall of the later Babylonian empire (B.C. 539) the term 'Chaldean' became a synonym of 'astrologer' (so in the Book of Daniel, B.C. 165-164); cf. Jastrow, _Aspects of Religious Belief and Practice in Babylonia and Assyria_, p. 259 f.

[1486] As in Goldziher's _Hebrew Mythology_ (Eng. tr.), a view later abandoned by the author.

[1491] Dan. ii, 22; Rev. xxi, 23.
[1492] This is true even in the case of abstract deities; see above, §§ 696, 702 ff.
[1493] A myth is a purely imaginative explanation of phenomena; a legend rests on facts, but the facts are distorted. The two terms are often confused the one with the other.
[1494] Some peculiar combinations appear in the figures of Semiramis and the Kuretes and the Korybantes; see the articles in Roscher's _Lexikon_ under these headings.
[1495] Cf. Gomme, _Folklore as an Historical Science_; Van Gennep, _La formation des légendes_.
[1496] See the various folk-lore journals; W. W. Newell, article "Folk-lore" in Johnson's _Universal Cyclopædia_; cf. Gomme, op. cit., and § 881 below.
[1497] So in the cases of the Australian ancestors, the Polynesian, Teutonic, Finnic, Slavic, Greek, Phrygian, and other heroes and gods, the Hebrew patriarchs, and many other such figures.
[1498] See above, § 859.
[1499] See above, § 649.
[1500] Such were the Greek rhapsodists (Müller and Donaldson, _History of the Literature of Ancient Greece_, i, 33 ff.), and probably the Hebrew mashalists (Numb. xxi, 27, Eng. tr., "they that speak in proverbs"). Such reciters are found in India at the present day.

[1537] Examples are cited in the works mentioned above.
[1538] On the view that many quasi-magical acts are spontaneous reactions of the man to his environment see I. King, _Development of Religion_, chap. vii. According to this view the thought suggests the act. The warrior, thinking of his enemy, instinctively makes the motion of hurling something at him (as a modern man shakes his fist at an absent foe), and such an act, a part of the excitation to combat, is believed to be efficacious.

[1552] Certain ceremonies of the higher religions produce effects that must be regarded as magical.
[1553] Lubbock, _Origin of Civilization_, p. 188. Similar logic appears in the story of the origin of Goodwin Sands, told by Bishop Latimer (in a sermon preached before Edward VI). An old man, being asked what he thought was the cause of the Sands, replied that he had lived near there, man and boy, fourscore years, and before the neighboring steeple was built there was no Sands, and therefore his opinion was that the steeple was the cause of the Sands.
[1554] So among the old Hebrews, according to 1 Sam. xxviii, 9. For Rome cf. Fowler, _Religious Experience of the Roman People_, lecture iii.
[1555] Cf. above, § 889.
[1556] In some cases the priest is a magician (Grey, _Polynesian Mythology_, p. 114 ff.)--he acts as the mouthpiece of a god, and in sympathy with the god. Cf. Westermarck, _Origin and Development of the Moral Ideas_, ii, 658. On a connection between the magician and the poet see Goldziher, in _Proceedings of the Tenth International Congress of Orientalists_.

[1569] Sophocles, _OEdipus Tyrannus_, 387; Euripides, _Orestes_, 1498. Hence the term 'magic' as the designation of a certain form of procedure.

For modern usages see Wuttke, _Der deutsche Volksaberglaube der Gegenwart_, 2d ed., pp. 131, 241.
[1572] A magician, as a man of special social prominence and of extraordinary power over the forces of the world, becomes, in some cases, the political head of his community (as a priest sometimes has a like position). Where the divinization of men is practiced, the magician may be recognized as a god. But no general rule can be laid down. The office of king had its own political development, and a god was the natural product of the reflection of a community. The elevation of the magician to high political or ecclesiastical position was dependent on peculiar circumstances and may be called sporadic. Cf. Frazer, _Early History of the Kingship_, p. 107 ff. and lecture v.
[1573] Cf. Frazer, _Golden Bough_, 2d ed., Index, s.v. _Kings_.
[1574] See Lord Avebury, _Marriage, Totemism, and Religion_, chap. iv.
[1575] The plant or animal may be a totem, but its magical power is not derived from its totemic character. Magical potency may dwell in nontotemic objects; in magical ceremonies connected with totems (as in Australia) it is the ceremony rather than the totem that is efficacious. Cf. Marett, _Threshold of Religion_, p. 22 f.
[1576] Cf. Marett, "From spell to prayer," in his _Threshold of Religion_, p. 33 ff.

[1585] In the later Judaism Solomon is the great master of magic; see the story of the Queen of Sheba in the Second Esther Targum; Baring-Gould, _Legends of Old Testament Characters_. For the Arabian legends of Solomon (borrowed from the Jews) see _Koran_, sura xxxviii; _History of Bilkis, Queen of Sheba_, compiled from various Arabic sources, in Socin's _Arabic Grammar_ (Eng. tr., 1885).

[1587] These Powers, including mana, may all be called "divine" as distinguished from the purely "human."
[1588] A superhuman phenomenon, if produced by a deity, is called a "miracle," and is held to be beneficent; if produced by a nontheistic process, it is called "magical," and is looked at doubtfully.
[1589] Cf. Westermarck, _Origin and Development of the Moral Ideas_, ii, 696; Hobhouse, _Morals in Evolution_, Index, s.v. _Magic and Morals_.
[1590] Ultimately, in early religious theory, all objects are divine or abodes or incarnations of divine beings and capable of independent action; sometimes, doubtless, the recognition of the natural character of a thing (as of courage and other qualities in animals) coalesces with the belief in its guiding power.

[1597] Mic. i, 8; cf. 2 Kings iii, 15 (music as a preliminary condition of inspiration).
[1598] As among the Hebrews, the Greeks, and other ancient peoples.
[1599] Formerly, says Cicero (_De Divinatione_, i, 16), almost nothing of moment, or even in private affairs, was undertaken without an augury.

[1626] Medieval belief in astral power is embodied in the English word 'influence,' properly the inflow from the stars (so in Milton's _L'Allegro_, 121 f., "ladies whose bright eyes rain influence"). An astrologer was often attached to a royal court or to the household of some great person, his duty being to keep his patron informed as to the future.
[1627] _Odyssey_, xvii, 541 ff. The fear of a sneeze (which must be followed by some form of 'God bless you!') belongs in a different category; the danger is that a hurtful spirit may enter the sneezer's body, or that his soul may depart.

[1788] See above, § 857.
[1789] It has been suggested that climatic conditions (sharp contrasts of storm and calm, with consequent strain and peace in life) led to this dual arrangement. But we do not know that there were specially strong contrasts of weather in the Iranian home, and there is no mention of such a situation in the early documents, in which the complaint is of inroads of predatory bands from the steppe.
[1790] See above, § 742 ff.
[1791] According to Diogenes Laertius, Proem, viii.
[1792] To designate the unfriendly supernatural Powers two terms meaning 'divine beings' were available, 'asuras' and 'divas' (daevas); the Hindus chose the former, the Iranians the latter. Cf. Darmesteter, _Ormazd et Ahriman_, p. 268 ff.; Macdonell, _Vedic Mythology_, p. 156 ff.
[1793] Zech. iii; Job i, ii; 1 Chron. xxi, 1, contrasted with 2 Sam. xxiv, 1; Enoch xl, 7; liii, 3, etc.; Secrets of Enoch (Slavonic Enoch), xxix, 4, 5; xxxi, 3, 4. The word Satan means 'adversary,' and, as legal adversary, 'accuser.' The germ of the conception is to be sought in the apparatus of spirits controlled by Yahweh, and sometimes employed by him as agents to harm men (1 Kings xxii, 19-23). The idea of an accusing spirit seems to have arisen from the necessity of explaining the misfortunes of the nation (Zech. iii); it was expanded under native and foreign influences.
[1794] 2 Cor. iv, 4.

[1809] The confusion incident to savage theogonic reflection is illustrated by Zulu attempts to explain Unkulunkulu (Callaway, loc. cit.).
[1810] Lang, in the works cited in the preceding paragraph, is right in his contention that the clan god is not always derived from a spirit; but the coloring he gives to the character of this sort of god is not in accordance with known facts.
[1811] See above, § 746 ff.
[1812] It is not probable that the recent abolition of the office of emperor (supposing the present revolutionary movement to maintain itself) will affect the essence of the existing cult.
[1813] In place of the emperor some high official personage will doubtless be deputed to conduct the national sacrifices.

[2006] Christmas, New Year's Day, May Day, Midsummer, All Souls, and others.
[2007] The protest in Prov. xxvi, 2, against this whole conception shows that it existed among the Jews down to a late time.
[2008] Totemic poles, with carved figures of animals, are found in Northwest America (Boas, _The Kwakiutl_; Swanton, in _Journal of American Folklore_, xviii, 108 ff.) and in South Nigeria (Partridge, _Cross River Natives_, p. 219); but these figures are rather tribal or clan symbols than idols.
[2009] The situation in Egypt was exceptional; after the idolatrous stage had been reached the old worship of the living animal survived.
[2010] Aniconic representations of deities in civilized communities (like the stone representing the Ephesian great goddess) are survivals from the old cult of natural objects.
[2011] Teraphim, 1 Sam. xix, 13 al.
[2012] In the literature they are guardians of sacred places (Gen. iii, 24) and throne-bearers of the deity (Ezek. i, 26; Ps. xviii, 11 [10]).
[2013] The numerous images mentioned in the Old Testament as worshiped by the Israelites appear to have been borrowed from neighboring peoples. The origin of the bull figures worshiped at Bethel and Dan is obscure, but they appear to represent the amalgamation of an old bull-cult with the cult of Yahweh.
[2014] Possibly the civilization of China was in earliest times identical with or similar to that Central Asiatic civilization out of which Mazdaism seems to have sprung. Cf. R. Pumpelly, in _Explorations in Turkestan_ (expedition of 1904), i, pp. xxiv, 7, chap. iv f.
[2015] The same feeling appears in the treatment of images of saints by some European peasants.
[2016] For Egyptian forms see Rawlinson, _History of Ancient Egypt_, vol. i; Maspero, _Dawn of Civilization_; for Semitic, Ohnefalsch-Richter, _Kypros, the Bible, and Homer_; for Indian, Lefmann, "Geschichte des alten Indiens" in Oncken's _Allgemeine Geschichte_.
[2017] Even the Hindu women's linga-cult is said to be sometimes morally innocent.
[2018] A church is here taken to be a voluntary religious body that holds out to its members the hope of redemption and salvation through association with a divine person or a cosmic power.

[2025] See the reference in the _Republic_ (ii, 364 f.) to the mendicant prophets with their formulas for expiation of sin and salvation from future punishment, and Demosthenes's derisive description of Æschines as mystagogue (_De Corona_, 313).
[2026] It is not clear that the peculiar cults described in Isa. lxv, 3-5; lxvi, 3 f., are of Semitic origin. Their history, however, is obscure--they are not referred to elsewhere in Jewish literature. In part they are, like the cults mentioned in Ezek. viii, 10, the adoption of the sacred animals of neighboring peoples; Isa. lxv, 5 seems to point to a close voluntary association with a ceremony of initiation, but nothing proves that the association was of Semitic origin.

[2034] The problem of life is stated to be how to get rid of desire, which is the source of all suffering; the Buddhist answer is that desire is eliminated by moral living, for which knowledge is necessary. So the Socratic school based virtue and happiness on knowledge. Cf. also the Biblical book of Proverbs.
[2035] It does not follow that every founder of a religion will establish a church; other things than the person of the founder, such as the nature of his teaching and the character of his social milieu, enter into the problem.
[2036] On current proposed reforms of Buddhism in Japan see Underwood, _Religions of Eastern Asia_, p. 222 ff.
[2037] The two last of these functions ceased on the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans (70 A.D.), the first remained.
[2038] Proselytes arose mostly from the general liberal tendency of the times (from about the second century B.C. and on), sometimes from lower impulses, sometimes they were made by force. See articles in Cheyne, _Encyclopædia Biblica_; Hastings, _Dictionary of the Bible_; and _Jewish Encyclopedia_.
[2039] They were virtually identified with the Jewish people. On the early form of voluntary devotion to a foreign deity see W. R. Smith, _Religion of the Semites_, 2d ed., p. 75 ff.
[2040] § 1115.
[2041] On attempts to discover forms of Christianity before Jesus see W. R. Smith, _Der vorchristliche Jesus_, and _Ecce Deus_; M. Friedländer, _Synagoge und Kirche_.
[2042] The two passages in the Gospels (Matt. xvi, 18; xviii, 17) in which the word "church" occurs appear clearly, on exegetical grounds, to be scribal insertions of the later period.
[2043] "Elder" and "apostle" are Jewish titles, and the reading of the Scriptures, prayer, and exhortation formed part of the synagogal service; see Schürer, _The Jewish People in the Time of Jesus Christ_ (Eng. tr.), II, ii, 52 ff., and article "Apostle" in _Jewish Encyclopedia_. Other offices arose in the church out of the peculiar conditions; the eucharistic meal appears to have been developed under non-Jewish influence.
[2044] So far has the idea of the civil character of the Church been carried that in some places the keeper of a licensed brothel has been required to be a member of the State Church.

[2056] This organization was first called the "Brahma-Samaj" (the Church of Brahma), later the "Adi-Samaj" (the First Church).
[2057] The Brahma-Samaj.
[2058] There are other theistic bodies in India. The Arya-Samaj (Aryan Church) derives its doctrines (monotheism and other) from the Veda (necessarily by a forced interpretation); it is a sort of protest against foreign (Christian) influence. See articles "Arya Samaj" and "Brahma Samaj" in Hastings, _Encyclopædia of Religion and Ethics_.

[2062] On the community founded by Pythagoras see the histories of philosophy; it appears to have embodied a suggestion of monastic life, but its origin is uncertain.
[2063] The Hebrew Nazirite vow, for example, was merely a consecration of a part of the body to the deity with the observance of old nomadic customs of food and dwellings.

[2071] From the geographical and historical conditions a Pythagorean origin (perhaps indirect) seems the more probable.

[2085] A creed usually contains also an affirmation of the authority of the book on which it is based. Some religious bodies do not regard any book as absolutely authoritative, and their creeds are merely expressions of their independent religious beliefs.
[2086] So among the Egyptians, Hebrews, Hindus, Greeks, Romans, and others.
[2087] Cf. Sabatier, _Authority in Religion_ (Eng. tr.), and the bibliography therein given.
[2088] The contention that a given religion must triumph because it is divine and its triumph is divinely predicted introduces a discussion that cannot be gone into here, where the object is to consider existing facts.
[2089] Babism (or Bahaism) also claims to be universal, but its origin is so recent that this claim cannot be tested.
[2090] Rhys Davids, _Buddhism_.
[2091] It has been professed by a few persons in Europe and America, but the so-called "theosophy" is not Buddhism. On supposed points of contact between the New Testament and Buddhism cf. C. F. Aiken, _The Dhamma of Gotama the Buddha and the Gospel of Jesus the Christ_.

[2094] Cases of adoption of alien cults bodily are here of course excluded; in such cases the cults are to be referred to the creators and not to the borrowers.
[2095] In some forms of Brahmanism, in Buddhism, and in some modern systems this Power is impersonal or undefined.
[2096] On Gautama's attitude toward divine beings cf. Rhys Davids, _Buddhism_, p. 87 f.; Hopkins, _Religions of India_, p. 333 f.

[2099] Confucian China and Shintoist Japan are excluded; but in both these countries Buddhism is widespread. Pure Confucianism is not a religion, and the old Shinto is no longer believed in by educated Japanese.
[2100] Cf. Tiele, _Elements of the Science of Religion_, Index, s.v.
[2101] Myths, it may be remarked, are not confined to the uncivilised and the old national cults; they are found in all great religious systems.
[2102] See, in this connection, the account of the faith of the philosopher Sallustius, the Emperor Julian's friend, by Professor Gilbert Murray, "A Pagan Creed," in the _English Review_ for December, 1909. The term 'pagan' now has a connotation that is singularly out of accord with the character of a man like Sallustius.
[2103] § 14 f.
[2104] Examples are the Copernican and Newtonian theories; the magnitude of the stellar universe; Biblical criticism; the theories of evolution and the conservation of energy.
[2105] The general religious attitude may be the same whether the world be regarded as monistic or as pluralistic.
[2106] See above, § 172.
[2107] Cf. L. T. Hobhouse, _Morals in Evolution_, part ii, chaps. v-vii.
[2108] An example is the Old-Hebrew usage respecting marriage with a half-sister or with a wife (not one's mother) of a father. Up to about the seventh century B.C. such marriages were lawful (Gen. xx, 12; 2 Sam. xiii, 13; xvi, 22); later they were forbidden (Ezek. xxii, 10 f.; Lev. xviii, 11). Maspero (in the _Annuaire de l'école des hautes études_, 1896) points out that in Egypt marriage between uterine brothers and sisters in the royal family was not only legal but a sacred duty, its object being to maintain the purity of the divine blood.
[2109] See above, §§ 107, 180, 219.
[2110] Amos ii, 7; Hos. iv, 14.
[2111] The Old Testament command to exterminate the Canaanites (Deut. vii, 2; xxv, 19; Josh. vi-xi) is not historical, that is, was not given at the time stated or at any other time. The Israelites, in fact, settled down among the Canaanites and intermarried with them, and at the time when the passages just cited were written (seventh century and later) there were no such alien tribes in Canaan. But these passages show how a current barbarous custom of war could be regarded by religious leaders as pleasing to God.
[2112] See § 630 ff.
[2113] So, for example, Butler's _Analogy_.
[2114] It is an exaggeration to say (as has been said) that the sentiment of the sacred obligation of opinion was first formulated or created in the world by the early Christian martyrs--before their time Socrates, Jews in the Antiochian persecution, and probably others, had embodied this sentiment--but the Christian devotion helped to make it a generally recognized ethical principle.

[2116] See above, § 1163.
[2117] Ezek. xiv, 9.
[2118] It is this sort of insensate optimism that Voltaire ridicules in _Candide_--a just and useful protest against a superficial view of life.
