I'm reading Frazer's "The Golden Bough". Fascinating though it is, I find his voice difficult to deal with: patronising, colonial, dismissive, haughty...

His urgency in debunking magical practices as superstition, delusion and "errors", may be exasperating, but it exposes his deep insecurity.
It was all real, bro. 🧙‍♀️🌳
