Star Wars and The Golden Bough

"The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion (1911-1915), by Scottish anthropologist Sir James George Frazer (1854-1941). Draws parallels between mythic beliefs of cultures from all over the world."

"Frazer's book is outdated in a few small ways, but is still considered one of the great books of the 20th century, and for an excellent reason: Frazer was the first person in the world to map out the mechanics of what we might call "magical thinking,” the essential building block of mythos ("sacred story," Greek). The book makes an excellent argument that magical thinking is one of the primary keys to understanding human consciousness."

"Frazer was an enormous influence on Joseph Campbell, Ursula Le Guin and Frank Herbert. If you nurture ambitions to write, especially to write "mythic" fiction, Frazer's brilliant book is without question on the short-list of recommended reading."
