Edward Carpenter

Carpenter delves into the fascinating journey of religious evolution, from the earliest forms of worship and magic to the intricate doctrines of Paganism and Christianity. The book examines the psychological aspects behind the formation of religious rites, symbols, and deities, suggesting that these elements are deeply intertwined with the growth of human consciousness. Carpenter discusses various theories and schools of thought in religious study, including the worship of sun gods, earth and nature spirits, and the significant role of fear and self-consciousness in shaping religious experiences. This work stands out for its holistic approach, considering contributions from various perspectives and acknowledging the interconnectedness of Pagan and Christian traditions. Pagan & Christian Creeds is a must-read for those interested in the historical and psychological underpinnings of religious beliefs and their evolution over time.

Edward Carpenter (1844 - 1929) was an English philosopher, poet, and pioneering activist for gay rights. He had many notable friends including the Bengali polymath Rabindranath Tagore and celebrated American poet Walt Whitman; and also corresponded with many famous figures, including Jack London, Mahatma Gandhi and Annie Besant, amongst others. Contents include: "Solar Myths and Christian Festivals", "The Symbolism of the Zodiac", "Totem-Sacraments and Eucharists", "Food and Vegetation Magic", "Magicians, Kings and Gods", "Rites of Expiation and Redemption", "Pagan Initiations and the Second Birth", "Myth of the Golden Age", "The Savior-god and the Virgin-mother", "Ritual Dancing", "The Sex-Taboo", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

Late studies in the Psychology of Sex have led to some interesting speculations with regard to the poet Shelley; the author writes a few lines by way of introduction to the following paper by the author's friend, which puts very clearly, as the author thinks, some points in Shelley's temperament which have hitherto been neglected or misunderstood, and which call for renowned consideration. Not having author himself made a special study of the Modern Psychology, the author does not pretend to certify to the absolute truth of the theories put forward by the author, but he does certainly think, after due consideration, that they are worthy of very careful study.
