The Golden Bough attempts to define the shared elements of
religious belief, ranging from ancient belief systems to relatively
modern religions such as Christianity. Its thesis is that old
religions were fertility cults that revolved around the worship of,
and periodic sacrifice of, a sacred king. This king was the
incarnation of a dying and reviving god, a solar deity who
underwent a mystic marriage to a goddess of the Earth, who died at
the harvest, and was reincarnated in the spring. Frazer claims that
this legend is central to almost all of the world's mythologies.
