Totem Sacraments And The Eucharists

Totem Sacraments and the Eucharist is a book written by Edward Carpenter that explores the connections between Native American totemism and the Christian sacrament of the Eucharist. Carpenter was a British writer and philosopher who was interested in exploring the similarities and differences between different religious traditions. In this book, he argues that there are important parallels between the Native American practice of using totems as symbols of spiritual power and the Christian practice of using bread and wine to symbolize the body and blood of Christ. Carpenter draws on a wide range of sources to support his argument, including anthropological studies of Native American religions, historical accounts of Christian sacramental practices, and his own personal experiences of both traditions. He also considers the implications of these similarities for modern religious practice, suggesting that the totemic and sacramental traditions can offer valuable insights into the nature of spiritual experience and the relationship between human beings and the divine. Overall, Totem Sacraments and the Eucharist is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the connections between different religious traditions. It will be of interest to anyone interested in comparative religion, anthropology, or spirituality.THIS 22 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Pagan and Christian Creeds: Their Origin and Meaning, by Edward Carpenter.
