"Dieu est mort ? Pas du tout. Et les dieux non plus. Outre la Grèce et Rome, j'ai choisi celles et ceux que je préférais dans les cinq continents, au Japon, en Sibérie, en Australie, aux îles Samoa, sans oublier quelques cruelles divinités Aztèques."Dans nos contrées, Dieu est au singulier, absolu. Les dieux grecs et romains sont l'objet d'une curiosité nostalgique mais pour un tiers de l'humanité, les dieux sont bien vivants. En Inde, trois cents millions de dieux et de déesses forniquent et combattent avec une joyeuse frénésie ; en Afrique, génies, djinns, vodouns enracinent les humains à leur sol ; en Chine, un héros bâtisseur boite pour avoir sacrifié la moitié de son corps au fleuve Jaune... Je les aime depuis mon enfance et j'ai choisi celles et ceux que je préférais dans les cinq continents. J'aime les dieux parce qu'ils sont novateurs : ils pratiquent les procréations assistées, le changement de genre, le devenir animal. À regarder de près notre Dieu singulier, qu'il s'appelle Adonaï, Jésus ou Allah, les dieux soi-disant morts lui ont inoculé un peu de leurs substances. Dieu est mort ? Pas du tout. Les dieux non plus.

This book re-assesses archaeological research into holy well sites in Ireland and the evidence for votive deposition at watery sites throughout northwest European prehistory. Ray examines a much-ignored and diminishing archaeological resource; moving beyond debates about the possible Celticity of these sites in order to gain a deeper understanding of patterns among sacred watery sites. The work considers how and why sacred springs are archaeologically-resistant sites and what has actually been found at the few excavated in Ireland. Drawing on the early Irish literature (the myths, hagiographies, penitentials and annals), the author gives an account of pre-Christian supermundane wells in Ireland and what we know about their early Christian use for baptism, and concludes by considering the origins of “rounding” rituals at holy wells.

The Anthropology of Western Religions: Ideas, Organizations, and Constituencies is a comparative survey of the world's major religious traditions as professional enterprises and, often, as social movements. Documenting the principle ideas behind Western religious traditions from an anthropological perspective, Murray J.
