Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of American Folk-Lore, 1919, Vol. 18 The Frog Prince is particularly interesting, since it combines, in some of its versions, disenchantment by personal contact with disen chantment by decapitation or by some other method of killing the magical body. In some forms of the great class of animal-spouse tales, the mysterious husband is a man by night and an animal (frog, serpent, wolf, etc.) by day, and lays aside his beast-skin when he assumes human shape.3 This gives us a clear insight into the real meaning of disenchantment by beheading.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of American Folk-Lore, 1919, Vol. 18 Then the Turk bade Gawain strike off his head; and when this was done, he "stood up a stalwart knight," sang Te Deum, and thanked Gawain heartily. On another occasion I hope to discuss these romances fully. For the present, I will, with your permission, confine myself to the single incident of Unspelling Decapitation, which is common to them both. In the Carl, the bespelled person is a cruel monster until he is released from enchantment; in the Turk, he takes the role of Helpful Attendant, performing superhuman tasks as a substitute for the hero. In both, he urges the reluctant Gawain to cut off his head, and this is the final act in a somewhat complicated process of disenchantment. The efficacy of decapitation in undoing a spell is a widespread popular belief, and many of the tales in which it occurs are otherwise parallel either to The Carl of Carlisle or to The Turk and Gawain. In what follows, there is, of course, no attempt at exhaustiveness. My purpose has been to illustrate the belief by means of typical examples, and to bring out its significance as an article of the popular creed. We may begin with the Decapitation of Helpful Animals. In a Gaelic tale a serviceable steed bids the hero "take a sword and... take the head off me." The hero objecting, the horse replies: "In me there is a young girl under spells, and the spells will not be off me till the head is taken off me." In the same story a serviceable raven makes a similar request: "A young lad under spells am I, and they will not be off me till the head comes off me." The pair are transformed and make a fine couple. This is an instructive example because it is outspoken. Usually, however, and more properly, the animal does not tell the hero or heroine why the beheading is to be performed. So, for instance, in a Swedish tale, Den underbare Hasten, the horse simply asks the hero to strike off his head, and when this is done he recovers his proper shape, that of a prince, the brother of the heroine.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of American Folk-Lore, Vol. 22 Not many days after this mysterious disappearance, a little bird settled on the barabara and sang. Although the woman listened attentively, she could not make out what it said. About the same time on the succeeding day the little bird sang again; but this time the woman thought she heard the bird say, Your husband is not dead. He is living with an other woman at the mouth of the river. This same song was repeated on the third morning. Hearing this sad news, the woman felt very bitter towards her husband, and she wept a great deal. She spent the rest of the day in pr sparing food for her children to last them three days, and early next morning set out for the mouth of the river. From the top of every hill she searched diligently for signs of habitation. Towards noon she sighted a but, to which she walked and went in.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of American Folk-Lore, 1913, Vol. 12 I have heard a tale, but I know not where it originated, of an English gentleman who had spent some time among wild tribes in a foreign land, and on returning to his home wrote a book about them. One chapter was headed Customs and Manners, and consisted simply of these words: Customs, beastly; manners, none. This represents the mental attitude of the average European toward more primitive people. We are apt to regard our own morals and man ners as standards, and to think that those who have them not have none. It is difficult to understand that the virtues of one people may be the crimes of another, and vice versa. Yet such is often the case. We are apt to forget that among ourselves morals may be vastly changed in a single generation, and that what is commendable on the part of the father may be execrated on the part of the son. The history of the duello, for instance, exemplifies this. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

It may be that the minds of different races show differences of organization; that is to say, the laws of mental activity may not be the same for all minds. But it may also be that the organization of mind is practically identical among all races of man; that mental activity follows the same laws every where, but that its manifestations depend upon the character of individual experience that is subjected to the action of these laws.
