APG 236 - Spirits, Souls, and Power


3 Credits

An anthropological study of religion and magic on folk and formal levels of beliefs and practice. The focus is upon concepts of spirits, souls, and impersonal supernatural power; together with associated sacredness of place and object, ritual patterns, ritual specialists, and, frequently, altered states of awareness. Attention is given to classical and contemporary forms of shamanism and to religious syncretism.
