Grimm's German Mythology, translated by Stallybrass, 4 vols. Grimm's Fairy Tales. Mr. Lang writes an Introduction to the English translation in Bell's edition. Mannhardt, Germanische Mythen, 1858, and Wald- und Feld-kulte, 1875, 77. For the later Northern section, Vigfusson and Powell's Corpus Poeticum Boreale, especially the Excursus on Religion, i. 401.
For evidence of the widespread character of Medieval and Modern survivals we have only to consult the epoch-making works of Mannhardt, Wald und Feld-Kulte, and Frazer, The Golden Bough; in the pages of these volumes we shall find more than sufficient for our purpose.
The practice subsists in Indian ritual to this hour, and the surviving traces in European Folk-custom have been noted in full by Mannhardt in his exhaustive work on Wald und Feld-Kulte; its existence in Classic times is well known, and it is certainly one of the living Folk-customs for which a well-attested chain of descent can be cited.
