That to the ancient women who still kept up the irrational remnant of the wasp-worship, beneath the sacred tree, other women might resort; not merely from curiosity, or an excited imagination, but from jealousy and revenge.
But if they became poor and weakly, their brains and imagination, degenerating with their bodies, would degrade their wasp-worship till they knew not what it meant. Away from the sacred tree, in a country the wasps of which were not so large or formidable, they would require a remembrancer of the wasp-king; and they would make one a wasp of wood, or what not.
This, I say, would be the culminating point of the wasp-worship, which had sprung up out of bodily fear of being stung. But times might come for it in which it would go through various changes, through which every superstition in the world, I suppose, has passed or is doomed to pass. The wasp-men might be conquered, and possibly eaten, by a stronger tribe than themselves. What would be the result?
