Celtic Fairy Tales, Notes and References, sentence 68
The belief in an external soul "Life Index," recently monographed by Mr. Frazer in his "Golden Bough," also finds expression in a couple of the Tales (see notes on "Sea-Maiden" and "Fair, Brown, and Trembling"), and so with many other primitive ideas.
Who acts: belief · What happens: monograph, find, see · To what, where: Life Index, Golden Bough, expression, couple, notes, Sea Maiden
