It is now easy to understand why a savage should desire to partake of the flesh of an animal or man whom he regards as divine. By eating the body of the god he shares in the god’s attributes and powers. And when the god is a corn-god, the corns is his proper body; when he is a vine-god, the juice of the grape is his blood; and by eating the bread and drinking the wine the worshipper partakes of the real body and blood of his god.
