Thus in anthropologicscience there are three ways by which, to go back in the history of anycivilized people and learn of its barbaric physitheism. But of theverity of this stage we have further evidence. When Christianity wascarried north from Central Europe, the champions of the new philosophy, and its consequent religion, discovered, among those who dwelt by theglaciers of the north, a barbaric philosophy which they have preservedto history in the Eddas and Sagas, and Norse literature is ful...l of aphilosophy in a transition state, from physitheism to psychotheism; and, mark! the people discovered in this transition state were inventing analphabet--they were carving Runes. Then a pure physitheism wasdiscovered in the Aztec barbarism of Mexico; and elsewhere on the globemany people were found in that stage of culture to which this philosophyproperly belongs. Thus the existence of physitheism as a stage ofphilosophy is abundantly attested. Comparative mythologists are agreedin recognizing these two stages.
