Note 522 — Chapter IV · TOTEMIC BELIEFS—end The Individual Totem and the Sexual Totem
Joseph Ward Swain translation
"The totem resembles the patron of the individual no more than an escutcheon resembles the image of a saint," says Tylor (op. cit., p. 2). Likewise, if Frazer has taken up the theory of Tylor, it is because he refuses all religious character to the totem of the clan (Totemism and Exogamy, III, p. 452).
