Note 732 — Chapter III · SYMPATHETIC MAGIC (continued 4)
Reading edition
Meantime I may refer to The Golden Bough, Second Edition, iii. 350 sqq. For other superstitions concerning the afterbirth and navel-string see H. Ploss, Das Kind,² i. 15 sqq., ii. 198 sq. The connexion of these parts of the body with the idea of the external soul has already been indicated by Mr. E. Crawley (The Mystic Rose, London, 1902, p. 119).
