Haddon is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the anthropological and psychological aspects of magic and fetishism, exploring their significance in the context of human culture and belief systems. Haddon discusses various forms of magic, such as sympathetic and homoeopathic magic, and explains the role of fetishes as objects imbued with spiritual or magical significance. At the start of the book, Haddon acknowledges the challenge of adequately covering such a vast subject within the limited scope of a primer. He begins by outlining the concept of sympathetic magic, emphasizing its universal presence across cultures. He provides examples of contagious magic, where elements like hair or nails are believed to retain a connection to the individual. Haddon aims to illustrate how these beliefs persist even among modern societies, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the psychological and social functions of magic and fetishism throughout the text.
