AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This source contains the texts of a considerable body of Ifugao myths. Barton demonstrates the Ifugao use of these myths in sympathetic magic. The author attempts to correlate different types of magic with social organization. Accordingly, the Ifugao are supposed to be moving from tribal society to class society as indicated by their magical forms which are in transition from sympathetic magic to word and name magic.
