What reading level is The Origin of Primitive Superstitions And Their Development Into the Worship of book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
257 The Chlbchas had an annual ceremony connected with their calendar, in which the toad had a prominent place. It held a prominent place among their divinities. When springing, it represents the sign Ata ; when engraved with a tail, it repre- sents 12, because it has left the rest of the months behind.
On some stones the toad is seen without feet, and probably represents the sign Gurta. The toad is used often in composite figures, such as a man with the head of a toad, a tailed toad, and the b...ody of a toad with a tunic* The frog also held a place among the divinities of the Tol- tecs. Frog-shaped idols were found at TuIIa, the ancient capital of the Toltecs. These croaking annoyers of some marshy neighborhood were undoubtedly raised to the dignity of divinities, and propitiated by the offer of an occasional sacri- fice. And so, perhaps, was the grasshopper, images of which, cut out of red marble and beautifully polished, were found. It was said to be the god of Chapultepec' The Peruvians near the sea-coast worshipped sardines ; also the golden fish, on account of its beauty, and crabs and craw- fish where they were abundant.3 Every small insect was an object of superstitious fear.
