The Golden Bough
A Study in Magic and Religion
(E?)(L?) http://www.bartleby.com/196/
Sir James George Frazer
A monumental study in comparative folklore, magic and religion, The Golden Bough shows parallels between the rites and beliefs, superstitions and taboos of early cultures and those of Christianity. It had a great impact on psychology and literature and remains an early classic anthropological resource.

Halloween (W3)
(E?)(L?) http://www.halloween.com/
(E1)(L1) http://www.worldwidewords.org/
Ein heidnisches Fest kehrt über die USA nach Europa zurück
Das Wort "Halloween" geht auf "hallows' eve" ("Vorabend von Allerheiligen") zurück, und das Fest wird dementsprechend am 31. Oktober gefeiert. Ursprünglich begingen an diesem Tag die Kelten und Angelsachsen das Ende des Sommers bzw. den Anfang des Winters, der mit dem Beginn des neuen Jahres zusammenfiel. Es war das Fest des Totengottes Samhain, der nun nach dem Sonnengott die Herrschaft übernahm. Nach keltischem Glauben wurde am Abend von Samhain den Seelen der im Vorjahr Verstorbenen eine kurze Rückkehr nach Hause erlaubt. Da der Sage nach an diesem Abend viele Geister, Hexen, Kobolde und Dämonen umherschweiften, beging man die Feier zum großen Teil mit Feuern, die die bösen Wesen vertreiben, und mit Opfern, die sie besänftigen sollten. Außerdem maskierte man sich zu diesem Zweck.
Im Jahre 837 ordnete Papst Gregor IV. an, dass am 1. November das Allerheiligenfest gefeiert werden sollte. Auf diese Weise wurde das heidnische Fest durch einen christlichen Hintergrund entschärft.
Schon beim Samhainsfest spielte die Herstellung von Masken aus Kartoffeln oder Rüben eine Rolle. Als im 19. Jahrhundert Halloween, vor allem durch irische Einwanderer, in den Vereinigten Staaten populär wurde, ersetzte man diese Feldfrüchte durch den Kürbis. Heute ziehen die Kinder mit kerzenerleuchteten Kürbismasken ("jack-o'-lantern") von Haus zu Haus und fragen: "Trick or treat?", d. h., ob sie einen Streich spielen sollen oder ob sie ein Geschenk erhalten. Im Allgemeinen bekommen sie Süßigkeiten, und Streiche werden nicht ausgeführt.
Ebenso wie andere Feste wurde Halloween von der Industrie als willkommene Absatzgelegenheit genutzt, vor allem Masken und Kostüme haben kurz vor Halloween Hochkonjunktur. In den USA ist Halloween bereits ein größerer Umsatzschlager als Ostern oder Muttertag und rangiert nicht weit hinter Weihnachten.
Inzwischen hat das Fest auch in Deutschland und anderen europäischen Ländern Einzug gehalten. Halloween-Partys sind unter deutschen Jugendlichen bereits eine beliebte Veranstaltung. Vereinzelt wird das Kinderfest Halloween von älteren Jugendlichen und Erwachsenen auch wieder mit einem dämonischen bzw. erotischen Charakter versehen, und der Begriff "Halloween" wird in Gruselfilmen und -romanen eingesetzt.

Whangdoodle (W3)
Engl. "whangdoodle" = "imaginäres Wesen", "Fabeltier", "Dingsbums" trat 1858 zum ersten Mal in einer amerikanischen Zeitschrift auf.
Mit etwas Fantasie kommt man mit den Bestandteilen engl. "whang" = "Knall", "Krach", "Bums", bzw. als Verb engl. "to whang" = "knallen", "schießen", "krachen", "bumsen" und engl. "doodle" = "gekritzelte Figur" auf "Fantasiefigur". Aber ob "Whangdoodle" wirklich mit den Einzelteilen erklärbar ist, bleibt offen.

Synopsis
Do you "know" that posh comes from an acronym meaning "port out, starboard home"? That "the whole nine yards" comes from (pick one) the length of a WWII gunner's belt; the amount of fabric needed to make a kilt; a sarcastic football expression? That Chicago is called "The Windy City" because of the bloviating habits of its politicians, and not the breeze off the lake? If so, you need this book. David Wilton debunks the most persistently wrong word histories, and gives, to the best of our actual knowledge, the real stories behind these perennially mis-etymologized words. In addition, he explains why these wrong stories are created, disseminated, and persist, even after being corrected time and time again. What makes us cling to these stories, when the truth behind these words and phrases is available, for the most part, at any library or on the Internet? Arranged by chapters, this book avoids a dry A-Z format. Chapters separate misetymologies by kind, including The Perils of Political Correctness (picnics have nothing to do with lynchings), Posh, Phat Pommies (the problems of bacronyming-the desire to make every word into an acronym), and CANOE (which stands for the Conspiracy to Attribute Nautical Origins to Everything). Word Myths corrects long-held and far-flung examples of wrong etymologies, without taking the fun out of etymology itself. It's the best of both worlds: not only do you learn the many wrong stories behind these words, you also learn why and how they are created - and what the real story is.
