Grasping at straws for the "universal story"

Carlo Ginzburg: Ecstasies (2004, University Of Chicago Press) 5 stars Some good research on ecstatic ceremonies that survived from pre-Christian times into the medieval era in Italy, but then the author goes off the rails and tries to link what little we know about these celtic, pre-Christian religions to the Campbell-istic/Jungian hero's journey BS
