Many people, after they have boast. ed of their good luck, proteed to "touch wood." So did our remote an- cestors; the tree worshippers. An authority on such mattere wrote: "The remarkable similarity in customs all ever -Europe pb-ints -to the conclu- eion that tree -warship was an import- ant element in the early religion of. mankind, especially of the Aryan stock, and the singular uniforraltyne rites and ceremonies -which can easily be shown to exist in,widely separated • etnintriee warrants as in believing that they cannot have changed much:feom ' very remote ages; and that the pine- ticee continued down to a very recent period—some even among .ourselv-00-- I were. substantially identical evith the rites and ceremonies obseewed by 1 Egyptians, Etruseene, Greeks, and Ro- mans." The primitive belief was that spirits resided In:trees. Without this basio idea being entirely lost there came the period of the Sacred 'Groves and tht; Druiti's Oaks, and then the dedi- cation of certain sortle of trees to the earliest and simpliese teem of, ,the superstition. ' • We touch wood to call the attention of the tree spirit to the tact that we recoguize his binnente in the good luck of which we boast, and In order thet he may, not feel slighted and thaege our good tertane into bad; at least, that is why OUT itlICASt0,178 01101- 1 ed WOOti, The Difference.
