Is there any publication on the relationship between soil and religion. Are there any Gods of soil? What rituals are associated with soil?
Thank you
Hi Jan, yes, there are some. I did not studied this topic much, I cannot recommend a direct paper, but this could be helpful for start:
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/263659014_Gods_of_Soil_Mythopedology
http://soil-research.com/sr/?p=165
some indian rituals of Mati (soil) are mentioned in this book:
https://books.google.cz/books?id=JC-014hKeKAC&dq=soil+deity&hl=cs&source=gbs_navlinks_s
some studies by Gregory Rettalack are mentioned here:
http://www.monbiot.com/2005/03/22/god-of-the-soil/
and maybe some info will be here (Ethnopedology issue of Geoderma):
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/00167061/111/3
This is very nice and interesting question, I will definitely follow it!
Sincerely
