  1. What are you listening to?

    On another musical note , I am still working every day on our festival site for the upcoming 3 day event . Its all starting to look familiar like it did in the old days when we had one nearly ever year. Got nearly all the grass cut and the main area looking nice and green in front of the stage and market place. A lot of building and carpentry gt oing on. I am still skinning the frame work of the toilet blocks and showers in bamboo. There are several huge trees scattered about and occasional clumping bamboo groves , a huge running grove of bamboo along the river front. The stage is set back on the south side facing the river on the north side, then it goes up an escarpment to cliffs and waterfalls ..amazing acoustics ! Was playing some of the above there yesterday when working - awesome ! Might take this opportunity for another plug http://www.cognitiveroots.com.au/

  4. In black magic

    The basics of magic are the same as the basics of science , its just that a particular limited view of how nature worked (back in the past ) became attached to those basics, instead if people seeing how they applied to the new science , as the new science shattered the old limited view. Also a few other things came in, like people thinking science was not quiet the study of 'nature' and learned from 'natural processes' , of course it is ... and does. Gravity, sub atomic interactions, formations of solar systems and herbal medicines are all part of 'nature' .

  6. In black magic

    Huh ? Magic works fine for me and I know exactly what is happening . But then again, it depends on one's definition of magic ..... doesn't it ? Hmmmm ...... I've seen it work on someone who had no idea what was afoot . I suppose it could be put down to 'coincidence' ( the best perceived result a black magician can expect .... if they were silly enough to give away what they were up to ... but then again, there is that definition thingo ... this time complicated by the potential meaning of 'black' . Its relative ..... what may be magic for for me, might not fit your definition or visa versa I always liked this one ; "Magic is the Highest, most Absolute, and most Divine Knowledge of Natural Philosophy, advanced in its works and wonderful operations by a right understanding of the inward and occult virtue of things; so that true Agents being applied to proper Patients, strange and admirable effects will thereby be produced. Whence magicians are profound and diligent searchers into Nature; they, because of their skill, know how to anticipate an effect, the which to the vulgar shall seem to be a miracle." The Goetia of the Lemegeton of King Solomon. And going along with this , the '4th theorem' ; " The first requisite for causing any change is thorough qualitative and quantitative understanding of the conditions. " Understanding the 23rd theorem seems essential; " Magick is the Science of understanding oneself and one's conditions " http://www.sacred-texts.com/oto/aba/defs.htm

  10. need healthy criticism

    It sounded like the inside of my head when I had too many Avil tablets ... unpleasant and i wish it would go away . Fortunately, unlike the avil tablets, I could just turn it off. The picture looks like its made up of small cylindrical beads strung horizontally , reminds me of one of those 'bead curtains'; I actually dont mind it, as I like those colours, I would like it better as an abstract , without the suggestion of images. To me it looks like two images on a screen that were put through some type of 'art effect' program . In short , neither seem human or creative, more like someone playing with the buttons.

  22. Burning Down the House

    Some more interesting info about this culture ; Comparison of Cucuteni-Trypillia (old pre Indo-European Europe / 'Old Europe Culture ' ) and Yamna cultures (Indo European 'horse people ) - the 'Patriarchy 'arrives in Europe . Origins : CT Blending of the Boian culture, with some traces of the Hamangia culture (both originally from Anatolia), and the Musical note culture (also known as the Middle Linear Pottery culture, or "LBK"), from the northern Subcarpathian region of southeastern Poland and western Ukraine; all of which were Neolithic and non-Indo-European. Y An amalgam of Eneolithic Proto-Indo-European tribes from the southern region of the great Pontic steppe, mostly along river valleys, including (from west to east) the Dniester, the Bug, the Dnieper, the Donetz, the Don, West Manych, and the middle Volga rivers. Agricultural model CT Sedentistic subsistence agriculture[6] Y Pastoral nomadism[2] Social stratification CT Egalitarian acephalous society[6] Y Tribal chiefdom with social hierarchical levels[2] Economic model CT Generalized reciprocity or gift economy[6] Traditional economy featuring trade bartering[2] Division of labour No occupational specialization, each household produced all necessary goods and services independently.[6] Y Many specialized occupations, including priests, warriors, healers, metalsmiths, traders, herders, and slaves.[2] Technological Sophistication Superior work in agricultural techniques, as well as in ceramics, compared to the Yamna. Cucuteni-Trypillia ceramics have been found in Yamna sites.[2] Superior work in copper metalworking than the Cucuteni-Trypillia during the Eneolithic. Later, the Yamna worked in brass, and some of their brass artifacts have been found in Cucuteni-Trypillia sites. The Yamna also used domestic horses for travel, which the Cucuteni-Trypillia culture most likely did not have.[2] Militarization CT Almost no artifacts have been found that would have been meant for defense against a human enemy. No skeletal remains have been found that would indicate the person had been killed with a weapon. Only at the end of their culture did they begin to build walls and ditches around their settlements, yet still no weapons have been found.[7] Y The Yamna perfected military weapons, rode domesticated horses, and probably conducted raids against other peoples regularly. Many weapons have been found in their grave sites.[2] In addition, they also constructed hill-top fortresses, similar to the Medieval Motte-and-bailey design.[8] Religion CT The archaeological record indicates the worship of a female fertility goddess. There is also evidence to indicate that they used clay fetishes in various ritualistic purposes, ranging from fertility to sigils for protection against evil spirits or human enemies.[9] Y There is evidence to indicate that they probably participated in ritual human sacrifice of captured enemies. They worshipped a warlike male deity.[10] Trade network CT Very rudimentary trade network involving only a handful of goods, the most important of which was salt. No indication of traders or merchants as a profession.[2] Some evidence does indicate the possible use of barter tokens as an early form of exchange. Y An extensive trade network spanning a large region from central and southeast Europe to modern-day Kazakhstan and Russia, involving many trade goods, and indication of a class of merchants and traders.[2] Encounters with each other Starting around 4500 BC, Cucuteni-Trypillia settlements began to appear in western Ukraine, where they encountered Yamna tribes. Some scholars hold that this is partly the cause for the creation of very large settlements in this region, to aid in defense against Yamna raids.[2] Also beginning around 4500 BC, the Yamna culture began to establish settlements as far west as Transylvania, which existed side-by-side with Cucuteni-Trypillia settlements.[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declin...pillia_culture
