  2. Mist. Wollte mir eigentlich für #fieldrecording ein schönes #soma #ether zulegen um neue Quellen für noise und drone zu erschließen, aber leider hat auch das zweite Gerät ein ständig rhythmisch knackendes Störgeräusch auf den Ausgängen. Das wird dann wohl nix mit dem Ether und mir.

    Aber zumindest hat #thomann eine schöne Problembeschreibung von mir bekommen.

  3. Something I would love to know more about are the #ElusinianMysteries. But thanks to the cult's secrecy (and #Christianity), we may never know all the details...

    Elusinian Mysteries

    There were two Eleusinian rites – the Lesser One, and the Greater One. While the details of these rites were a carefully guarded secret, what is known is that the Greater Rite took place over many days, involved #music and #dancing, #sacrifices of grain and a bull, #ritual purification in a river, and the consumption of a #SacredBeverage that was believed to be #hallucinogenic.
    The beverage, known as #kykeon, was made from #barley, #pennyroyal, and other ingredients.

    It is analogous to the Sacred #Soma / #Homa beverage of the #IndoIranians. While the Cult of #Eleusius was closed down by the #Christian #RomanEmporers, elements of the cult “survived in the Greek countryside,” into the rites of “#SaintDemetrius of #Thessalonki.”
