"I would believe only in a God that knows how to dance." ~Friedrich Nietzsche

"It was a mythic time. None of us suspected that that world --made of music, songs, poverty, joy, desperation, custom, violence, injustice, love, dialect, and poverty formed over the course of millenia-- would be swept away in a couple of years... by the voodoo of 'progress.'" -Vittorio De Seta

Salve, Salut, Xairete, etc.
Because sometimes you just have to let it all out.
Dance until you pass out.
Drum until your hands bleed.
Chant until you can't even whisper.
Or perhaps... not even then.
Welcome to Ecstasia.

Comment by SIN JONES on March 13, 2013 at 8:04pm: any new songs? I need me some new songs.

Comment by Spoonicus on March 12, 2013 at 7:18pm: Aw, it had character. *Chuckles*

Comment by SIN JONES on March 12, 2013 at 10:44am: It was an old map, apparently. Replaced.

Comment by Spoonicus on March 12, 2013 at 9:19am: Haha! I just noticed the "Soviet Union" in the upper right corner of our map of the Med. Oh wow. Eh... you get the jist of the region.

I found this article today. A group in VA is recording Dante's Divine Comedy in song. :-)

Comment by Spoonicus on August 11, 2011 at 2:26pm: Sin, I need your blood hound skills. Can you find the Derveni Papyrus in Greek? I'll buy a book if I have to but I would prefer not to have to spend $150 on it.

Comment by Spoonicus on August 11, 2011 at 12:41pm: Sin, I have been working in depth with Slavic history and culture for about a month now. I haven't pulled up any chants yet. I'm sort of centered on Fruili and Bulgaria and working my way inwards but I'm almost certain that I will eventually find something you can use. ;-)

Comment by Spoonicus on August 11, 2011 at 12:40pm: Spent most of the morning working on the next Ecstasia book. I have decided to put everything into a single volume. It includes a selection of chants, drum playing techniques, rhythms for everything and probably best of all it goes into all of the details on possession that I have been sitting on for forever. Plus its much more detailed in regards to specific trance traditions around the Med. All in all, looking like its going to be a pretty awesome book. I'm very proud of it and I can't wait to get it done. Hopefully will accomplish that over the Winter and have it out by Spring 2012. <3

Comment by Spoonicus on July 29, 2011 at 7:15pm: I'll do some poking around and see what I can find.
