Today I stopped to whatch a video in the NGV (National Gallery of Victoria) on an aboriginal artist who paints on bark. What I found most interesting is firstly he was speaking in a tribal tongue and secondly that the language when translated had words that were equivelent to supernatural and magic.This paiting on bark is very magical, in fact the artist can see supernatural movements and images - divination through his art work.
What a shame there is so little around about the hertitage and the magic of this culture. hmmmm....
Anyways my heritage is german and that has prompted my current studying of germanic runelore and magic. This is a very intriging subject perhaps most interesting is the psychology developed by the ancient vikings/northern europe cultures. They have what can be describe as a complete system for soul development and work. Germanic culture is very aggressive and battle oriented and it integrates and embraces the animalistic part of ourselves.
Im quite sure 8-C's can be contrast agaisnt this, im just trying to work out how exactly and some exercises to help one gain access to some of the soul/runelore's power (a mysterious sort of power almost zen like but with a dark side) . I think theres almost a book in it.....nonetheless I plan to write my first proper article around this subject and it will be coming soon. The next one might a translation of Aboriginal shamanism into the 8-c's as well, so many things to do and so little time.
the germanic is very cool. remember that baddy henchman in city hunter? he was a german martial artist. german martial arts are very cool. steeped in the climate and looking after the muscles with the potions, balms, etc... at the disposal of such culture (1st grade)
