th century book
The Golden Bough :
A Study in Comparative Religion . Magical rituals were the source of what would become secular art. Here we shall analyze this assertion in the context of the Hamatsa dance of the Kwakiutl people of Canada.
Ritual Stripped of its Magical Value: Looking at the Hamatsa Dance
English folklorist Jessie Weston, in fact, tried to show magical rituals could be the source of secular art in the case of the grail story in her book
From Ritual to Romance , an early 20
th century work that influenced T.S. Eliot’s poem
The Wasteland . A magical ritual would be created to bring about some natural goal beneficial to a community, but in the transition from the country to the town, magic would be largely abandoned. City-dwellers would have, nevertheless, remembered and taken these rituals with them to the city.

'The Watch' BBC America: A vivid spin on Terry Prachett books


Fantasy and science fiction are perfect vehicles for humor, and better with it than without. Given that all imaginative fiction is imagined by humans from Earth any that you will get to read or watch, anyway it is always really about the world we live in. Ironic distance and satire come with the territory.
Not all works of sci-fi and fantasy follow this path, of course; some writers, and some audiences, are inclined to take things dead seriously, and while this can be fine “The War of the Worlds” is not a laugh riot it can also lead to suffocating self-importance and a lack of fun. This is why the best contemporary “Star Wars” for my money is “Lego Star Wars,” and not the live-action franchise spending heaps of money to tell remarkably similar, not especially moving stories of Empire vs. Rebels/Republic and of parents and offspring (and offspring’s offspring) looking at one another from opposite sides of the Force.

Existing elements of pagan midwinter rites fused with the developing theology of Christmas in an appeal to the senses of both sacred and lay.
As the European winter deepens the course of the sun gets nearer the southern horizon until it seems to stand still for a few days, before slowly rising again to usher in the spring. Ancient peoples were of course aware of this phenomenon and the Romans, from their words for sun and stand still , called it solstitium, source of our word solstice . By the Julian calendar, the system of months and days we still use (first devised in 46 BC on orders from Julius Caesar), the winter solstice was originally dated December 25th. ....

Bay Area Reporter :: Classy classical Christmas: music, dances, plays and choral treats for the holidays


With lockdown restrictions, a gloom has descended on the holiday season with all in person concerts and performances canceled. But despite a make or break year for most arts groups, many Bay Area classical music and dance stalwarts have ingeniously risen to the occasion and are offering holiday entertainment virtually that also function as fundraisers.
All the events listed below are available for streaming through the end of this month. Some charge admission prices while others are free and/or request a donation. During this critical period, these cultural institutions need audience backing. If at all possible support them financially so they can return in full force, hopefully by Fall 2021. ....
