wow. can't believe i actually did this. I blame it on my obssessive-compulsive ritualisticnature when it comes to music (which I talk about at length here ), because once i started i couldn't stop. as early as March I was already asking Jason and Marie "what's your favorite album of the decade?" and midway through the year I was asking Diego for stuff he felt I missed out on (like Wilco). it ...
Icon says it all, really. The original idea was that she was off on her own somewhere, doing some secretive shamanistic thing, so she painted all sorts of ritualistic designs on herself in a blood/ochre paste... but then I couldn't decide whether I liked it better with or without the paint, since the paint wasn't very taureney... so here's an alternate version sans paint . Thank god for ...
... Matchy without their involvement. The offer sounds almost too good to Yoko and all through Shoko's pitch, he's waiting for the other shoe to drop. Like news that show's grand finaleinvolves the mass ritualisticslaughter of goats or that they're going to light the rink on fire when they leave. But it never comes, the most troublesome of Shoko's demands that it be a twenty-and-up function and ...
... in a hurry. "And let me tell you, those virgins were very grateful for the rescue. Very grateful, if you catch my meaning." Oh, John was afraid he did. "Gender change? Body swapping?" "Ritualisticpiercing? Bukkake fest?" Turning red under the scrutiny -- and dear god, but where had Teal'c even learned that word? -- John finally mumbled, "A gentleman doesn't kiss and tell," and hastily ...
...maybe I should have looked closer to home. The Sultan of Yogyakarta--just a couple hundred miles to the east--still reigns under a mystical concept that's basically just the divine right to rule, and this concept has more than purely ritualisticimplications since the Sultan is still traditionally regarded as the only valid candidate and incumbent for the post of the provincialgovernor of Yogya!
our hula huleeoop and the road with only one direction! not so grand not so grand, being born alive and waking up dead. the mouth with one shoelace, the tart without purpose, your favorite cave with balloons from your grandmother's wedding sewn up the sides, connecting the dots and any lights in the sky. the long walk home with your very best friend who you tell everyone you haven't seen in ...
...and this is indeed a matter of definition -- may be found, they are often related to modes of activities that accompany the modes of cognition. It is the relegation of those technical, ritualistic, linguistic modes of activities to the margin, which created the unbalance between the theological and the symbolic on the one hand, and the ergetic [theurgic?] or performative aspects of Kabbalah on the...
...Sam took great gulps of air, tears pouring down his cheeks as his body throbbed with pain beginning with the wounds adorning his chest. His lips were bloody from where his teeth had bitten into them. Ritualistic sigils were carved into his skin making an intricate pattern from his sternum to belly button. His eyes were tightly closed, not wanting to see what else the high priest had done with the ...

... how to relax, admittedly he was almost eighteen before he found his outlet and then it was unintentional. He'd been working on a thesis proposal for his sociology doctorate studying subcultures and their ritualistic behaviors. Research and curiosity had led him here, well not "here" but to this environment, this counter culture. At first he'd been horrified; he thought he'd prepared himself with ...
