The book title mentioned in the post below, "A Meditation of Fire" reminds
me of a haunting dream I had a few years ago: (slightly clay-related )
The time frame seemed like centuries ago, people wearing long robes, etc and
there were crowds milling around- a huge celebration going on. There was an
altar or pedestal with a huge bull standing on it. Somehow there were
enormous fires in the background. I became aware that the ritual was called
"Python" and thought to myself, "oh yes, that means "Festival of Fire".
I don't know Greek or Latin, but am aware that "Pyre" has to do with fire,
and the suffix "thon" is applied to events, so it made perfect "dream-sense"
To the point-sounds like a holiday for potters! How the bull ties in though,
I'm not sure. We do sometimes charge right in and try untested glaze
combinations on a good bisqued pot- well, some of us do.
