Using the work of Bruno Latour, this book reimagines ayahuasca as liquid divinity, asking fundamental ontological questions that shift the focus from ayahuasca experiences to ayahuasca-based ritual practices that aim at cultivating relationships with more-than-human powers, described by Latour as "beings of transformation and religion."
Telling the Beads
Telling the Beads: A Spiritual Year Book for Our Times merges devotional poetry (to, if anyone, Anglo-Saxon goddesses mainly) tied to the Anglo-Saxon calendar with avant-garde poetic practice. Or, another way, is a version of Brecht's Hauspostille rewritten by a dogmatically polytheist agnostic amateur antiquarian. Yes, all sorts of things are here, from Tolkien filtered through Tove Jansson's art to the cafes of Bishops Stortford, via an attempt to recover the vanished hero Unwin the Un-Friend. Bits are prose too. And there are illustrations - many splendid early-Nineteenth century engravings.
