SAMHAIN PSI RITUAL
Dark, but not evoL
the veil is lifted...
Bal Masque, de-Masque
For as long as there has been Life under the Sun, the Sun's cycles have directed the course of Life. People have been celebrating the spokes in this wheel of Life ever since...
It's a matter of spacetime: Spring up, Fall down,
to the rhythm of the Hoop.
The Hoop is Round.
The cycle of Life is completed once more during Sundown on this special moment in Time and Space when the Moon has no face and the concentrated Seed of Life turns to the Earth's nutritious, murky, dark womb, to regenerate.
Tranceforming the black earth to bloom in all colours on Belthane.
The ancient Celts started their new year with dark moon on this turning point in time.
They called it SAMHAIN.
Summer's end.
The Aztec's Day of the Dead.
The start of the dark half of the Hoop.
Now mostly known as Halloween after the church baptised it All-Saints, or All Halo's Eve one thousand years ago.
In this dark, moonless night the veil is lifted between this material world, and the Otherworld, allowing spirits, aliens, elves, fairies and other supernatural entities to pass between the worlds and socialize with humans.
This dark beginning seems a moment made for dark psytrance.
At 23:00 we open the Ceremony and begin our Journey...
We Light the Fire and Stir the Soup of Plenty in this Cosmic Cauldron of Tranceformation.
As above, so below.
Materia Prima, Unio Chymica.
Materia Prima, Unio Mystica.
Connecting to the pulsating rhythmic vibrations until All Elements are joined to form a New Order under the Sun.
Then we let it simmer till Sundown.
We welcome you to come stare into the Fire and share some Psychai (inside the tipi brought by Mixsikh of the Golden Temple, who made some pumpkinsoup in the Cauldron offered by Psy Froggy, cooked on wood from the winter woodstock from the Other side of the River, offered by our neighbour, who's late husband sawed it, transported to the Funny Farm by Arie the farmer).
Bring your instrument, sing, clap, hum or hiss, and join the Fun of Freax Excorporated!!!
With special guests:
- Vilbjørg of Anti Delusion Mechanism is planning an acoustic act with dance, vocals, masks and some special tuned bell-pipes...
- Luc Sala will make a special audio visual presentation in the tipi.

For an ever surprising mix of spoken word & other sounds to set the mood for invocation, evocation and tranceformation...
