YES! We have prologue pages!

And you'll find them starting here. Most of the day was spent reviewing fonts to use on these pages. Had to look good and had to be royalty free! I also learnt heaps about importing stuff into Illustrator. Better to link to an external bitmap than just place one, because when you resize the image it can retain the original detail. The next few pages should run a lot smoother.

Am seeing my supervisor tomorrow. I hope the lack of pages will not go bad for me, but the ones I have are RIGHT.

THis morning...

...I'm not doing much. I've had a week of being up after midnight, working on things (sometimes up until 4am). Just going to do the minimum today, and will seek an early night tonight.

Canna Intrat today

Canna intrat (15 March) is the first of a series of celebrations held in Roman times related to Cybele and Attis, representing a cycle of death and rebirth.

The brotherhood of cannophori went into procession through the streets, carrying reeds cut from the banks of the Almo. This was the beginning of nine days of penitence when people abstained from bread, pomegranates, quinces, pork, and fish. Milk was mainly drunk instead.

In Western Society something of this fasting still survives in Christian prohibitions before Easter. In Islam Ramadan involves a month of fasting between sunrise and sunset. Fasting helps set an altered state of being - our attentions and focus become somewhat different for a time.

Likewise, this is the start of a series of contemplations about the rituals surrounding the commemoration of Attis's death and rebirth, and what it might mean to us today.
