ETHICAL ADAPTATION OF ANCIENT PERFORMATIVE PRACTICES: STRIPPERS AND BELLY DANCERS

Introduction


a handful of individuals wishing to remain anonymous asked if we could find a way to adopt and adapt strippers and belly dancers as part of the Druish philosophy and culture, recognizes that human artistic expression—including dance, sensual movement, and embodied performance—since such things have existed throughout human history as a means of celebration, storytelling, spirituality, and social bonding.


I can certainly understand the reasoning aside from the more obvious enjoyment of seeing attractive women who also enjoy such attention and also enjoy the performance. I can also understand it from the perspective of such things existing across many ancient cultures, where various forms of dance was intertwined with spirituality, ritual, fertility symbolism, and communal gatherings, but also which is often underappreciated, exercise and health.


Modern professions such as stripping and belly dancing can be viewed, in certain contexts, as contemporary expressions of these ancient performative traditions. It's also…

Theme Music for Mr. Skulls. The Chronicles of a Character

MR. SKULLS; AVATAR OF THE FOUNDER OF DRUWAYU
MR. SKULLS; AVATAR OF THE FOUNDER OF DRUWAYU
Resurrection of the Warlock

There are a few songs like this composed for the character and the various related themes. You are welcome to also try creating some music like we did here. This second one has Three different variations.


These songs are expressive of a mythology in some Old Gamer Scenes, both online and off, that developed around the character TalismanSkulls, no spaces between the words on purpose, that some came to call tali for short or simply Mr. Skulls. The top hat with the horns and skull design has been a feature of the character since his development as early as 2006 and got more fleshed out (no pun intended) for 20 years, and seemed to add even more height to a character already described as being 6'5 and 280 Lbs.


To understand the framing, the following is provided for greater clarity.

Creating a Basic Personal Shrine

HONORING THE ONE AND THREE
HONORING THE ONE AND THREE

A home shrine, specifically one centered around the arrangement of these four candles, serves as a focal point for the mind and a physical anchor for spiritual intention. It creates a dedicated boundary between the chaotic energy of daily life and a state of internal stillness. It is not required but some see it as a useful tool of their own focus. Therefore it is optional; not required.


There is also no specific "layout" for everything, as the only main part is the One Large candle and three three smaller ones. The smaller ones can be spherical if one wishes as well so the central candle remains the cylindrical one.


In this specific configuration, the shrine operates through several key layers of meditation:


1. The Geometry of the One and Three


  • The One God: The central candle represents the One God.
