Hello All, Read the recent posts on Kate and Wicca etc. Those interested might care to read my ongoing series in HOMEGROUND (Advert!) "Them Heavy People" about a load of stuff on similar themes. Basically it takes off from Lily's spoken dedication, a quotation from Vedic scripture used virtually verbatim in the Charge of the Goddess, the basic document of modern paganism. There are many and various stories about Kate being "initiated into Wicca". I regard most of them with a truckload of salt. It is clear Kate has explored many religious, spiritual, and philosophical fields. It runs in the family. No doubt her own ideas are an amalgum of things she found helpful and useful in these many fields. The Gurdjieff/Sufi ideas and images in her early work were probably inherited from family discussions originated by John Carder Bush, a poet, author, and seeker himself. In any person born and brought up in a Roman Catholic family some traces of that religion must remain. She had friends in the Krishna movement. I have thought to have seen in Kate's work images suggested by Golden Dawn type ritual practice, of which "Lily" is the most recent and obvious. At the end of it, Kate's ideas are probably most ideosyncratically her own. Regarding Reading etc, I've just seen Karen's query regarding the type of studio to be put in there (that digest arrived late). Allwe know at the moment is that it is a sound recording studio. Continuing the personal thread, about which I expect someone is going to tell me off shortly, Krys and I had a small ritual of our own today to part from our unrealised child, and to enable us to move on.
