| About the Set.
This set is inspired by the Minotaur of Greek Legend.
Second Day of the Seventh Cycle
Listir took me with him to a grand festival held here in the city of Alovandre. I can not help but wonder if other cities upon Ecotana also observe this celebration. Listir speaks of the dream bulls as if it were some religious ceremony. I could not participate only observe since I'm not an ordained member of this group.
Marsolette, one of the high priestesses at the temple of the dream bulls, shared a poem with me about the rites involved at the festival. I think her words best describe the event.
Dream Bulls
From the River they gather fin and song
Weigh them on the scales of Judgement
To voices chanting as the night falls.
Burnt offerings, a praising smoke
Ascending prayers
Before the garland ladened Bulls
Winding to the center, to the dark places
Where we fear to tread, where shadows live and memories hide.
Labyrinth of Rivers, holders of the secrets.
Life and Death are one, gifts to the strong.
So go....journey to the center
Cloak yourselves with the stars
And cross the dark waters in four directions,
Run the bulls ahead to the pounding drums
To mark the heart's path.
And it is by and by that we remember ourselves in this life,
Awakening from dream bulls.
from....The Ecotana Diaries, by Daenacia, the name she took upon Ecotana during the ancient times.
