Description:

How to use this collection:

There are many ways…here are a few….

1. Random Access: Perhaps the best way! Simply open the card deck to an entry. Read then tell.

2. Sorted–  Sort the cards for whatever purpose suits. You

    will then have a topical presentation.

3. Cultural Interaction– Have each person in a group select a story.  Have each person read  

    through their card and exchange it with their neighbor without reading, just telling it as

    they remember it. You can also send cards with invitations. There are many type sizes and  

     lengths. Some are simply short images for the imagination. Something for everyone.

4. In Class. Follow along as the entry is told. Capture the outline scheme then read once

    again for the details. Finally tell the entry without reference to the card. Don’t memorize! Tell!

Just Remember- The card entry becomes part of you- YOUR story! Just use the card to get started!

 Be Sure to share them as often as you can!!!    To Order

Orientation: 


When I teach or organize an event I always come with my black file box of cards .  I take a moment in each class to pass them out to my students. Each student gets a card and reads the short line or short entry from it.  Then the students are instructed to pair up with one another selecting someone in the class that they do not know. Then, each tells the  or reads the card to the other. In this way after each class period each student has two new entries. After exchanging them I ask students to select the strangest of the lot. Undoubtedly this process focuses upon elements of Traditional culture. One might also find this technique useful at family gatherings and party’s. It is an effective way to infuse the traditional into the contemporary and to avoid the arguments which come up at family events when there is a cultural void. 

The cards are punched and bound with 2 book rings that open allowing the cards to be re-arranged.

Take a moment to raise up these entries from the printed page and place them back into the living culture where they might take on new life. I have included both the very short and the moderate length entries.  This gives the reader a choice. Some do not do as well reading the longer as the shorter. Additionally, I have tried to provide a variety of styles. This “stew” aids in identifying aesthetic which runs through the  tradition as a constant through time.

For decades I have worked to transmit complex multi-dimensional celebrations-those made up from many artifacts of celebration (song,food,procession,theater,effigy,literature...).

Although the fun of celebration is easy to convey it is a real challenge to move beyond the "party" aspect.  For me celebration is so much more than that.  So I compiled information and created large books.  While this is a starting point one can hardly expect the potential celebrant to read a 400 page book and then if they do they are likely to read at a low level of comprehension-entertainment again.

How does one pass the mystery and deep wonder past the entertainment/brain barrier so that the celebration is more meaningfully/permanently conveyed-transmitted so that it will be practiced incorporated into the seasonal round?

I turned to active learning/reading.  If the potential celebrant encounters the material artifacts then efficiently knows how they are created-their form---then they can understand how they formally work together-function then they will be able to construct a final meaningful relationship.

The celebration can then transcend entertainment to become something on has to do.  The celebrant will comprehend the value of the disclosure of the  dark folkloric landscape that the celebration accomplishes at a higher level. The celebration can be transmitted-installed, if you will!


The good thing is that the comprehension is cumulative and...they can still have fun.

They can even have fun getting there!

The way I suggest doing this is by disassembling the complex artifacts of celebration  into small parts-such that they fit on 5x8 cards.  I then make the cards available for celebrants-on dinner tables, in informal read meditate and q&a sessions......they read share discuss think meditate and wonder. I generally do this as celebrants gather over drinks and  snacks. They almost visibly change! Now its not just fun but something amazing. The group experiences  the Chinese fortune cookie  effect-lots  of  interaction....


To let others give  this a  try I have created card books bound  with metal  rings that open for re-arrangement/copying etc....
