On the left is a person in a grey-green hood and robe, standing at a large wooden structure like a pulpit. On the person's shoulder is a thin, dark, winged, demonic creature with horns. In front of them, facing this person, seated on a long wooden bench, are three men in blue, red, and pink clothes respectively, and red and blue hats. Behind them are seated three women in hooded robes, one in green, the others in blue. And behind them is a man in grey-green, knee-length robes with a matching hat, a thin staff in his right hand, a dark-coloured hog caught by the rear leg in his left hand. In the background, above a plain wall, we see blue sky with long, thin wisps of cloud.
“The world indeed is sacred; but paradoxically, one cannot see the sacredness of the world until one discovers that it is a divine play.”
~ Mircea Eliade.

Contar y no contar. Podría contar que he comido judías verdes y mandarinas, pero parece más interesante contar que estoy leyendo a Mircea Eliade mientras escucho a Sabaton. Elegir qué contamos y cómo también dice algo. Estudiar me pone siempre en modo "mira pa dentro, Mari".

I'm finding it bloody hard to write anything these days, & an in arrears on multiple projects, so I'm glad at least to share my latest published review in #TheChristianCentury of a book by #BruceLincoln on #Eliade, #ReligiousStudies, & (shudder) #Fascism. www.christiancentury.org/books/true-c...
