Carolyn Emerick talks pagan folk culture and ethnonationalism with Tara’s alt-right panel
It is to be appreciated - a good take-away in contrast to their standard fare - that Emerick uses the word “liberal” to describe our antagonists. Comments:2
Posted by mancinblack on Thu, 18 Jan 2018 13:15 | # It would be more profitable to read an English translation of Lorca’s play “Yerma” of which Robert Lima has written.. “Yerma is a distinct struggle between two diametrically opposed aspects of European life in general and Spanish life in particular - the veneer of the Christian ethos and the substratum of Pagan tradition. Lorca’s protagonist is victimized by the social and religious codes of a Christian milieu, codes which frustrate human drives and are, therefore, contranatura in the eyes of the playwright. In sharp contrast is the naturalness of those who follow the old pagan ways, especially in instinctual and sexual matters ; theirs is a holistic state, a wellness of body and spirit, as Lorca sees it, for they have attained a state of integration in which the Apollonian and the Dionysiac are in harmony. Out of this cohesiveness comes the fullness of human potential.” (Towards the Dionysiac : Pagan Elements and Rites in Yerma, Robert Lima) Irish author Ian Gibson has suggested that the challenge to the institution of Catholicism presented by the themes in “Yerma” was the most significant factor in the murder of Lorca in 1936. “What a terrible loss not to be able to feel the teachings of the ancients”.

Carolyn Emerick was asked a question about Spanish folklore and fairy tales that she couldn’t answer because it’s an area she hasn’t researched. Of course they exist but most have a heavy coating of Catholicism. There is one, however, that you really must read. It’s called “The Black Slave”. I mean, what the fuck???
