In Part 1 (on profile) artist-author Orryelle introduced The Tela Quadrivium or four-fold bookweb he is creating. In this second installment, a different female dancer performs a dance for each of the alchemical colour phases related to the four books. This is live footage from the Australian launch of the first book, 'CONJUNCTIO' (from Fulgur Limited), the Red Book.
After the Black/Nigredo, White/Calcinato and Red/Rubea phases are explored, the Gold from the Conjunctions thereof is sought. The eye of vision (hatched from the serpent-twined egg) is united with the hand of action. ZosKia IO!

In Saqqara Nov '07 we performed a group ritual in a semi-collapsed pyramid at night to find our Words of Power as a part of the Global Vissudha Chakra Working. Returning there in daylight a few days later I discovered it was the pyramid of Sahure. Hu is the God of the Magic Word; he and his brother Sa were born from the blood of Re/Ra when he cut his phallus.
I wrote the verse which is orated here in front of the pyramid, which can be found with the full story at www.crossroads.wild.net.au/vissudha3.htm

In the preceding scene of the Ritual Dance Theatre 'Loom of Lila' this was extracted from, 11 dancers slowly converged to form a great face (inspired by an image of Dali's) with their bodies. As its components do the Sufi drum-breath, this face of Kalikaye Kurukulle ('Mother of the Heartbeat clan') pokes out Her tongue and the dancers disperse into individuated chaos. Unity in diversity is thus dramatically expressed.
