I had an enjoyable time going through your blog. That piece of ‘midrash’ —seems very unlikely. There are no mentions of pigs or monkeys in the torah, so that seems a bit suspect to me, and we leave Satan back in Eden, but i enjoyed it!
I would love to know some more about you and want to know about the fight between York and Grahm at the bioD conference in SF. Would you mind? –Alice
I found your post on Judaism, Dionysus and milk while searching on the same topic. Here are some other things you might find interesting (if you haven’t encountered them already):
Ploughing the clouds: the search for Irish Soma: examines milk as a common occurence in the Vedic and Dionysian rites.
Gods of Love and Ecstacy: the traditions of Shiva: Connects ecstatic traditions from India and Greece
Hey – was just doing some research (at my desk in the rainforest in New Zealalnd) for my biodynamics paper and came across your kooky write-up. This organics stuff cost me a 10 year relationship, too – I’m not crying tho ‘ been singing to my plants and they love it!
Great to see some true grit happening over there fella! I once hung out rollin barrels and nibbling Habaneros in some caves in your parts. Heavenly.
Is there still the star trek bar in Agua Calliente?
Cheers

Kumiss, a primitive wine made from sugar fermented milk, may be a clue to this-(“the land of milk and honey” indeed)
fascinating stuff!
