Historicization
Christmas disappoints because it fails to renew the world at the resurrection of the new year. All Hallows smacks of stale sugar highs, because it fails to truly celebrate the dead ringing at our doors.

Actual war indicates a failure in conducting the proper annual mythico-rituals, which should dissolve into a temporary chaos at the new year, when taboos are hiatused, in order to replicate the primordial pre-beginnings, and then reinstate order for another year. Without this calendrically and ritually-contained chaos – festival time, we have a real war: as a stand – in for festival.
Where and when was the major meteorite hit in Eurasia?

Regarding the ghost dance, mystical movement in the late 1800s: 4 to 5 days continuous dance to bring back a flood of the dead, and to end and remake the world.

What is it, exactly, that the early monotheistics (babylonians, Hebrews, Egyptians, etc.) were guilty of? Was it monotheizing itself, or something else? “Historicizing”, as Eliade asserts?

Terror of deindividualization led to the practice of burial. Reincarnation and the rat race toward enlightenment and all beliefs in atomized individua must only be a degenerate form of the indigenous knowing that place is ancestry moreso than biological lineage. Place is where people compost again into earthstuff.
