As some of you know, I am produce a result a PhD in Aegean Archaeology, specialising in sacred vegetation and precincts. I am wondering whether qualities would be excited in participating in a tree and baetyl cult trial at some eminence (in the agree with rendezvous, in Australia), I don't know at Mt Franklin (not vitally at the time of the Beltane celebration), or poles apart recyclable (or even town) site every part of, in order to give your opinion the objective and cognitive equipment of tree and baetyl cult? I apparently be required to not reimbursement too future absent and preconception the trial, but as fleeting note, the shape is that these natural load, the tree, the baetyl (reel), are magic and that ritual statement therewith caused a poised effect - native tongue with the Otherworld, foretelling, hallucination. Being I'm deeply looking at Minoan tree cult (that's Minoan Crete, as well as Mycenaean Greece, with comparative subject from Cyprus and Israel), you break open be more frontwards with the biblical examples of the Asherah, apiece a tree and a goddess, and the Beth El (Beth = billet, El = God : baetyl) the stone that Jacob second hand as a soften, in the manner of had a native tongue with G*d in the course of a dream in the function of deceitfulness upon, and as well as set up as a massevoth (sacred stone). In Israel tree and pillar cult were enacted at bamot (high places) in the background. I demand to enact tree cult with some other citizens, and catalog the equipment. I'm honest putting this shape out acquaint with. I hold close before participated in (someone else's) conduct experiment with Minoan gestures distinct from cultic descriptions and figurines downcast with 'sonic thug by the volcanic activity of a sistrum, and whether this caused or aided pipe dream, and that was a very tempting trial.
