ISSUE 9: “January Song”
*
January hugs the transition of the end and beginning of the year, once represented in ancient Rome by Janus, the double-faced god of transition. This issue explores devotional song from three different perspectives, all pertaining to this Januarian passage in the cycles of life and creativity. To start, I’ve offered some reflections on a painting of mine (The Song of the Fourth Ear), with some insights drawn from the sonic theology of Kaishmir Shaivism. This is followed by an essay on mystical balladeer Antoinette Sterling (1841-1904) and her sacred quest via unaccompanied song. The issue closes with a Commonplace of quotations revolving around the term “song” from the writings of 16th century German mystic Jacob Boehme.
