From Stuart… perhaps the most important sentiment of The Lord of the Deep The Silent Eye * The workshops serve as a Celtic Cauldron of Plenty… Everyone gets what they most need. How is this possible? How is it possible that three years on from first tentatively considering the Epic of Gilgamesh as a potential subject for treatment at such an event it can … Read More The Quest for Immortality: Gods…

And now you will want an ending… Like day gives way to night, though there is no single point where we could all agree that it was either… Like the moment of sleep or awakening, though one drifts into the other and each knows little of its twin… Like the point in the play where the character releases the player from his undertaking and … Read More Gilgamesh descending (9) – final part

A lovely ‘after-effect’ of the Gilgamesh workshop, Lord of the Deep, from Sue, who explains the unexpected effect on her son, Nick, who ‘techied” a very complex musical score… The Silent Eye One of the questions people don’t like to ask is whether or not our ritual drama weekends serve any useful purpose. It is all very well coming along to share the fun… … Read More Lord of the Deep: Taking root

The portal through which all the others have passed – except ghostly Enkidu and forlorn Gilgamesh – shimmers and fades. My brother – his twin – fades… And he and I… and then only I am left alone in the middle of the most threatening inner space I can imagine… There is the dominating sense of ‘nowhere else to go’; and yet I know … Read More Gilgamesh descending (8)

From Briony – after attending her first Silent Eye weekend… The Silent Eye Briony, attending her first workshop with the Silent Eye, graciously and gracefully changed roles at the last minute to fill one of the gaps left by illness.

I watch as he runs. I am tired of his slow-witted learning. Act Four is half way through, but already he has exhausted the patience of everyone but his mother…. Where did that come from! One of the features of a central role in these mystery plays is a certain degree of exhaustion. Even if you are familiar with it, the script will have … Read More Gilgamesh descending (7)

Faces… If there is one thing upon which Gilgamesh would wager his life, it is that life is all about faces… His own face now burns with a permanent redness; whether from anger or something deeper, he does not know. But it burns… and gets hotter with every passing encounter with the faces that fight to decry and destroy what he has achieved as … Read More Gilgamesh descending (6)

And now we must move swiftly, as the king’s heartbeat quickens with purpose. Again, he watches the Fate Dancers… and begins to see the depths of what they do. These movements describe a ‘whole’. They are parts of how that unity evolves itself, while carrying its essential nature, unchanged… except for the result of its own process, working on the material of that which … Read More Gilgamesh descending (5)

From Stuart… The Silent Eye * When the people of Uruk rebel against the tyranny of Gilgamesh, they petition the Gods… * Hearing their plea the Goddess, Aruru, fashions the twin of Gilgamesh from the clay of her heart and sets him loose in the wilderness where he lives and runs with wild animals… * Then Aruru sends Gilgamesh a dream. * Although vivid … Read More The Quest for Immortality: Dreams…
