Prayerformances: Rave Culture as the new manifestation of Ecstatic Trance Rituals

Thanks to Burner Alan for posting a link to this talk on our Facebook page (please support this blog and Like us).

It took me a while to get past the presenter’s bizarre, Sesame Street-style delivery. Once I did, I found the content of his presentation, and his thesis, to be interesting and thought-provoking. Festivals are touching on elements buried deep within the human psyche: fundamental, elemental, spiritual, and communal.
