About the Tradition of Skirt Lifting according to the artist:
"Also known as Anasyrma or plural: Anasyrmata; women have been lifting their skirts for centuries to ward off evil & enhance fertility. This symbolic act is also found in mythologies of various cultures all over the world, & specifically in those of ancient Egypt, Greece, Persia, Ireland, Africa, Indonesia & Japan.

It is said that the evil-averting gesture of women individually or collectively exposing their genitalia have the power to shame & defeat an advancing army.The act of revealing publicly the hidden core of womanhood initiates a process of change that operates on a world scale, as well as on an individual level.

“At some point in human history, female genitalia were considered potent enough to be used as the catalyst for bringing the earth and all life back from the brink of destruction”.

It is said that when Persephone was kidnapped into the underworld by Hades, her mother Demetra went into such mourning that life on earth began to wilt & die. It wasn’t until Baubo lifted her skirt & shocked her into laughter that vitality & fertility on earth was restored…Laughter being a key element in healing & resurrecting life."

The trippiest dude I have ever met while walking on Malkuth.

He held up a mirror and said to me 'I am a reflection of you' as I walked passed him. I glanced at him, thought That is a nice piece of performance art, actually. I continued to walk for five seconds or so until I really felt inspired to go explore that utterance of his some more. Next thing I knew... I was engaged in a highly synchronistic, intense and magical two and a half hour conversation where I did not notice the skies had gone dark by the time it ended.

Over all, this event was definitely worth getting up from my reading chair on a Saturday to attend.
