Notes
A planting dance where-in the footsteps mimic a sheaf of grain.
This dance is one of those that, for the form and the content, may well have its roots in the Neolithic.
In ancient times daily activity, like cooking or sewing or planting, were a part of the keeping of The Sacred Time. The religion ... or perhaps more properly said, the faith ... was not separate from daily life.
