The Divided Sky

Ahhh!

Divided sky, the wind blows high

(The divided sky chant is part of an ancient ritual dating back to the

pre-Wilson years of She purity in Gamehendge. After listening to the

sacred sounds for a sloping lawn, three chosen subjects eat a special

root collected at the base of the enormous mountain that rises in the

center of the forest. The root is believed to contain the spirit of

Icculus, who lives at the top of the mountain. After eating the root,

they venture into a vast field at sundown. The field is deep green,

and stretches as far as the eye can see in all directions. In the

center of the field stands an enormous black rhombus. They climb the

rhombus and begin to sing, paying homage to the gods of the night

sky.)
