01 Kick-off: Candles Tarot Joysticks

Pad: Intro to the SI20

Had a brief intro session where we talked about our relationship to (vide) games and rituals. Shared a few memories around those two things. I remembered some of the rituals performed in Bulgaria (it is common in Greece too).

One is called Nestinarstvo, traditional barefoot fire-walking ritual:Visual documentatrion

And the other I recalled is Kukeri, elaborately costumed men (masks, clothes, bells, etc.), who perform traditional rituals intended to scare away evil spirits. Visual documentation
