Restoring the Wisdom of Myth to Culture & Community
ritual consciousness
Felicitas D. Goodman (1914–2005) was a Hungarian-born linguist and anthropologist. She was a highly regarded expert in linguistics and anthropology and researched and explored ritual body postures for many years. She studied the phenomenon of "speaking in tongues" in Pentecostal congregations in Mexico. She is the author of such well-received books as Speaking in Tongues and Where the Spirits Ride the Wind: Trance Journeys and Other Ecstatic Experiences. Her work has been published mostly in the United States and Germany.

Belinda Gore, Goodman's long time friend and colleague and now president of the Cuyamungue Institute has a new book out as well called:The Ecstatic Experience - Healing Postures for Spirit Journeys.
Also check out Steven and Whitney Boe's new film - Mythic Journeys - www.MythMovie.net - a strong statement for the evolutionary imperative of awakening metaphorical consciousness and mythic awareness, both of which are enhanced by the embodied experience of Ecstatic Postures.

- What fun to discover my mentor for Postures in this video I've never seen. To learn more about Felicitas' discoveries, check out the group here at MythSingers called Ecstatic Wisdom Postures and also my own website:http://www.deborahmilton.com. I have a wonderful video, too, of a masked trance dance and interview with Felicitas that we might be able to link up here somehow. I am so glad you found this, Daniel. Let's talk soon.

Comment by Philip Bennett on November 20, 2009 at 5:17pm - An interesting video. Ritual seems so important as an invitation for the otherness of nature and divinity to come into the human world. Authentic ritual seems to have an unknown and unpredictable outcome, perhaps because of this invitation.
