The Goddess Artemis had worshipers from all over the ancient Greek world. One of the most famous worshiping sites for Artemis was in Attica at Brauron. Artemis is said to have presided over all the biological transitions of females from before puberty to the first childbirth. “Young girls began to prepare for the event of the first childbirth at an early age. Even before menarche young girls danced for Artemis, in some places playing the role of animals. At the Attica site, or Brauron, in the rite called arkteia, girls representing the polis of Athens imitated she-bears, arktoi." “The initiation ritual for girls was called the Brauronia, after the location of Artemis' shrine at Brauron, in Attica, where the ritual, performed by girls before they reached puberty, took place.”
I composed this piece of Musiq for two specific 'friends' of mine that spend much of their time at the aid of the Animal Kingdom and specifically with the wolves.
Included in the recording are nature sounds and of course wolf howls. The idea was to atone the mind's ear to the natural ordering of the universe. The composition unfolds calmly yet firmly, just as do the Fibonacci Sequence, Golden Mean, and Phi. As one of my 'friends' commented, it is a very elegant composition, thank you.
