The last Wave of the Scriptorium Fundraiser opens today.
In celebration of Stephen Jenkinson’s forthcoming book
Matrimony: Ritual, Culture, and the Heart’s Work,
we are including a few venerable Indigo items in the fundraiser and this excerpt:
“…etiquette, style, grace, and wizardry were the media and currencies of trade, and of a well-wrought life. To have traded in style with stylish traders would have marked you as noble. To have done so in the name of matrimony, for the sake of your people’s health and standing, would have marked you as a true heir of your Old Ones…
the flux and the fix of spirit alchemy between deep-living peoples …(is at the) heart (of) what matrimony is…
The spirit of trade is in the choreography and mechanics of matrimony. Its tenacity is there in the details, where all the Gods live.”
