  Gold Orphic Prayer Sheet

  Greece, c.350-300 BC

  Found folded in with the ashes of the deceased in a bronze cinerary urn, thislamella or gold sheet with its engraved inscription provides instructions about the path to be followed in the underworld in order to ensure salvation. Gold lamellae are quite rare. This example, said to have been found in Thessaly in northern Greece, gives a condensed version of the standard text. The dead soul is thirsty. It is guided to the proper spring. The soul is asked about its origin and replies with the formula of salvation, stressing its half-terrestrial, half-celestial origin. Beginning in the 500s B.C., various religions sprang up in Greece of a type called mystery religions. These new cults often promised people a hope of a better afterlife, which in traditional Greek religion was quite grim. Linked with the beliefs of Orphism, this lamella provided the key for the deceased to reclaim the tiny divine spark that existed in mortals and to pass a happy afterlife among the heroes.

  Seeds of Change / Gitta Gschwendtner + Maria Thereza Alves

    Behind an exhaustive investigation of the ancient routes of navigation, Alves discovered that sailors used to fill ships’ ballast mixed up with soil, stones and seeds of all those places where they were to have a piece of earth during their journey. Once in Bristol this ships’ ballast was offloaded into the river and all this exotic seeds germinated into plants. Alves and Gschwendtner made a floating garden in a derelict barge and they planted all these seeds that onece could be thrown into the river.  

    A través de una exhaustiva investigación sobre las antiguas rutas de navegación, Alves descubrió que los marineros llenaban los barcos de un lastre compuesto de tierra, piedras y semillas de todos aquellos lugares que habían estado para tener un pedazo de tierra firme en sus travesías. Al llegar a Bristol este lastre era lanzado por la borda al lecho del río y estas exóticas semillas germinaban. Inspirada por esta idea, Alves y Gschwendtner realizaron un jardín flotante en una barcaza de grano en desuso lleno de plantas de aquellas semillas que pudieron ser lanzadas al río.

  Tahini, Lemon & Garlic Salad Dressing

  I am always looking for new dressing recipes, especially that have tahini in them. It’s a wonderful way to have a creamy dressing without dairy. I would go the soaked raw cashew route, but we still need to get our hands on a high-speed blender. 

  This over a kale, roasted sweet potato & cauliflower salad would be pretty amazing.
