"Myth it seems came first and the priests of the ancients projected these myths out to the sky and ordered the sky in accordance with stories to which the myths themselves related. Once you perceive that in fact this was the case, it becomes apparent that all the religions of antiquity as well as of the present day have this astronomical structure to them. The Cosmos is a grand symbol of the things that the religious stories actually represent, and actually try to tell us. Therefore, we can say that the Sabaean truths are veiled in the myriad physical symbols around us."

Right now I'm rewarding myself for the Volta tour by enjoying Robert Zoller's course in Medieval Astrology, from which the above quotation is to be found. At the same time I'm listening to the glorious countertenor, Andreas Scholl.

I love it!

I'm really happy about yesterday's concert. For me personally it was the right closure, a much happier end to the Volta tour than a mere show like any other on a festival in a foreign country.

Björk's father wrote some lovely words about it, for those of you who speak Icelandic, go to his site.
