高橋御山人の書籍発行記念、特別対談。今回出版した「鬼女紅葉伝説紀行鬼無里編」は、現代の魔女・谷崎榴美（るみ）氏の依頼が発端となった。ここでいう「魔女」とは、古代ヨーロッパ信仰のシャーマン（巫女）であり、キリスト教の普及により追いやられ、零落した存在である。それを復興しようという運動が「ウィッカ」「魔女宗」であり、谷崎氏はその日本における実践家として、西洋のみならず、日本のシャーマニズム的儀式の復興に取り組んでいる。その谷崎氏との対話の中で、高橋御山人が長年研究して来た信州・鬼無里の「鬼女紅葉」は、平安時代の「魔女」だという知見を得た。「鬼女紅葉」は、呪術に長け、鬼として討伐されたと伝えられるが、卑弥呼のごとき日本古来のシャーマニズムの継承者だったとされる（詳細は本シリーズ其之拾を参照）。今回出版した書籍は、「平安の魔女＝鬼女紅葉」の、鬼無里における伝承地を紹介し、また谷崎氏の目指す「古儀の復興」の一環として、「鬼女紅葉」に捧げる祝詞をも作成、その口語訳、解説とともに掲載した。対談では、神道における祝詞の解説と、祓詞の奏上も行っている。なお、書籍は谷崎氏の経営する大阪の「銀孔雀」と、鬼無里の十割そば処「おに屋」で販売。

世界的な観光地・日光の一角を成す戦場ヶ原。標高約1400mの高原に広がるこの湿原は、名前の通り古戦場であるが、その戦いは人と人との戦いではなく、神々の戦いである。伝説によれば、この近くの中禅寺湖を巡って、日光男体山の神が大蛇に、赤城山の神が大ムカデに化けて戦ったが、自らの子孫である弓の名手・小野猿丸の加勢により、男体山の神が勝ったという。男体山を神体山とするのは二荒山神社で、山頂に奥宮、中禅寺湖畔に中宮祠、東照宮に隣接して本社が建っている。一方、県境を越えた群馬県の赤城山には赤城神社があり、山頂のカルデラ湖・大沼湖畔と、南麓の三夜沢に鎮座する。また北麓の老神温泉は、戦場ヶ原で敗れた赤城山の神が、湯で傷を癒し、男体山の神を追い払ったため、「追神」と呼んだという地名由来がある。ただし、当地の伝説によれば、赤城山の神が大蛇に、男体山の神が大ムカデに化けたとされる。そもそも赤城山では大蛇信仰が強く、赤城神社の祭神は、古代、赤城山の龍神に助けられ、その後を継いだ豪族の娘・赤城姫ともされる。一方、三夜沢の赤城神社には、藤原秀郷が植えたという「俵杉」があるが、秀郷には琵琶湖・竹生島の龍神の依頼で、三上山の大ムカデを退治したという伝説がある。北関東の「ラグナロク（北欧神話における神々の最終戦争）」の謎に迫る。

In Other Words is a revelation. It is at heart a love story of a long and sometimes difficult courtship, and a passion that verges on obsession: that of a writer for another language. For Jhumpa Lahiri, that love was for Italian, which first captivated and capsized her during a trip to Florence after college. Seeking full immersion, she decided to move to Rome with her family, for 'a trial by fire, a sort of baptism' into a new language and world. There, she began to read and to write – initially in her journal – solely in Italian.
