島根の県庁所在地・松江市北部、島根半島の中程に、出雲国二宮・佐太神社が鎮座する。全国の神々が出雲に集う旧暦十月「神無月」も、出雲では「神在月」となり、出雲大社では「神在祭」が行われるが、ここ佐太神社にも、神々が集うと言われ、「神在祭」が行われる。佐太神社に神々が集う理由は、奥の山に神々の母・イザナミノミコトが葬られており、「法事」を行うためだという。その先触れを告げるのが、毎年秋になると海流に乗って出雲へやって来る海蛇「龍蛇様」だ。蛇は、世界中の伝承で、永遠の生命の象徴とされる。それは、男性器に似た形状に由来するという。男性器は子孫を生み出すものであり、それを通じて、過去の祖先と、未来の子孫に繋がっていると。それ故に永遠の象徴だと。その永遠の象徴たる「龍蛇様」が、あの世から祖先神を連れてきて、子孫の神々と再会する。それが毎年繰り返される。この繰り返しによって、永遠の時が紡がれる。それが神在祭なのだという。これは「死と再生」という、世界中の多くの宗教が中心に据えたテーマである。神々の国・出雲で、その真髄を見る。語り:高橋御山人 聞き役:盛池雄峰

平成25年に式年遷宮が行われた、伊勢の神宮。それが内宮・外宮より成ることは一般にも知られているが、その他に多くの別宮・摂末所管社があり、全て合わせると125社となる。由来は様々だが、その多くは、神宮創祀の際、地元の神が従って、神宮に土地の譲渡や貢納を約束する話となっている。その別宮の一つ伊雑宮が、志摩市に鎮座する。この伊雑宮は、伊勢から離れたリアス式海岸に近いという地理的条件もあって、別宮の一つでありながら、独立的傾向が強かった。明治の神仏分離を経てもなお、北極星の信仰に関わる祭祀が続けられ、江戸時代には、伊雑宮こそが神宮の発祥、中心であるという偽書の発行に関わり、幕府より弾圧を受けるという「まつろわぬ」歴史もある。そもそも伊勢とは、神話の時代に遡れば「まつろわぬ」土地だった。また、中世においても「まつろわぬ」ものの噴出する土地であった。朝廷、国家の宗教的中心地に、なぜ「まつろわぬ」要素があるのか。事象の「裏側」から見た、伊勢というものの深層を掘り下げる。語り:高橋御山人 聞き役:盛池雄峰

岡山市の吉備津神社は、備中一宮。祭神の吉備津彦命は、大和朝廷の黎明期、全国平定の為に派遣された「四道将軍」の一人だが、当地では「温羅（うら）」という鬼を退治したと伝わり、昔話「桃太郎」のモデルとされる。境内には、拝殿や本殿とは別に「御釜殿」という建物があり、その鳴り具合により吉凶を占っている。斬られても唸り続ける温羅の首を鎮める為、温羅の妻・阿曽媛（あぞひめ）に、その上で神饌を炊かせたのが起源とされ、阿曽媛の出身地・阿曽郷から選ばれた「阿曽女（あぞめ）」が、今に至るまで仕えている。阿曽郷は、古くから製鉄を生業とした地であり、温羅の居城とされる鬼ノ城（きのじょう）の麓でもあるのだが、その鬼ノ城は、「朝鮮式山城」と呼ばれる、古代に築かれた城跡だ。その他数多くの伝承地があるが、それは同時に古代遺跡であることも多い。そもそも、一帯には数多くの古墳が存在し「吉備路」と呼ばれる観光地となっている。温羅伝説とは、古代、製鉄で栄えた「吉備王国」が朝廷に討伐されたことを伝えるものらしい。その伝承の中心地・吉備津神社は、盛池雄峰、高橋御山人両名の「人生の分岐点」でもあった。「まつろわぬ」鬼と鉄と巫女とが「運命」を教え導く神社の思い出を語り合う。

Goethe was probably the greatest universal genius who ever lived.

But his travel diary, Italian Journey, is by far easier to digest than anything else by him.

Muy pocas veces alguien se atrevió a recomendar tan fervientemente una novela. "Merece vender más ejemplares que la Biblia", afirmó Rebel Inc., una insolente revista literaria escocesa.
