秋田県にある「秋田三湖」と呼ばれる三つの湖。その全てに龍の伝説が伝わっている。まずは、田沢湖の「辰子姫」。このあたりに住んでいた人間の娘・辰子は、永遠の美を求めて観音菩薩に願を掛け、お告げにより山中の泉の水を飲んだ。しかし喉が渇いて際限なく水を飲み続け、龍の姿に変ってしまった。そこで仕方なく泉を広げて湖とし、そこに住んだ。これが田沢湖だという。湖畔のその泉の近くには、辰子姫を祭る御座石神社が建っている。青森との県境にある十和田湖にも、近くに住んでいたマタギの若者「八郎太郎」が、掟を破って仲間のイワナまで食べてしまい、川の水を飲み続けて龍となり、十和田湖を作って住んだという伝説がある。そこに、熊野で修業を積んだ山伏「南祖坊（なんそのぼう）」が現れる。南祖坊は「草鞋が切れた場所が終の棲家となる」という神託とともに鉄の草鞋を授かり、その切れた場所が十和田湖だった。南祖坊はここで龍に化身して八郎太郎と戦い、勝利する。これが十和田神社に祭られる青龍権現である。敗れた八郎太郎は西へ逃れて湖を作って住む。これが八郎潟であり、湖岸の八郎神社に祭られている。その八郎潟を戦後干拓して作ったのが大潟村で、入植した村民により建てられた大潟神社にも、八郎太郎は祭られている。古の龍伝説を辿り、明日にまで展望を広げた未来志向対談。

日本に限らず、世界中で「宗教」と言えば、性欲を抑制し、遠ざけるものだというのが、 現代社会における通念である。しかし、本当にそうなのだろうか?確かに日本の神社は厳粛、清浄を旨とし、神社に仕える巫女にも、処女性が求められる。 巫女に、古より処女性が求められたのは確かだ。しかし、それは巫女の一面でしかない。 特定の神社に所属せず、諸国を放浪した「歩き巫女」のような巫女もいたのである。 彼女らは祈祷や託宣を行いつつも、旅芸人や遊女を兼ねる事もあった。 なぜ、清浄さを求められる巫女が、遊女をも兼ねたのか。 それは古代の根源的な宗教、信仰が、シャーマンによる神憑りを重視するからだ。 神憑りとは神が己の肉体に入ることであり、セックスと極めて近い性質がある。 さればこそ、シャーマン、巫女は女性であることが多いのだ。 文明発祥地・古代メソポタミアの神殿には「神聖娼婦」がいたという。 洋の東西を問わず、神なるものの根源にはセックスがある。 また、「歩き巫女」がそうであったように、芸能との関連も注目される。 遊女の代名詞である「傀儡」は人形使いの芸能者であるし、 諸国を放浪した歌舞伎の始祖・出雲阿国は、巫女であったとも言うが、 幕府に禁止されるまで、歌舞伎は女性が踊り、ストリップ的要素が強かった。 天の岩戸神話のアメノウズメノミコトの踊りは、ストリップ以外の何物でもない。...

京都府丹後地方、日本三景・天橋立のすぐ北側に、丹後一宮・元伊勢籠神社（このじんじゃ）が建つ。伊勢の神宮・外宮の豊受姫神は、元々ここに鎮座していたとされ、天照大神も、宮中から出て伊勢の内宮に鎮まる前に、ここに数年祀られたという。宮司を代々世襲する海部氏は、神話に遡る非常に古い家柄であり、社宝にして国宝のその家系図は、現存では日本最古のもの。神社に受け継がれた二枚の鏡はそれぞれ前漢・後漢のものであり、出土品ではない伝世鏡としては、これも日本最古。また、元伊勢内宮・外宮と称する神社は、天橋立の南に聳える大江山の山中にも別にあり、「天の岩戸」も存在する。一方、大江山は、酒呑童子伝説で有名な鬼の住む山。しかも、大江山の「鬼」はそれだけではない。大和朝廷黎明期には、土蜘蛛・陸耳御笠（くがみみのみかさ）が丹後じゅうを転戦し大江山に入って消息不明になったといい、聖徳太子の弟・麻呂子皇子（まろこのみこ）が、大江山の悪鬼、英胡（えいこ）・軽足（かるあし）・土熊（つちぐま）を討ったという。伊勢の神宮発祥の地にして、三つの時代に渡り鬼が跋扈する魔界。聖と魔の交錯する根源に、古代「丹後王国」の繁栄を見る。
