Drawing upon numerous stays in Raffles over 35 years and the fast-ascending city all around it, Iyer—a lifelong global soul—reflects on the "Grand Old Lady's" literary legacy and its mark on writers everywhere.

In Travels with Charlie, William and Charlotte Stronghold quit their jobs and sell their belongings in order to set sail and find a new home somewhere between their native California and the green mountains of Vermont. Along the way, they fall in love and into hate with the popular culture that binds Americans together. The lines are blurred between shady roadside attractions and heralded national monuments, between the natural wonders of the country and the loud and annoying tourists who populate them, between the concepts of place and self.

In June 2023, writer Dan Rubinstein lashed camping gear to his stand-up paddle board and embarked on an improbable solo voyage from Ottawa to Montreal, New York City, Toronto, and back to Ottawa along the rivers, lakes, and canals of a landlocked region. Over 1,200 miles and ten weeks, he explored the healing potential of "blue space"—the aquatic equivalent of green space—and sought out others drawn to their local waters.

Germany - the powerhouse of Europe and pillar of the Eurozone - feels reassuringly familiar. However, despite superficial appearances, this is a country that operates very differently from the USA and Britain. German history is more than a thousand years old and the relatively new German nation-state encompasses an astonishing variety of cultural and regional differences. German society is also in a state of flux, as people respond to immigration and a tough economic climate, and traditional attitudes such as formality and rigid protocol are softening as German business globalizes.

Tom Michell is in his roaring 20's: single, free-spirited and seeking adventure.

京の出入口「京の七口」の一つとして、古くから知られた粟田口。京都盆地東端のこの地は、古代、五代孝昭天皇の子孫・粟田氏が鉱物採取や粟、瓜の生産を行ったという。平安時代には、清和天皇の勅により、祇園の八坂神社の疫病鎮めの神・牛頭天皇を祀る社が建立された。八坂神社は感神院とも呼ばれた為、こちらは感神院新宮と呼ばれたが、これが現在の粟田神社である。鉱物資源に恵まれていた為か、粟田口近辺には、古より刀工が数多く住んでいた。その中でも代表的なのが、平安時代の三条小鍛冶宗近と、鎌倉時代の粟田口藤四郎吉光で、古代からの製鉄の神・天目一箇神とともに、境内の末社・鍛冶神社の祭神となっている。特に、三条小鍛冶宗近は伝説的な存在で、一条天皇の宝刀「小狐丸」は、稲荷明神が化身した童子が合槌を打って完成したといい、その稲荷の神は、粟田神社境内摂社の北向稲荷神社や、粟田神社と三条通を挟んだ向かいに建つ合槌稲荷神社に鎮まるという。この伝説は、謡曲「小鍛冶」の題材となっていて、能や神楽、歌舞伎等の伝統芸能を通じ広く知られて来たが、近年、名刀を美男子として擬人化した「刀剣乱舞」でも取り上げられ、若い女性にも三条小鍛冶宗近の名が知られるようになった。今も昔も、「刀剣に神が宿る」地、粟田。ここに伝統文化とサブカルチャーの交錯を見る。

島根県西部・石見の国は、今も神楽の盛んな地域である。「石見神楽」と総称され、速いテンポと激しい踊り、派手な衣装とスモークや花火等の特殊効果、力強い口上と魔物退治が中心の血湧き肉躍るストーリー等々、娯楽性が高いもので、石見地方一帯において、世代を超えて支持されている。上演頻度も非常に高い。新たな演目が創作される事もある。つまりは、津軽三味線や沖縄の島唄のような、今も「生きている」郷土芸能なのだ。高橋御山人は、これまで石見地方の様々な神社で何度も神楽を観て来た。毛布にくるまって徹夜で観た事もある。今回観たのは川本町・武明八幡宮での奉納神楽だ。地元の城跡を題材とした創作演目「丸山築城」も上演された。当地周辺には、石見神楽の源流となる大元神楽も伝わっている。これは数年に一回だけ上演され、テンポもゆるやかで、神憑りによる託宣が下りることもある、神事としての色合いが濃いものである。神楽は、明治になって政府が禁じるまで、神職や山伏等の宗教者が演じる、神事そのものだったのである。さて、こんな魔物退治の神楽が盛んな「石見」の地名由来も、また魔物退治の神話にある。八束水臣津野命（やつかみずおみつぬのみこと）が魔石を討った事によるといい、その岩は今も邑南町・八色石（やいろいし）の龍岩神社に鎮座する。石見の国は「活劇」の国だ。

百社巡礼の対談相手・盛池雄峰師宅のある、山梨県上野原市の神社を取り上げ、収録も上野原で行う「上野原シリーズ」。第一弾は、市街地の北東、東京都、神奈川県との境近くの山中に鎮座する軍刀利神社（ぐんだりじんじゃ）。祭神は日本武尊で、その東征の帰り道、草薙の剣を神の宿る剣として祀ったとされるが、創建は平安中期で、社名から密教の軍荼利明王（ぐんだりみょうおう）を祀った、修験道の聖地であったことは明らかだ。明王とは、仏道に導き難い者を力ずくで帰依させる存在で、多くは憤怒の表情、逆立った髪、何本もの手に武器を持つという、恐ろしい姿を取る。そのルーツは、古代インドで鬼や悪魔に相当する夜叉や修羅だが、軍荼利明王の場合は、クンダリーニという蛇の女神が起源である。ヨガにおいては、性器と肛門の間にある、最も下部のチャクラに宿っており、クンダリーニを覚醒させ、脊髄を上昇させて、その途上にあるチャクラを開いていき、頭頂に至る事によって「解脱」できるとされている。それが伝播の過程で男性となったのが、現在の軍荼利明王である。しかし、そうした遠い起源は忘れられ、ここでは軍神として崇拝されている。明治の神仏分離により、明王とも切り離されたが、剣を奉納する信仰は続いている。神格の変遷と土着化する信仰というものについて考察する。
