Sacred Holiday:
My saced holiday would be Christmas Eve/ Christmas Day. On this day my entire family gathers together to celebrate Jesus's Birthday. We always join at my aunt's house and everyone brings gifts that we place under the Christmas tree. My mom and aunts join together to make an enormous meal for everyone to enjoy. Loud music plays throughout the entire house.  One of my uncles always dresses up as Santa Claus and ends up scareing at least one of my neices or newphews. At midnight we all surround the Christmas tree to open gifts, take pictures and enjoy the celebration. Eliades argument of primordial chaos takes place within my sacred holiday.

Lambchop "Is a Woman" Analysis

In Lambchops, "Is a Woman" video he uses Eliade's ideas such as, aboltion of past time, restoration of primordial chaos and repition of cosmogonic act as he expresses the theme of life. He begins the video with the last leaf of fall falling from a tree and quickly it becomes winter, which signifies death and also ends profane time. The leaf travels through a river, the water symbolizes purification or a new start. Still in the river the season begins to morph from winter to spring and the leaf jumps out of the river, but as it does so, an overflow of leaves also jump out out showing what Eliade calls indeterminate unity. Finally, the leaves find a tree and they all jump onto it and he also shows the sun coming out for a new day which symbolizes fire and  Eliade claims the fire represents renewal  or a new begining.

CASSANDRA

GENDER: Feminine USAGE: English, Greek Mythology (Latinized) OTHER SCRIPTS: Κασσανδρα (Ancient Greek) PRONOUNCED: kə-SAN-drə (English), kə-SAHN-drə (English)   [key] Meaning & History From the Greek Κασσανδρα (Kassandra), which possibly meant "shining upon man", derived from κεκασμαι (kekasmai) "to shine" and ανηρ (aner) "man" (genitive ανδρος). In Greek myth Cassandra was a Trojan princess, the daughter of Priam and Hecuba. She was given the gift of prophecy by Apollo, but when she spurned his advances he cursed her so nobody would believe her prophecies. In the Middle Ages this name was common in England due to the popularity of medieval tales about the Trojan War. It subsequently became rare, but was revived in the 20th century.

My mom named me Cassandra simply because she like the name, it doesn't have any personal family meaning behind it.


SACRED CENTER
One of my sacred centers would be my home. It's not only a house, for me, it means a whole lot more.  It is a symbol of hardwork, love, and comfort.
