3. Mago Academy is seeking participants in Virtual Mago Whale Pilgrimage Tour 1. Why whales? What about the calling of whales? Join us!
- Tour 1 (April 11-17 or TBA) no prerequisites required
Tuning to the calling of whales: We will (1) examine bio-sonic-aquatic-environmental features of whales, (2) explore the legacy of whales by visiting the following sites: Bangudae petroglyphs and the Sea of Whales (Korea’s Eastern Sea), whale myths and tales concerning particular persons, towns, and place-names, cetacean terms and sayings, whales in postpartum customs (“miyeok-guk, the birthday soup” and “podaegi, the baby carrying blanket on one’s back”), whales in the house heating system (ondol, traditional floor-heating architecture), (3) the Whale Bell (the whale-shaped mallet and whale names) and (4) some cross-cultural parallels such as nine-fold patterns, musical instruments, ondol in native peoples of Alaska (U.S.), Okhotsk (Russia), and beyond.
