“The world must be periodically renewed or it may perish. The idea that the Cosmos is threatened with ruin if not annually re-created provides the inspiration for the chief festival of the California Karok, Hupa, and Yurok tribes. In the respective languages the ceremony is called ‘repair’ or 'fixing’ of the world, and, in English, 'New Year’. Its purpose is to re-establish or strengthen the Earth for the following year or two years.”

Mircea Eliade, with a frame from “Quando l’occhio trema” by Paolo Gioli (1989)
