☀ " Wilder Mann " - Pagan Ritual

These images, like archetypes, half-man half-beast, animal or vegetable, resurface from the depths of time on the occasion of ritualistic, pagan or religious festivals, celebrating the cycle of the seasons, the fat days, carnival or the eve of Easter.

In the common fund of the European rural societies, these characters or emblematic animals represented protective figures or symbols of fertility.

Call of the Koryos

For what do we work our hands, Down to wretched, arching bones,

When our ancestors did no such thing, But lived by force of arms alone?

For what glory do we toil, So that we might have meagre bread, 

When those before us weapons drew, And lived by their iron instead?

Why do we work as chided slaves, Tilling someone else’s land, When not so many years ago,

Our people lived with sword in hand?

-

Is it not glory that you seek?

Not battle for which you yearn?

Do you not want that fire and life,

Once held in your eyes to return?

Well it won’t come with life as this, Only Misery and woe it brings,

For here only monotony, Is fit to reign as tyrant king.

So will you sit and work away,

Until your days of youth are spent?

I for one shall freedom take, Or I shall die in the attempt.

-

Are we not sons of Father Mars?

Does not His blood run through our veins?

To see us hunched in such a state, He surely hangs His head in shame.

I wish to break these scathing bonds, Before my fleeting time elapsed,

I won’t remain a prisoner here, A workhorse caged and beat and trapped.

Will you choose dull and pitter peace, Or thunder of a bloody war?

You are free to choose your fate,

But I will suffer this no more.

- Poetica Atelli, Call of the Koryos

This painting is really hard to show in a square as she is in height. So i show you it in two part: half top and the half bottom. It’s calling the Hirsch Hiziger, after an alsacian ( i’m alsacian ) custom of wild men tradition. In February in some towns people hunt the the wild man. Some says if you don’t give him something as offering he will steal a girl of the village. So everyone dance with him prisoner and visit all houses. The whole painting measures 240x120cm. I use egg tempera and gold leaf.
