The esoteric heritage in …..

Sake.

Sake or (FF)S!

How did ancient Japanese warriors get pumped up for battle?

How does a sports person get pumped for an event? It’s probably completely individual (although I personally favour hurdler, Michelle Jenneke’s little method).

However, ‘Kuji no in’ was one method for the samurai going into conflict.

Another technique sometimes used in the Japanese sword arts is Ah-Un breathing, borrowed from, again, Zen (Rinzai)

There are a few variations from the one demonstrated in this video. The one I favour is to inhale on a slightly closed rims glottidis through the mouth creating a sort of screeching sound as the air goes in and a humming sound on the exhalation. I perform nine cycles as part of my preparation for practise.

Ffs?

Ffs?

‘For f**k sake’. An expression of exasperation. Maybe it’s British?

Nigori is meant to be consumed cold. I am a big time blasphemer from waaaay back.

Civilization… as in the decay of western? Great flick! Part one anyway, I’m not into metal.

Probably not, you seem like a very nice person with higher standards.

Generally speaking have cheap sake hot, expensive cold

Druids are old school pre Victorian. I don't much about them other than they were big into the spiritualism. I don't know any group in ancient times that wasn't. They also were combat trained, but I don't know much about that part.

Pretty much everyone in Dungeons and Dragons are trained up for combat. That includes the druids.

Nope, not that...its the Sake thing...sorry..... cold sake drinking is an abomination of all things Sake

I’m not much a fan of Sake, there, I said it. Abominations on the other hand…

Hmmm. That’s a different take. I’m pretty uninformed on Sake. I wouldn’t know expensive from cheap.

You are a fan of abominations?

I have no problem with not liking Sake... and no problem with abomination. separately but put cold and Sake together and it becomes an abomination that should not be tolerated..
