ABSTRACT

The Arctic is at times 20 degrees Celsius warmer than it should be at this time of year. The ice is melting so fast that scientists say it is literally off the charts. Hurricane Ophelia, which hit Ireland in October 2017 was off the digital maps prepared by meteorologists who never expected such a large storm to be so far north-east, the images of half the storm literally disappeared from their computers. As the culture began to burn its ancient fossils and build its factories, art works which once had specific purpose place became separated from their functional contexts and enclosed for silent and reverential contemplation within the new concert halls and museums, rising middle class. Using the witch hunters' vivid propaganda, including lurid details of the orgiastic rituals of the Sabbats, men were taught to fear the power of women, whose key social roles as healers, midwives, and soothsayers were incompatible with capitalist, rationalist world view, discipline of work.
