Mediterranean Trancework Part I: Shapeshifting

(Pictured: Athena with Aegis, Hercules with lion-skin pelt stealing a tripod from Apollo--who clearly has some thoughts about that since he is grabbing it and trying to pull it away from Hercules, all while the Pythia watches while holding incense in her hand.)

Gods, heroes, spirits, and even certain mortals are illustrated consistently in iconography to be surrounded by their specific encoded trappings--their unique clothing, weapons, holy symbols, and items or even creatures that they have with them. Even the number of dots or lines used in abstract background images have an encoded meaning when they are present. Usually representing the counting of time by days, lunar cycles/months, or even years. The direction of a triangle, pointing up or down, also has a contextual meaning. Even the hairstyle worn by a figure is there to provide context clues for what you are seeing. Nothing is truly background in iconography. All of it works together to identify who the characters are, what they are doing, and when it is happening. It is meant to be read and it is even meant to be somewhat easy to understand at a glance.

The deeper forms of Mediterranean trancework relate to shapeshifting, spirit possession, prophecy, deity Bridalwork, and variations related to those main four. All of these types of rituals involve three things that are not necessary in basic trancework. Those things are:

Legomena. Things recited. Sacred words, sacred chants, spirit threads. When these particular things are spoken in the right way, it induces specific trance effects.

Deiknumena. Things shown. This would be your regalia, food and drink, colors, tools, spirit weapons, body art, etc. Depending on the ritual, these things are either just made visible to the entranced or they are handled, imbibed, or worn.

Dromena. Behaviors. The actions that are prompted by exposure to the combination of legomena and deiknumena.

Shapeshifting

Shapeshifting can be any kind of transformation. It can relate to gender, age, lycanthropy or some other form of animal transformation (bears, wolves, and pigs being the most common), or turning an ordinary mortal into a hero (or anti-hero) for a time. All of which are done in order to accomplish a ritual objective, usually through elaborate ritual dances or through taking on a named role in reenacting a sacred legend. All shapeshifting rituals involve ritually imbibing something that will initiate the transformation, taking on the adornments that go with that transformation (wearing animal skins or essentially dressing the part), there is a ritual objective to be achieved while in that state, and then there is the proof of state--which is usually a demonstration of something inhuman. Like something your average mortal would be unable or unwilling to do in their right mind.

Hero legends are a roadmap for this process. Basically, any hero legend that you can find is something you can recreate through trancework and it was probably done that way in antiquity since that is how it is still done now. Becoming Hercules is something to physically do, to actually participate in. Enacting these types of transformations at specific points in the year helps to facilitate the changing of the seasons. It works to promote the spiritual hygiene of a community since one of the things done as a part of reenacting sacred legends is the blessing of an area. Which only a divinely chosen shapeshifted individual would have the spiritual authority to do.

The keyword here is divinely chosen. That basically just means that this is not something a person chooses to do for themselves as that would reek of hubris. Instead, out of a gathering of people qualified to do the job, some kind of divination process would take place. Usually by drawing lots in some way. The outcome of who does what has to always be left to chance but it is always quality controlled by limiting participation to people who have the spiritual authority to do the job to begin with. So, if a ritual has to do with death gods or heroes, then the pool of folks who draw lots would consist of people whose families have historically worked with the dead (as a mortician, gravedigger, or, to update this for a more modern world, as a coroner). Or they might involve people born under the dog star, or to a family who is under the protection of that collection of gods and spirits, or people born with other signs that would have been identified by a midwife at birth. There are a lot of ways to figure out who does this.

Honestly, at this point in the game, I think the pool is already limited enough so I would say that just feeling compelled to participate in something like this would put you in the group of folks drawing lots. There just aren't often very many of us gathered in any single location. Maybe one day when if there are too many applicants it can be narrowed down in one of the more traditional ways. That would be my suggested adaptation while saving room for the way that it has been done historically.

However, the most important aspect of being chosen to do this is the ability to actually do it. So, if this ritual involves performing 7 ritualized combat dances, you would have to know how to do those dances to even get a foot in the door. Thus we have our first real hurdle with this. Not many converts to Hellenic polytheism know the dances for this stuff or where they should go. The dances are not hard. They would have to be pretty simple and repetitive enough to keep the entranced entranced. All it takes is a little time and dedication. You could learn a traditional dance or remake one using several in the same genre as a guideline.

Heroes and spirits can take part in processionals where they would basically stay in character while moving from one place to another. Mind you, this is a sacred state achieved through trancework and not just cosplay with vibes. I just don't know any other way to describe it to a modern audience. While in such a processional, various archetypes/characters/heroes/spirits will interact with each other in their customary ways. This is the expected dromena mentioned a bit earlier. Each shapeshifted individual has an expected way in which they will behave and they are strictly limited to these behaviors in order for the sacred state to be recognized as valid.

So, during a processional, wicked daemones will run from or obey the sounds of ringing metal (even the clashing of swords). Heroes will be brave and keep spirits in line, protecting those who have gathered to watch. If there are two teams of shapeshifters, they will be antagonistic towards each other. Teams of naughty satyrs will do naughty satyr things to & with observers (within reason).

Watch this video below of the Mamuthones & Issohadores of Sardinia. And go ahead and let the idea that the origin of beings like Krampus are rooted in the processionals of spirits, heroes, and gods of the ancient world. Listen to that rhythm. That is the rhythm of transformation all across the Med. So, the music that goes with this and the movements done with this are evocative and it won't work with just anything. Pop music is fun for getting into the mood but those traditional rhythms and movements have a very specific purpose and all of it together forms an ancient bond between what we do now and what our ancestors have done.

Deity bridal work functions very similarly to this to the point that it can be virtually indistinguishable from shapeshifting in the results. The main differences between these things is the lead up to the ritual and the permanency of these states. Shapeshifters adopt the role for a limited time frame, Brides are compelled to do this for their entire lives and essentially have to live and behave in a ritual state the entire time.

Upstanding members of the community are traditionally favored for shapeshifting rituals. I know that part of that is just a reward for status but there is also an unspoken and pretty cute element to that as well. To put it simply, it is more fun to watch uptight moral people transform into wild beasts. And being divinely chosen to do it means they don't get to say no because it is an honor to turn into a dancing hairy doof. I will never stop giggling over that.

Shapeshifting rituals are for what we might call sympathetic magic today. They reaffirm our bond with the land and the changing seasons. They allow us to embody our heroes and form a link with our ancestors. It is sacred.
