"Henna, the Joyous Body Art" is ready from Godolphin House now.. The
link to order it is below: (left side of the page)
It's not available from me directly, (I'm not selling it) you have to
get it from
Godolphin House Publishing , email school@citynet.net
PO Box 297 (Henna)
Hinton, WV 25951-0297
304-466-2613 or 800-407-6660
fax 304-466-1353
It's $19.95 retail, add $3 shipping and handling to total $22.95 ,
and they wholesale it too. They do Visa and MC.

I'm not certain it's kosher to review a movie wherein the camera is on
me for nearly all of the 115 minutes (eeeeaugh)and for which I did all
the writing, but here's my rant on it.

If you ever wanted to sit in my henna parlor or at Sirius Rising and
hear me talk nonstop about the traditions of henna back to the
neolithic period ..... and every last thing I go into here is fully
researched, backed up in four part harmony with bibliography, and
verification in artifact and written evidence.... this vid will do the
job for you! Its primo henna traditions back to the source. It's
probably be a very decent seller in your henna business!

Anyone on the forum will probably want to fast forward through the
first part about mixing, (cos you already know all that) and go
straight to the history part. Gavin, who shot and put this together
seemed to think that mixing belonged at the front rather than the
back, and it's his company .... so be it.

This is NOT a professional quality video. Godolphin House doesn't have
that level of production company. The henna information is absolutely
my best, but the shooting, printing and editing .... well ... some of
it would make Ed Wood turn in his angora sweater. If you can deal
with some aspects of this production eclipsing "Plan 9 from Outer
Space" .... I think you'll like it. It'll certainly keep me humble
if I'm ever famous.

Zimra looks lovely dancing at the beginning ... the henna on her hands
had a good dose of Tea Tree oil, and is gonzo dark and pretty behind
her zills ..... and the assortment of hennaed hands looks very nice.
Tell Mr, De Mille, though, that in the rest of my lifetime, I will
probably NEVER be ready for a close-up ... the farther back that
camera is from my face, the better I look!

Last year, at Sirius Rising, I was talking with Jeremy, "Wouldn't it
be great if someone would shoot a proper instructional video of these
henna lectures", and within 24 hours, the Godolphin folks came by and
said, "We'd like to shoot a video of your henna lectures". The
goddess is alive and magic is afoot! Especially with these folks.
I've been friends with them for over a decade ..... and I always enjoy
visiting them.
