the dance “is a circle whose centre is the Devil, and in it all turn to the left, because all are heading towards everlasting death."
anyone else immediately wonder what turning right would have implied in the 13th century?
- gpvos 8y agoIt would be counterclockwise, and therefore also of the devil (though maybe according to other people?). I seem to remember something about some peoples having clockwise and others counterclockwise dances, according to whether their pagan gods were sun- or moon-based.
