高橋御山人の書籍発行記念、特別対談。今回出版した「鬼女紅葉伝説紀行鬼無里編」は、現代の魔女・谷崎榴美（るみ）氏の依頼が発端となった。ここでいう「魔女」とは、古代ヨーロッパ信仰のシャーマン（巫女）であり、キリスト教の普及により追いやられ、零落した存在である。それを復興しようという運動が「ウィッカ」「魔女宗」であり、谷崎氏はその日本における実践家として、西洋のみならず、日本のシャーマニズム的儀式の復興に取り組んでいる。その谷崎氏との対話の中で、高橋御山人が長年研究して来た信州・鬼無里の「鬼女紅葉」は、平安時代の「魔女」だという知見を得た。「鬼女紅葉」は、呪術に長け、鬼として討伐されたと伝えられるが、卑弥呼のごとき日本古来のシャーマニズムの継承者だったとされる（詳細は本シリーズ其之拾を参照）。今回出版した書籍は、「平安の魔女＝鬼女紅葉」の、鬼無里における伝承地を紹介し、また谷崎氏の目指す「古儀の復興」の一環として、「鬼女紅葉」に捧げる祝詞をも作成、その口語訳、解説とともに掲載した。対談では、神道における祝詞の解説と、祓詞の奏上も行っている。なお、書籍は谷崎氏の経営する大阪の「銀孔雀」と、鬼無里の十割そば処「おに屋」で販売。

Bill Bryson is an unabashed Anglophile who, through a mistake of history, happened to be born and bred in Iowa. Righting that error, he spent 20 years in England before deciding to repatriate. This was partly to let his wife and children experience life in Bryson's homeland - and partly because he had read that 3.7 million Americans believed that they had been abducted by aliens at one time or another. It was thus clear to him that his people needed him. But before leaving his much-loved home in North Yorkshire, Bryson insisted on taking one last trip around Britain.

Hardly anyone ever leaves Des Moines, Iowa. But Bill Bryson did, and after 10 years in England he decided to go home, to a foreign country. In an ageing Chevrolet Chevette, he drove nearly 14,000 miles through 38 states to compile this hilarious and perceptive state-of-the-nation report on small-town America.

本シリーズも第九十社。テーマは言うまでもなく「神社」だが、作品の多くに共通するテーマとして「まつろわぬ民」や「鬼」がある。それは高橋御山人が長年運営しているWEBサイト「邪神大神宮」のテーマでもある。いずれも朝廷や幕府といった時々の権力に容易には従わなかった人々であり、本シリーズは第一社からしてアテルイがテーマで、各地の土蜘蛛を度々取り上げ、鬼女紅葉、酒呑童子、温羅等、「鬼」そのものも数多く紹介した。隼人の首領とされる弥五郎どんや、飛騨の両面宿儺等、「まつろわぬ」族長の影が濃い存在も登場している。傀儡子師や木地師といった、非農耕非定住の漂泊民も取り上げた。彼らも農耕定住を基盤とする日本の歴史的統治体系からすれば、一種の「アウトサイダー」であり、「まつろわぬ民」や「鬼」につながっている。非農耕の産鉄民をテーマとした回もあるが、農耕民から異様に見られた彼らは、「鬼」のルーツの一つである。こうして振り返ってみると、その一つの極、頂点に、後醍醐天皇という存在が浮かび上がって来る。天皇という体制の頂点にありながら、体制を破壊し再構築しようとした後醍醐天皇こそ、究極の「まつろわぬ」存在であり、「鬼」ではないか。そしてそれは、一般の認識とは異なる「天皇制」の別側面の象徴でもあった。「日本史の裏側」を透視する特別対談。

奈良県の飛鳥地方は、古代に都が置かれた、日本文化揺籃の地。 そこは、著名な石舞台古墳をはじめ、数多くの巨石構造物が残る地でもある。 それらのうちの幾つかは、大洪水の伝承や、ゾロアスター教の拝火台説など、 使途不明で、奇妙な言い伝えが残る、謎に包まれたものも少なくない。 そんな飛鳥の中心地に「飛鳥坐神社(あすかにいますじんじゃ)」が鎮座する。 飛鳥に都が置かれる以前から当地に鎮座する、出雲系の極めて古い神社であるが、 境内には数多くの男根と女陰の形の石が祀られており、飛鳥巨石文化の一部を成す。 この神社に伝わる「お田植祭(おんだまつり)」も、奇祭として知られる。 豊作と子孫繁栄を祈るこの神事では、天狗とオカメが性行為の踊りを奉納する。 現代では、前近代的な奇習としてばかり注目されがちなこういった文化も、 かつては家や村落の存続を賭けた、真摯な祈りが込められたものであった。 何となれば「子作り」は、現代においても、人工授精・体外受精など、 先端科学の粋を集めてでも成し遂げたいと願う人々も少なくない、 「自然の神秘」に左右される、困難で切実な事象だからだ。 近代以前の、生存率の低い社会にあっては、「子作り」はまさに神頼みであった。 子のない夫婦が神に祈って超人的な子を授かるのは、民話の定番でもあるし、 ...
