May 12: Saint Sylvester Magus, Pope
"One story of a succubus was told by Walter Mapes in his De Nugis Curialium (Courtier's Trifles) (approx. 1185) about Gerbert of Aurillac, who became Pope Sylvester II (999-1003). As a young man, Gerbert fell in love with the daughter of the Provost of Rheims. She rejected him, and he became despaired. One day he met a beautiful maiden named Meridiana who offered him sex, magical knowledge, and money if he would only stay faithful to her. He agreed and prospered rapidly becoming Archbishop of Rheims, Cardinal, Archbishop of Ravenna, and ultimately Pope. All the while, he kept Meridiana secret, and she even forgave him when the Provost's daughter found him inebriated and seduced him one day. Finally, Meridiana prophesied that Gerbert would die as he celebrated Mass in Jerusalem, which turned out to be a church close by possessing an alleged piece of the Cross. Realizing he was about to die, Gerbert made a public confession of his sins and died repentant. Mapes also noted that Gerbert's tomb in the Lateran sweats copiously before the death of a Pope." ~ culled from here~
May 30: Saint Sun Ra
"In tomorrow's world, men will not need artificial instruments such as jets and space ships. In the world of tomorrow, the new man will 'think' the place he wants to go, then his mind will take him there." ~ Sun Ra in 1956 ~
"It was an incredible concert. It was music like I had never heard before. Ra and the dancers were wearing capes. Fans on the floor blew the capes so they looked like multicolored wings. They had a spiral light on John Gilmore during his solos that created a tunnel effect. Ra was also using lights to make it look like he was sticking his head in a black hole in space. It was just unbelievable. I considered it holy music, music people should hear." ~ Jerry Gordon, co-owner of Evidence Music ~
"There a conspiracy, not by the government, I don't know who, to keep my music down." ~ Sun Ra in 1988 ~
"In some far off place Many light years in space I'll build a world of abstract dreams And wait for you." ~ Sun Ra ~
A tireless researcher into ancient mysteries and promoter of peace via his cosmic music, even when he was confined to a wheelchair. He fell asleep in 1993 at the age of 80 years.
