Saint Josaphat Kuntsevych of Polotsk

1580-1623

Feast Day: November 12 (New), November 14 (Trad)

Patronage: Ukraine

Saint Josaphat, born in Ukraine, became a monk for the Ukrainian Order of St. Basil and 5 years later a priest for the Byzantine Church. He worked for unity and peace between the Eastern Orthodox and Latin Roman Churches, which were divided since 1054. Josaphat was made the first Bishop of Vitebsky in 1617 during an intense level of unrest between the two groups. Being the holy man that he was, he started building and reforming his diocese. In 1623, a mob of Orthodox citizens was incensed to riot and murdered Bishop Josaphat. He was canonized as the first Eastern Church saint in 1867.

The Sora use the term renabti, which means the impulse of spirits as a force, power, or energy. They see electricity as operating in the same way as renabti, which is similarly dynamic and capable of storage in containers, transmission along threads, and leaping across gaps.

Piers Vitebsky attended a shamanic rite called Moshi Tiba, in Nepal, which was designed to call on the souls of deceased people. Attending the rite were five shamans, sitting side by side chanting, waiting for the souls of deceased people to arrive in their presence.

Vitebsky took a photo during the rite with a digital camera, which revealed something quite extraordinary: colored energy shapes that were superimposed over the bodies and heads of the shamans and other people in attendance. When Vitebsky showed the photo to one of the shamans after the rite, the shaman commented, with much surprise:

This is what the god, the witches and the ancestors look like! They don’t really look the way you see them in pictures, with faces. These [Vitebsky’s photos] are the exact colours I see, in exactly the right positions. But how can a camera see what only I can see? This is secret knowledge, ordinary people can’t see these things. It must be a very good camera.

[breakfast-at-timothys]

Paul Procopolis:

The advent of cheap long-playing vinyl records in the 1960s, meant that unscrupulous companies issued records of material under pseudonyms to avoid paying royalties or because they did not own the copyright to the recordings.

The reasons for Saga Records issuing recordings under the pseudonym, Paul Procopolis, are uncertain, as they would almost certainly have had the copyright to at least some of the material.

Some of the LPs included a biography, alleging Procopolis, a completely non-existent pianist, was born in Athens in 1934, studied with Nadia Boulanger in Paris, and lived and taught in Greece.

Ernst Lumpe has attempted to identify the real artists whose recordings were incorrectly released under the name Paul Procopolis, including: Sergio Fiorentino (including the complete Chopin waltzes, extracts from Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier, and works by Liszt);  Bernard Vitebsky (his Beethoven Concerto No. 3); Albert Ferber (an LP of "The World's Best Loved Piano Music"); and Clive Lythgoe.

The recording of the Second Chopin Concerto has been identified as that of the Brazilian pianist, Carmen Vitis Adnet, (who lived in Vienna and was married to pianist Hans Graf).

Further recordings, such as the First Chopin Concerto, remain unidentified.

Vitebsky Station - St Petersburg, Russia 

Vitebsky Station was the first train station to be built in the Russian empire. The first Russian train, Provorny, left the stations platform for the first time in 1837, in a ceremony inaugurated by Nicholas I of Russia. The station originally consisted of just a few rooms and platforms, and was built of timber. Eventually, due to the small size, the original rooms were demolished in place for newer, larger designs, and the station has continued to expand since. The stations opulent Art Nouveau interiors made it one of the most ornate buildings in St Petersburg. While much of the architectural detail was removed during the soviet era, much effort has been made since 2003, to restore the station to its former glory.

Services from Vitebsky run to European countries, such as the Ukraine, Estonia, Poland, Germany and Hungary.

A shaman from Nepal met a Westerner who remarked how good it must be to live in harmony with the cosmos. The shaman replied, “The main part of my job is killing witches and sorcerers. I am terrified every time before I perform a big ritual because I know that each time, one of us has to die.”Piers Vitebsky, Shamanism"The Shaman" Dec-Art
