Course no: 408
Instructor: Helen Hye-Sook Hwang, Ph.D.

Time: 9AM to 1PM PT on July 31 and August 7 (Two Fridays of 4 hour-long 2 weekly sessions)

This course explores bio-sono-aquatic-meteorological features of cetaceans (whales) and their symbols of the dragon, the serpent, and the sea monsters from a multidisciplinary perspective. By examining scientific, biological, mythic, linguistic, folkloric, religious, cultural, architectural, and astronomical data yet to be known to the world, we aim to assess the divine nature of whales as the linchpin of matriversal cosmology, described in the Budoji (the Epic of the Emblem Capital City), the ancient Korean text of Ceto-Magoism (the Whale-guided Way of the Creatrix). This course aids one to tap into the intellectual/spiritual power of the Ceto-Magoist consciousness undergirding our civilizations.
