Topic: Haruspex


  
  PROGRESSIVEWORLD.NET: REVIEWS BY STEPHANIE SOLLOW
Haruspex is not the Linux database software or game software, either (for those tech-heads that were wondering).
From the Occultopedia that I came across in my web-wanderings prepping for this review, it means: "The Latin name for a diviner, originally derived from the Etruscan method of divination which involved the foretelling of future events from an examination of the entrails of slaughtered animals (haruspicy).
Well, "Haruspex," the first track is a dialog-less horror film, told with music and eerie, ethereal vocalizations from Lynnette Shelley.

 Haruspex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Roman practice inherited from the Etruscans, a haruspex (plural haruspices) was a man trained to practice a form of divination called haruspicy or hepatoscopy.
In 408, the haruspices offered their services when the Goths under Alaric threatened Rome; Pope Innocent I reluctantly agreed to allow them to help so long as the rituals were kept secret.
One of the characters in Neil Gaiman’s Death: The High Cost of Living is a haruspex.

 Victoria and the Haruspex
The opening epic "Haruspex" is a jarring and at times unsettling piece of work, as the band throws all sorts of styles at the listener.
In regard to that and patience, Victoria and the Haruspex separates the "long" from the "short" and the "haves" from the "have nots." This CD from the Philadelphia-based progressive music band, The Red Masque, could send commercial radio programmers running and screaming for their lives.
It isn't just that the first song, the nearly 25 minute "Haruspex," lasts longer than the rest of the songs put together, either; they'd be terrified that the intro to this song takes a good three or four minutes, which is just about the lifespan of most chart toppin' hits.

This is because the wavefunction of the haruspex's mind is also connected to that of the egg and the rest of the universe.
