Selected Quote

The purpose of seasonal festivals is periodically to revive the topocosm. Gaster coined this word from the Greek topo for place and cosmos for world order. Topocosm means 'the world order of a particular place.' The topocosm is the entire complex of any given locality conceived as a living organism, not just the human community but the total community the plants, animals and soils of the place. The topocosm is not only the actual and present living community but also that continuous entity of which the present community is but the current manifestation.
