@Crissy making pottery, especially coil building without using the wheel. I was taught a coil building method by a Zulu (South African) potter that goes back thousands of years.

My neighbor has a frame drum. He’s of Irish descent and calls it bodhrân. They’re very cool instruments.

@Crissy

My ancient practice is following cycles in the night sky. It's a touchstone, it's a measure of the passage of my life at different rhythms.

Daily march of sunrise and sunset

Monthly cycle of the moon

Yearly cycle of the constellations

Synodic and sidereal cycles of the bright planets. My favorite is Jupiter. From our earthly point of view it takes about 12 years for it to make one lap around the ecliptic. I've watched it do over four laps.
