TRAVELOGUE-MY FIRST REAL TRYST WITH THE OCCULT

1,000 w Kolazhi 04.09.2009   TRAVELOGUE –MY FIRST REAL TRYST WITH THE OCCULT   I was born a Kshatriya or a warrior  in the house of the Zamorin , the erstwhile ruler of Kozhikode in the present State of Kerala, India, which is where Vasco De Gamma landed after his historic voyage in search of the sea route to India and obtained trading concessions especially for spices from the Raja. The “Zamorin” exists to this day and has the distinction of being the only Indian prince who still draws the privy purse (compensation) which the government of India shamelessly withdrew arbitrarily, retracting all their earlier promises to the contrary, when the then strongman and Home Minister, Mr. Patel gave them the option of willingly acceding to the newly Independent India or having to forcibly annex their vast properties, belongings and jewelry.  At that time and even now, in the northern part of kerala, where this story commences, we followed the Matriarchal system , whereby the children adopted the name of the mother’s family house as prefix to their name. Since time immemorial, our women have always strong and had equal rights with men right from their birth.   My tryst with the occult started in the house where I was born. It was called kuttichathan’s  kavu(abode). Kuttichathan is a small demigod in Hindu Mythology with wide powers for helping or harming people.
