[edit] Bavor Rodovský

Bavor Rodovský (c. 1526 – 1599) was a noted Czech alchemist of his era. He was also a translator of alchemical texts, an astronomer and chemist of the Rudolf II era. Rodovský wrote scholarly papers that are considered to be some of the best examples of Czech alchemy at the end of the 16th century.

Rodovsky's date of death is disputed. Three different references offer the dates of(1526 – 1566), (c. 1526-1592), and (1526-1600).

In November 1997 a complete replica of an alchemy laboratory and a small alchemy museum was built in the Castle of Budyně nad Ohri in the village of Strakonice, about 40 kms NNW of Prague, which was where Rodovsky had once worked. One of the primary organisers of this project was Dr Lubos Antonin of the Castle Libraries department at the National Museum of Czech Republic, and a participant in the Conferences in Cesky Krumlov in 1995 and Prague in 1997.

[edit] Biography

[edit] Early life

Rodovsky was descended from an old Czech family of squires. His grandfather, Bavor the Senior from whom he was named, was believed to be a wizard and it was rumored at the time that he could produce gold. However, this was unlikely however because the Rodovsky family lacked even the wealth to support five descendants, which included Bavor the junior. Three of Bavor's brothers left the manor and entered military service. Bavor could not afford to attend Prague university, and so he stayed home and studied independently.

Bavor Rodovsky was born into a family already experienced in the study of alchemy. He began to study alchemy after he inherited some alchemaic tools after the death of his parents.

Rodovsky's studies concentrated on alchemy, astronomy, and mathematics, as well as history, philosophy, and languages. His language studies focused on German, Latin and classical Greek. Although he never attended a formal university his studies eventually allowed his education to exceed that of his formally educated peers, particularly in languages.

[edit] Gorean Slave Positions & Commands

Slavery is a universal institution on the fictional planet of Gor ("The Counter-Urth") in the 26 Gorean Chronicles written by science fiction author John Norman. A specific culture and set of customs and protocols has arisen on Gor as a result of that institution, which includes a large number of slave positions.

A female slave is a kajira, and a male slave is a kajirus. The majority of Gorean slaves discussed in the Gor books are by and large, female, and so the positions will be described using the feminine. The majority of people who own female slaves in the Gor books are overwhelmingly male, and so the person giving commands will be described in the masculine. The laws of Gor as expressed in the books dictate that any free person may dictate commands to any slave, and that the slave must obey, such that it cannot be assumed that the person who is commanding the slave at that moment owns him or her.

[edit] The Positions

Nadu: The person commanding the slave will either say "Nadu," or he will simultaneously snap his fingers and point at where he wants the slave to place herself, he will turn his hand, spread his fist and index finger, and point downwards.

The slave kneels up off of her heels, with her back very straight, and her chin up. Her hands are on her thighs, and her knees spread as widely as she can. Her eyes are downcast, focused on a spot halfway between herself and the floor. In most Gorean kneeling positions, the slave carefully positions her hands palms facing upward, which is a cultural expression of her vulnerability, need, and obedience.

Tower: The slave kneels up off of her heels, with her back very straight, and her chin up. Her hands are on her thighs palms facing upward. Unlike the position Nadu, her thighs are modestly closed, and as a result this is usually the kneeling position a kajira will assume in the presence of a Gorean free woman, who might otherwise become offended by the vulgar display of the slave girl's sex. Her eyes are downcast, focused on a spot halfway between herself and the floor.

Coffle: The coffle command is usually given to a group of slaves. The slaves kneel close together in a straight line, up off of their heels, with their backs very straight, their thighs parted and chins up. The slaves raise either the left or right wrist dependant upon whether their wrists are bieng placed in a left or right-hand shackle in the coffle device. Coffles are used when a master is transporting his slaves, such as when a member of the caste of slavers is transporting his goods for sale.

Collar: Also known as "the Position of Female Submission": The free person or slave kneels back on her heels, with her back very straight at the free man's feet. The slave lowers her head in submission, and raises her hands and crosses her wrists in preparation for binding. This is the standard position for a woman who is about to be reduced from freedom to slavery, or a slave bieng bound by a new master before bieng transported elsewhere. A person may not necessarily be ordered to assume this position, however, once a person has become a slave, she cannot become free again without the authority of a free person. It is universal law of Gor that a slave must be kept, killed, or sold, and so a free person can reduce him or herself to slavery and force a free person to take custody of her by assuming this position. Of course, this doesn't guarentee that the free person will not keep the slave just long enough to sell her. It should be noted that the Gorean expression for "Collar," is "Kolar," and the command is often referred to as "Kolar" in Online Gor.

"Bound by the master's will:"

Gag law:

Speak as a slave: In the Gorean books, slaves often speak in first person in their thoughts, among one another, and to their masters and mistress. However, if a Master becomes displeased, he may elect to command his slave to speak as a slave, which is in third person. The intention is to humiliate the slave and remind her that she is socioeconomically beneath the free human biengs who command her.

[edit] Other commands

"Light the lamp of love" or "Ravishment Lamp:" In Gorean households, free men and women sleep in beds or on couches, while slaves sleep on reed pallets or a pile of fur skins. "The furs," the slave's pallet that is, may be located in her cell in the lower portions of a large holding, or next to a sturdy poll at the foot of the free person's bed. The slave is typically shackled by the left ankle to the poll. This is largely symbolic, as there are few incentives for a slave to want to escape her captivity on the planet Gor. The ravishment lamp itself, or lamp of love, is a small lamp lit with the oil of the tharlarion which a kajira lights and then sets in the window of her master's bedroom, as a public indicator that they are about to engage in sexual activity, so that they will not be disturbed by visitors or other members of the household. The lamp also provides just enough light for the master to look upon his slave if he wishes, as they engage in coitus. Additionally, the kajira may light the lamp as a worldess form of begging for sexual attention if her master has not recently paid any attention to her.
