Conan learned that dance made warriors great
Not all of Rober E Howard's works were published. Some were not even written - thus impossible to find. The following is from a work even harder again to find. It reveals the importance of dance even worriors.
'Tis a primal force that stirs the blood and reverberates through the very soul of mankind. This called 'Dance', by Crom!
In its rhythmic embrace, dance weaves a tapestry of cultural identity, binding communities and celebrating our shared heritage. Hear me now, for I shall elucidate upon the might of dance and the bountiful benefits it bestows upon both body and culture.
Dance, a celebration of life, transcends the boundaries of language, allowing tribes and civilizations to communicate their stories and traditions through the art of movement. With each step, twirl, and leap, dancers channel the essence of their people, immortalizing their customs, triumphs, and struggles. It is a physical embodiment of culture, preserving our history and ensuring its endurance for generations to come.
Behold the physical prowess that dance instills within its practitioners! With every spirited rhythm, dance forges bodies of steel, honing agility, strength, and coordination. Warriors are born upon the dance floor, as the repetitive motions build endurance and sharpen reflexes. From the grace of a ballerina to the power of a tribal warrior, the physicality of dance transforms mere mortals into formidable champions.
But lo, the cultural impact of dance extends beyond the individual. It unifies tribes and clans, fostering a sense of community and shared purpose. In festivals and ceremonies, dance unites hearts and souls, creating a bond that transcends the divisions of race, creed, and belief. It is a force that binds disparate peoples, reminding them of their collective humanity and reminding them of their glorious heritage.
Furthermore, dance serves as a conduit for the preservation and dissemination of cultural knowledge. The intricate steps and gestures encapsulate ancient rituals, myths, and folklore, passing them down through generations. By engaging in dance, we pay homage to our ancestors, carrying their traditions forward and ensuring the flame of our culture never wanes.
Through dance, we pay tribute to the gods and goddesses who govern our lives. It is a divine communion, a spiritual connection between mortals and the divine. The rhythmic beat of drums echoes through our veins, awakening a primal connection to the forces that shape our destiny. In these moments, we become vessels of the divine, channeling their power and spreading their influence throughout our tribes.
In the end, dance is a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of humanity. It is a celebration of our shared existence, a vessel through which our cultures and identities find expression. As we gather around the fires, bodies moving in unison, we honor the legacy of our forebears, strengthen our communities, and forge bonds that transcend the limitations of mortal existence.
So, let the drums thunder, the music guide your steps, and the passion within you ignite like an inferno. Dance, my comrades, for it is a manifestation of our cultural richness, a conduit through which we express our deepest essence. Let the world bear witness to the power of dance and the indomitable spirit of our people!
