Gasbockrennen - loosely translated as the goat chase - is a
village fete tradition for Monday afternoons.
Someone dresses up as a goat, someone as a farmer's wife, someone
as a baby, to then run around the village and chase onlookers,
paint black stripes in their faces, and gennerally create some
fuss. It's obviously somewhere deep down a pagan ritual, and linked
to bullfighting. With each cosmic age coming to an end, the
associated star sign - like the Capricorn - is chased away, to make
space for the next species. Taurus is followed by Capricorn, is
followed by Piscine - the age we are just about to leave behind
us.
