A psycho-hypnautical session written by Ric Royer, using text taken from the infamous West Virginia Blessing sermon delivered by charismatic Christian preacher, Rodney Howard-Browne. In 1993, Brown whipped thousands of people who were in attendance into a frenzy through a sermon that consisted mostly of laughter and glossolalia. Thirteen people died. In Strange Fire, Royer and G Lucas Crane extract large sections of the sermon, and re-contextualizes the “sacred text” in a multi-sensory environment where the specific religious apparatus is removed, but the performative aspects of ritual and ecstatic trance are maintained.
