This is another image from Ride the Dragon. The center of the ceremony was a Mystery Play about the turning of the Age. The central ritual act of the Mystery Play involved a large papier ma-che dragon representing the en-ergy of the New Age. The dragon required two people to manipulate it, amid a great deal of dry ice mist. In the scene represented here the Matriarch of the Old Age passes her wisdom to the Maiden of the New Age.
