Kajira Korner

Greetings, Masters, Mistresses, and slave girls,

Welcome to kajira korner!

A girl would like to thank everyone that reads her column each month and supports the Gorean Voice. This one is very thankful that she is able to help in some small way with questions from the readers.

As always this column seeks to be a bit humorous, funny, but also pleasing to the heart, body, mind, and soul of the Gorean way. If you have any questions or comments, please email:      kajira_korner@hotmail.com     kajira_korner@hotmail.com

A girl wishes all a wonderful month,

Food for thought:

The true slave is within the woman. She knows it is there. She will not be happy until she terminates inward dissonances, until she casts out rending contradictions, until she achieves emotional, moral, physiological and psychological consistency, until she surrenders to her inward truths.

Dear kajira korner,

I find Myself in a bit of a dilemma. Over a year ago I purchased some silks for my girl. I wish to do so again but, alas, the web site I visited to make these purchases is no longer within my computer. I found the e-mail address I used to write to the person making these silks but it is no longer a valid address. My question is this. Do you, or anyone known to you, know of a place where I might procure silks? The person I ordered them from originally is named Clara Hecavarria and I believe resided in the Chicago area. I'm attaching several pictures that I had copied from the original web site in the hope that it may help. I thank the girl for her time and effort in advance. May the moons of Gor smile warmly upon you.

Sincerely,

Master WolfSpirit

Greetings, Master WolfSpirit,

A girl has spent many hours searching the web looking for sites that do sell and make silks. What she came up with is a list of different web sites. None that she has tried herself, but ones that you may wish to look at for the procurement of the silks you desire. This girl would also like to point out that if your slave sews, she maybe able to make her own silks at home. A girl would also suggest trying perhaps, Victoria Secret, Fredericks of Hollywood, and other lingerie stores that may have something suitable as well. Why they may not look like the true Gorean example, they are usually well made and sturdy. A girl would also suggest doing a search for silks on ebay. There are also several other web sites that this girl has mailed to Master WolfSpirit for his perusal.

(Disclaimer - A girl offers the silk site suggestions above as an at your own risk purchase. As she has not purchased silks from them, she does not know the quality, type, or condition of a garment you may receive. The old saying "Buyer beware" applies here. Good Luck!)

Dear kajira korner,

Recently a girl's Master gave her the gift of emerald earrings, and an emerald for girl's belly. This gift made her "thirsty" for more knowledge of the gems and minerals of Gor. Search as she may, she has not found much information. Asking and poking about the Merchants hoping to acquire such led her to think there is a void of info on the subject. Any help would be appreciated.

With love and appreciation,

A girl first would like to say what a wonderful gift from your owner! As for the gems and minerals of Gor, this slave went poking through the books and came up with a few references.

Gems on Gor were regarded in some ways as precious, other ways as not so important. A girl believes this varied from region to region. They were used to make banners, barter for good, often times even as show pieces of warriors. In many instances we see the same gems that would be found on both Earth and Gor. Here is a listing of gems for the pleasure of the readers and yourself of kajira korner. :)

Emeralds

I saw that the scabbard was set with six stones. Emeralds. Perhaps not of great value, but worth taking.

Outlaw of Gor, page 176

Strange and cruel are the ways of Gor, I thought, where six small green stones, weighing perhaps scarcely two ounces, and a damaged helmet, could purchase a human being.

Outlaw of Gor, page 196

Common Opal, Flame Opal, Sereem Diamond

Before Suleiman, now, there lay five stones, three sereem diamonds, red, sparkling, white flecked, and two opals, one a common sort, milky in color, and the other an unusual flame opal, reddish and blue. Opals are not particularly valuable on Earth, but they are much rarer on Gor; these were excellent specimens, cut and polished into luminescent ovoids; still, of course, they did not have the value of the diamonds.

Tribesman of Gor, page 92

Pearls

I looked at him steadily. "They are probably false stones," I said, "amber droplets, the pearls of the Vosk sorp, the polished shell of the Tamber clam, glass colored and cut in Ar for trade with ignorant southern peoples."

Nomads of Gor, page 20

Ruby

I thrust out the silver paga goblet, studded with rubies, and Telima, standing beside my thronelike chair, filled it.

Raiders of Gor, page 223

Sapphire

"You will note," he said, "that you wear a common slave leash and collar. There is nothing unusual or valuable about them. The collar, for example, is neither set with sapphires nor is it trimmed with gold. The leash, similarly, is of plain but sturdy material. Both devices are quite ordinary, but, of course, quite efficient."

Kajira of Gor, page 337

Minerals for a girl were more hard to define. So she first looked up the definition of the word.

Mineral - an inorganic substance found naturally in the earth, as metallic ore. Any substance that is neither vegetable nor animal. Webster's New World Dictionary, page 375

With the definition in hand a girl started her search through the pages of the books. This one came up with a listing of some of the more common minerals of Gor.

Copper

One of the guardsmen opened her mouth, not gently, and retrieved the coin, a rather large one, a tarsk bit. Ten such coins make a copper tarsk. A hundred copper tarsk make a silver tarsk.

Explorers of Gor, page 54

Gold

"The gold," said he, "is a precious metal, is thought perhaps fitting for a free woman, in particular for one of high station, and certainly for a Tatrix."

Kajira of Gor, page 440

Salt

Similarly, the heavy cylinders of salt, mined and molded at Klima, are carried on backs of salt slaves from storage areas at Klima to storage areas in the desert, whence they are tallied, sold and distributed to caravans.

Tribesmen of Gor, page 239

Silver

"You see the collars," said Kron, pointing to the slender graceful bands of silver each girl wore at her throat. "We melted the masks and used the silver for the collar."

Outlaw of Gor, pgs. 225-226

A girl hopes this has been able to help you in your question of knowledge on minerals and gems of Gor. This girl would also like to offer that she feels this may not be all the minerals and gems of Gor. But it is a good representation of what could of been found upon Gor. :)
