Question: this one would like to know
where on the left leg the brand goes. thank you
kyna: well, after some
research and many questions asked to Masters and slaves
kyna knows, this one has found some interesting
information about brands. first and foremost, the brand
may be on either thigh of the girl. it is commonly on the
left thigh, as the majority of Masters are right handed,
thus the Master can find it and caress it, if He wishes
to do so, but a girl may also be marked on her right
thigh.

- "I
see you like a left-thigh-branded girl,"
said Hassan."

the common place of the
brand is on the middle of the upper thigh on the outside
below the hip(although it may also be on the inside).
kyna was told it was placed there for reasons of
concealment, if such was wished by a Master. it may also
be placed (ouch) on a girl's belly, the side of her neck
and also, even on the left heel. in the following
references, it seems the brand is on the outside.
- "La
Kajira," said Eta, indicating herself. She
drew up the brief garment she wore, turning to
me, exposing her left thigh."

- "I
stood before the table, naked. "Thigh,"
he said. I turned sideways, so that he might see
my left thigh. "Common Kajira mark," he
said, and made an entry on a sheet."

there are also many
different kinds of brands. the most common being the
'kef' or the cursive K standing for kajira and the dina,
a flower-like brand resembling an earth rose.
- "Her
brand, however, was not precisely the same as
mine. It was more slender, more vertical, more
like a stem with floral, cursive loops, about an
inch and half in height, and a half inch in
width; it was, I would later learn, the initial
letter in cursive script of the Gorean expression
'Karjia'; my own brand was the 'dina'; the dina
is a small, lovely, mutiply petaled flower,
short-stemmed, and blooming in the a turf of
green leaves, usually on the slopes of hills, in
the northern temperate zones of Gor; in its
budding, though in few other ways, it resembles a
rose"
- page
61 Slave Girl of Gor
there are also references
to the brand of the four bosk horns, the taharic slave
mark, and also the brand of Treve.
- "With
a heavy glove, Hassan pulled an iron from the
brazier. "What do you think of this
brand?" he asked. It was the Taharic slave
mark. "It is beautiful," I said.
"But let us assure ourselves that this will
be a common slave, one fit to sell north."
"A good idea," said Hassan. He returned
the one iron to the brazier and reached for
another. It glowed red. It was a fine iron, clean
and precise. At it's tip, bright red, was the
common Kajira slave mark of Gor. "
- page
337, Tribesmen of Gor
- "May
I see your brand?" I asked. I was curious.
"Of course," said Ena, and she stood up
and, extending her left leg, drew her long,
lovely white garment to her hip, revealing her
limb. I gasped. Incised deeply, precisely, in
that slim, lovely, now-bared thigh was a
startling mark, beautiful, insolent, dramatically
marking that beautiful thigh as that which it now
could only be, that of a female slave. "It
is beautiful," I whispered. " "Can
you read?" she asked. "No," I
said. She regarded the brand. "It is the
first letter, in crusive script," she said,
"of the name of the city of Treve."

there are also the elusive
Priest King and Kurii Brand (found in Beasts of Gor, but
kyna could not find the references, if you know of them,
please email :)), as well as the penalty brands. penaltry
brands were normally small letters about a quarter of an
inch high. there were penalty brands for lying, stealing
and also to mark on as a traitress, among other things.
elinor was branded with penalty brands in Captive of Gor.
- "Sometimes,
too" she said, "a girl may be branded
as punishment, and to warn others against
her." I looked at her, puzzled.
"Penalty brands," she said. "They
are tiny, but clearly visible. There are various
such brands. There is one for lying and another
for stealing."
- page
277 Captive of Gor
there is even reference to
'collectors' who buy girls solely for the brand she
bears.
"There are, of
course, men who buy for brands. To meet this market
various brands are developed and utilized."
kyna found some
interesting quotes having to do with branding.
- "Yet
the most profound consequences of the brand seem
to be less social than intensely individual,
personal and psychological; the brand, almost
instantaneously, transforms the deepest
consciousness of a girl; I resolved to fight
these feelings, to keep my personhood, even
wearing a brand. I lay confined in bonds. I could
scarcely move. But I suspected, and truly, the
mightiest bond I wore was not the strict,
confining loops on my wrists or belly but the
newly incised brand on my body; later, I
suspected, even if coils of rope and heavy chains
might be heaped upon me, or I should be confined
in cells or kennels, the most complete and
inescapbable shackle placed upon me would
nonetheless be always that delicate, feminine
design, that small, loevely flower, resembling a
rose, burned into the flesh of my upper left
thigh."
- page
60, Slave Girl of Gor
- "The
brand was on Gor legal, institutional status;
that which it marks it makes an object; its
victim has not rights, or appeal, within the
law."
- page
60, Slave Girl of Gor (quote given by Master
_Marcus_ )
- "The
brand is to be distinguished from the collar,
though both are a designation of slavery. The
primary significance of the collar is that it
identifies the master and his city. The collar of
a given girl may be changed countless times, but
the brand continues throughout to bespeak her
status. The brand is normally concealed by the
briefly skirted slave livery of Gor but, of
course, when the camisk is worn, it is always
clearly visible, reminding the girl and others of
her station."
- page
187, Outlaw of Gor
- "Most
simply the brand is supposed to convince the girl
that she is truly owned; it is supposed to make
her feel owned. When the iron is pulled away and
she knows the pain and degradation and smells the
odour of her burned flesh, she is supposed to
tell herself, understanding its full and terrible
import, I AM HIS."

*note* kyna wishes to
thank Master _Marcus_ specifically for His help in kyna's
research of 'brands and branding' and for the quotes He
gave.....this slave thanks you Master :)!

- ~*~Pot
Bosk Roast...or just plain old pot roast~*~
- if you have a real
meat and potatoes kind of Master, He'll love this
recipe and it's easy so you'll like it also :)
this is one of kyna's favorite winter recipes.
- ingredients:
- 1 good size beef
roast, it can be chuck, rump or whatever you
wish, the only type kyna does not suggest is
rack roast.
- 1 packet of
lipton's dry onion soup mix (comes in a box)
- 1 can of cream of
mushroom soup, if you are trying to cut down
on fat and calories you can use reduced fat
soup :)
- 1 small can of
tomato sauce (the baby size, and if you are
worried about sodium, you can get 'no salt
added' tomato sauce)
- 6-10 potatoes
depending on the size of the roast, or if you
just really like taters! peeled and cut into
quarters
- 5 or 6 carrots,
grated and cut into peices
- a pinch of salt
and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon of
cooking oil
- you will need a large
pot with a lid, a dutch oven work nicely. heat
the oil over a low heat(stovetop) in the pot,
then brown the roast on all sides. once it it
browned, cover it with water, add the onion soup
mix, the cream of mushroom soup as well as the
salt and pepper. let the roast cook covered on
low heat, checking to make sure that you do not
need more water for about two hours(longer
depending on the size), when it starts to become
a bit tender, then add your carrots and potatoes
along with the tomatoe sauce, cook until you it
falls apart at the fork for the best tastin'
roast since grandma's. it is a meal in a pot that
sticks to your ribs.
