Barding, Part 1 - Inspired Journaling & Native Poetry
a natural inspirational craft

The first of three Nature Folklore sessions on Barding. This is the starting point, as anyone can naturally do this. At the start of every Nature Folklore broadcast I suggest being within your favourite sanctuary space, expressing inspired visions from your sanctuary, through your writing, art, and craft.

We are just past the cross quarter point of Samhain, and have now entered the dark winter space of the annual cycle, within the northern hemisphere. This is a wonderful time to record, usually doodle, our new ideas, inspirations, and visions, that will eventually craft into plans of actions. These we will have ready for launching at Imbolc, the time space of birth of the new Spring early next year

This 'Nature Folklore' session will suggest and encourage settling into spaces of 'sanctuary' and will encourage your ideas to flow. The theme of this afternoon is about tapping into our potentially fluid inspiration channels. We all have this ability, with an added sprinkling of trust, we can translate our ideas and visions into a personal journal.

This personal journal is then valuable content for first drafts of later poems, stories, blogs, writing songs, personal card messages, storytelling, script writing, and screenplays. All of these being great ideas and created resources that encourage us to live a colourful, adventurous, and happy life.

Though some guests are already booked for this Sunday, I invite you to share your experiences of journaling and putting together your poetry and stories. Please message me. You can submit a pre-recorded video, or pre-recorded audio with some photographs, be live with me on Sunday and talk about some photographs, or just be live with me to share your story, poem, and a little conversation. 

Looking forward to you joining us with 'Barding, Part One'.

Next Nature Folklore Sessions Live - Sunday 19th December, at 2pm Irish Time Watch here Live! ... or watch the archive later (click pic to set reminder) Yule Season, part three - Yule Goat & Yule Log Tales for this time of turning darkness into light   Some tales and folklore of the slow burning Yule Log. A local tale of the mating of the Cailleach conceiving the new light to be birthed in Spring. Reverence for the Tree Of Life. The joy of the Green we bring into out homes to remind us of life and the green of Spring will soon be with us. And some lovely guests to share their interpretations of this time. The Yule Goat Folklore Tales and Traditions goes back 100s of years but fragments of them still exist in Scandinavia today, and in Alaska too. I will present quite a short version of the evolving Yule Goat tradition, as I believe this will surprisingly reveal and tie together several loose ends of fragmented Samhain, Yule and Christmas traditions that we

Divination With Water

Next Nature Folklore Sessions Live - Sunday 9th January at 2pm Irish Time Watch here Live! ... or watch the archive later (click pic to set reminder) Divination With Water a focus on hydromancy, and other water divination   Divination seems to be our attempts to gain clearer insight to the pathways created by our questions. A kind of trying to find 'the spoilers' to display where our life's story is going. Some diviners may say this 'craft' is actually our wise mapping out of our story unravelling. We usually use Divination as a tool for problem solving and decision making. It seems to be a popular thing many of us do through January alongside our dieting, operation transformations, habit controlling, getting our second garden seed order in, and assessing our garden and DIY tools.   So through this Nature Folklore session we will explore some stories of water pool divination, oracles and seers, and if we have time widen the subject to incl
