Yule Season, part two - Reindeer Folklore
exploring the bardic tales of the deer
 
I will include tales from Bard Osín, as a young fawn, born from deer mother Sadhbh, and mingled with the sidhe, the fairies. Also Elen Of The Ways and that story includes telling of the origin of what we now call 'ley lines'. I will also talk of the challenge of wildland vs farmland, and that story goes back to ancient Babylonians.

A Nature Folklore session to share remarkable ancient stories ripe for a winter December. Ancient myth stories that are also of now, the decisions we are making, the preparation of affirmations, and the blessings we share and become joyful for over the Midwinter, Yule, and Christmas season. 

Please share your thoughts, poems, and stories, of deer folklore through December. Message me, through the Contact link.

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

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
