Midsummer Celebrations

Midsummer celebrations in ancient and modern times:

Ancient Celts: Druids, the priestly/professional/diplomatic corps in Celtic countries, celebrated Alban Heruin ("Light of the Shore"). It was midway between the spring Equinox (Alban Eiler; "Light of the Earth") and the fall Equinox (Alban Elfed; "Light of the Water"). "This midsummer festival celebrates the apex of Light, sometimes symbolized in the crowning of the Oak King, God of the waxing year. At his crowning, the Oak King falls to his darker aspect, the Holly King, God of the waning year..." ₁₃The days following Alban Heruin form the waning part of the year because the days become shorter.

Ancient Gaul: The Midsummer celebration was called Feast of Epona, named after a mare goddess who personified fertility, sovereignty and agriculture. She was portrayed as a woman riding a mare.

clipper's remarks: From Celtic Mythology by A. Cotterell:
"The enchanted forest of Arthurian legend was alive with beguiling fairy maidens, who often taunted errant knights. One such, La Belle Dame Sans Merci, was a banshee who attracted mortal lovers for her own amusement. inspiring them with a hopeless infatuation and then leaving them bereft of will of purpose until they withered on the lake, 'alone and palely loitering.' As the languishing knight here sleeps, he dreams of the pale kings and warriors whom La Belle Dame 'holds in thrall'

The masochistic construct of the femme fatale and the vamp between nature and machine

Reacting to the industrial revolution driven by machines, a male-dominated culture conjured up a new image of woman. In an overreaction, women were either naturalised or renaturalised. This led to the myth of the femme fatale, which developed particularly in the period 1860-1910, or (post 1910) it led to the construct of woman as a machine.

Hill of Tara- illegal motorway going ahead

Thu, 13 Mar 2008 18:13:42 GMT

clipped by: tidbit2
clipper's remarks: What spurred me to do this is that | just heard a report on the radio about a young woman called squeek (nickname we all have one)is in an underground tunnel , made as a protest to stop the undergoing of work on the m3 motorway to dublin- the capital city of Ireland which has seen massive growth with immigrant workers and the economic boom (celtic tiger)
There are many people making massive journeys to and from work in dublin
which is probably the main reason for the development
there is a green party minister of the environment who promised to stop the before election who hasn't
The european parliment seem to have deemed it illegal but to no avail
The protestors obviously seem passionate about this major part of the countries heritage
but I don't believe protesting is the only way
I think persuasion of the public
informing the public of the importance of the hill of tara
possibly through literature and/or t.v
making a programme focused on the issue would definitely attract

The wail of the Banshee

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 22:45:28 GMT

clipped by: kkcapricorn
clipper's remarks:

The stories told to me sometimes recounted that the woman, though called a fairy, was a ghost, often of a specific murdered woman, or a woman who died in childbirth would or could become a Banshee if she did not receive a good Catholic burial.

Banshee comes from the Irish words "bean," woman, (ban) and "sidhe," fairy, (shee.) It is said that Banshees come to only those with a strong Celtic lineage

In Irish legend, a banshee wails around a house if someone in the house is about to die. There are particular families who are believed to have Banshees attached to them, and whose cries herald the death of a member of that family.

Traditionally, when a citizen of an Irish village died, a woman would sing a lament at their funeral. These women singers are sometimes referred to as "keeners". Legend has it that, for five great Gaelic families: the O'Gradys, the O'Neills, the O'Briens, the O'Connors, and the Kavanaghs, the lament would be sung by a fairy woman; having foresight, she would appear before the death and keen.

When several banshees appeared at once, it indicated the death of someone great, powerful of respect and station in life or reknowned
