https://kolektiva.social/@RustyBertrand/113358578038471439 RustyBertrand@kolektiva.social - In 1421 AD, a flood swept through the Netherlands, submerging 72 villages and drowning between 2,000 & 10,000 people.

Survivors saw a piece of wood floating on the water, and a cat was jumping back and forth on it.

People wanted to save it, but they were surprised to find a child sleeping peacefully. The cat was alternately jumping on the edges of the bed to maintain its balance so that the child would not drown.

This story was very famous in the Netherlands, and 4 centuries later the event was immortalized in the painting “The Inundation of The Biesbosch in 1421” by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema.

This story is the origin of the wording “the cat’s in the craddle”.

The baby was named Beatrijs / Beatrix when she was found, which means “the bringer of good luck / joy” but also “the lucky one”

Although nowadays it’s not a commonly known story in majority of The Netherlands anymore, it is known to those who grew up in the Biesbosch area.

A trail of sparks leading from the fireplace to the door is a sign trows had been there. #FolkloreSunday

The #folklore and folk #magic associated with the #Whitethorn.

Part of a series of videos on the sacred trees of Britain and Ireland, their associations in the #Ogham ' #Celtic' #Tree #Alphabet and their symbolism, folklore, #mythology and practical and magical applications in #history and today.

The #May-Tree, or #Hawthorne or Whitethorn is sometimes thought of as the sister tree to the Blackthorn.

It is an ambivalent tree with both positive and negative associations in the Old Ways. A lot of this is to do with the #fairy folk, the good people or the Sídhe.

In the Ogham, it represents the letter #H ( #Huath) and denotes fear and horror.

Other associations include #healing, #fertility, sexuality, #protection, boundaries and #death.

Religious Belief Systems by Continent Region, 2023.

Due to there being no data for just over 900 million people, each figure given for each belief system should be considered as being around 89% accurate. This could, for example, swap the most prevalent religion position between Christianity & Islam, or could further extend Christianity's lead.

Pour la récente sortie de la compilation Magick, Music and Ritual 17 organisée par The Hermetic Library, j’ai réalisé l’adaptation musicale d’un sortilège gallois du 14e siècle. Il s’agit d’une invocation en latin demandant à Gwyn ap Nudd, le roi des fées, le droit d’entrer dans son domaine. Bonne écoute !

For the recent release of the compilation Magick, Music and Ritual 17 organised by The Hermetic Library, I made a musical adaptation of a 14th century Welsh spell. It is an invocation in Latin asking Gwyn ap Nudd, the king of the fairies, for the right to enter his domain. Have a good listen!

Non, le Halloween importé des USA n’est pas une “vieille fête celtique”

Au risque de casser l'ambiance :

Dans les célébrations de Samain, l’Autre Monde, contigu et plus parfait, était censé entrer en contact avec notre monde et suspendre le temps humain ; des messagers et messagères du Sid (l’Autre Monde) venaient y inviter des élus, qui pouvaient y aller et en revenir... “Rien de lugubre” (6) ! Cette représentation du surnaturel n’avait donc aucun rapport avec les fantasmes nécrophiles du cinéma américain qui ont engendré le Halloween actuel, imprégné d’une obsession névrotique de la mort – alors que les mythes celtiques voient celle-ci comme un passage : le milieu d’une vie appelée à continuer glorieusement “ailleurs”.

Imposture commerciale : le Halloween importé des USA n’est pas une “vieille fête celtique”

"Tradition" d'un monde sans traditions, produit bas de gamme de la sous-culture US, le pseudo-Halloween est une absurdité gore imposée...
