#Bonfires are a Samhain tradition that are still part of celebrations on Halloween here in #Ireland to this day.
These bonfires and new #fires were lit for #protection - scaring off the spirits that resided in darkness. They also might have provided some reassurance in a time before electricity, symbolising the light and warmth of the sun that would return after winter.

Feasting
The fruits of the harvest were enjoyed at feasts around these fires, too. Livestock specially selected for the event were roasted, with some burnt on the #fire as offerings to the spirits. And unlike the one-night-only event of Halloween today, Samhain of long ago would have gone on for days and, according to some sources, up to a week! Quite the party!

Samhain - The turning of the year
For our #ancestors, the new day began at #sundown. So Samhain began at twilight, Oíche Shamhna, on October 31st. With the sun's setting, the old year was seen to die, and the long dark of winter that started the new year was heralded in.

Livestock were brought down to winter grazing to keep them safe in the cold months. People retreated indoors, too, believing that the boundary between our world and the Otherworld, the world of the spirits, was at its thinnest point of the year. The dead were believed to cross into the world of the living, and spirits like the #banshee, #púca, and the Aes #Sídh roamed the land at this liminal time.

Parmi les ombres, les bruits des fusils, Se cachent des âmes, des cœurs épris, Chasseurs impitoyables qui n'ont d'yeux, Que pour le trophée, le plaisir odieux.
Mais dans ce monde, ne perdons pas espoir, Il existe des êtres, pleins de savoir, Qui chérissent la vie, qui protègent, Les créatures fragiles, et leurs rêves.
Ces humains au cœur tendre, à l'esprit ouvert, Ecoutent la nature, son chant, son mystère, Ils s'engagent à soigner, à préserver, Un équilibre fragile, à respecter.
Chers amis aux doux yeux brillants,
Sachez qu'il existe des cœurs bienveillants, Des âmes qui luttent pour un monde meilleur, Où l'amour et le respect sont les seuls vainqueurs.

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.

La #CNIL et une des plus #riches familles de #France, les #Mulliez ( Auchan, Décathlon, Leroy Merlin, Boulanger, Kiabi, Electro Dépôt, Norauto, Saint Maclou, Alinea, Flunch, Pimkie, Jules, Bizzbee, Top Office et bien d’autres)...

eWatchers.org : La CNIL a aidé la société #VALIUZ à réaliser un #profilage de masse des #Français, mais refuse de l’assumer

La Commission française [ #Informatique et #Libertés] a accompagné gratuitement une société à agréger les #données des clients de nombreuses enseignes françaises, au détriment des Français qu’elle est censée protéger.

Extraits :

Bref, la CNIL n’a manifestement toujours pas tout dit et ne souhaite pas le faire, puis les quelques documents transmis sont peu exploitables, ce qui est inacceptable. Le #tribunal administratif de Paris a donc été saisi le 11 mars 2024, accompagné par Maître Alexis Fitzjean Ó Cobhthaigh, dont l’expertise dans la #protection des données est respectable et dont les nombreuses interventions pour le compte de l’association militante La Quadrature du Net ont déjà permis d’obtenir des avancées significatives, particulièrement dans la #lutte contre la #surveillance de masse réalisée par l’État français.

Pour conclure, il est peut-être bon de rappeler que la CNIL devrait agir dans l’intérêt général, c’est-à-dire communiquer les documents lorsqu’on lui demande, traiter correctement les plaintes qu’elle reçoit, bannir les profilages de masse de la population française et enfin, s’abstenir d’aider des entreprises réalisant des traitements instrusifs, particulièrement lorsqu’ils bénéficient à un seul et même actionnaire, dont la #fortune est l’une des plus grandes du pays.

#Revati #Nakshatra #constellation is the final stop in the zodiac, right next to the newly included Abhijeet nakshatra. It holds special significance as it’s considered the #birth #star of #Goddess #Laxmi, the deity of prosperity.

This constellation is often referred to as the ‘bringer of light.’ In this context, light symbolizes wisdom, knowledge, spiritual growth, and ultimately, enlightenment. It’s like a guiding star that can lead you from the material world to a metaphysical realm, or simply put, help you find inner enlightenment.

One interesting aspect is that it’s ruled by Mercury, which makes it the last Mercurial constellation. This transition from Mercury’s influence to Jupiter’s wisdom is quite significant. Since all Piscean constellations are ruled by Jupiter, Revathi marks a shift towards acquiring wisdom. It’s also associated with liberation Revati Nakshatra.

If someone has Revati with Ketu in the 11th or 12th house of their birth chart, it’s believed to symbolize liberation from the cycle of birth and death, known as samsara. This is seen as the final incarnation on Earth, indicating spiritual liberation Revati Nakshatra.

The symbol of Revati is a pair of fish, which aligns with Pisces being a water sign. This symbolizes the journey of the human soul in the spiritual realm. Fish also represent fertility and growth, making this Nakshatra a symbol of both endings and new beginnings Revati Nakshatra.

The drum, another symbol of Revati Nakshatra, was historically used by kings and rulers to convey important messages to the masses. In the context of this Nakshatra, it represents communication. People born under Revati often have sociable and pleasing personalities, which can be attributed to this communication symbolism Revati Nakshatra.
