Reminder: Melbourne Reclaiming Public Samhain Ritual 7/5/11

Posted by: "SunBird" fimariposa@yahoo.com.au   fimariposa

Wed May 4, 2011 11:43 pm (PDT)



Melbourne Reclaiming Public Samhain
Celebration
Saturday 7th May
7:30pm

@ Brunswick North West Primary School Hall
Culloden Street (Cnr Wales St), West Brunswick

Public Transport: Tram 55 (West Coburg), stops near corner of Culloden St and Melville Rd)
Parking available in Culloden and Wales Streets

$5 Entry (to cover hall
hire)
All Adult Pagans Welcome!

Join us for a celebration of Samhain.
At this magical time of year we honour our depths, as the seasons turn and
we journey into the dark time of year.  We also honour our roots and
celebrate our ancestral heritage, acknowledging the gifts of those who
have gone before.

What to bring:
A plate of
ancestor-inspired food to share. Drink to Share. No alcohol, no drugs.
Something
for the Ancestor Altar, e.g. a photo of a beloved ancestor
 
What to
expect:
Darkness is descending in Australia and at this
time of year we gather to honour our beloved dead. We cast the Circle,
ensuring it is secure. The priestess crone reads out names of our beloved
dead* followed by those who also wish to call upon their own beloved
dead.  We will honour our dead together and individually
we will have the opportunity to honour our ancestors at
each of the Elemental altars, under the care of a
priestess/grace. We will then close with a spiral dance
to celebrate those who came before us and those who will come
after us. Later, we will share a supper with all the souls who
gathered.

*If you wish
the crone to read out the names of your beloved dead, please
email their names, a short description/relationship/history/story to astrojazz@bigpond.com.au To
ensure correct pronunciation, please phonetically spell names that may be
difficult. This invitation extends to those who are unable to attend the
ritual.
 
Please Note: As
we will be doing extended trance work in the ritual, it will not be
appropriate for young children to attend.  However, teenagers are
welcome.

The Mabinogion by Lady Charlotte Guest [1877]

The Mabinogion
by Lady Charlotte Guest
[1877]








This is Lady Guests' translation of the Mabinogion. The Mabinogion is a
cycle of Welsh legends collected in the Red Book of Hergest, a manuscript
which is in the library of Oxford University. Mabinogion means 'tales of
youth'; although this appellation only applies to a few of the stories, Lady
Guest appropriated it as the title of this book, and The Mabinogion is now
used as the name of the entire collection. The stories are based on
historical characters and incidents from the dark ages in Wales and environs
embellished with supernatural and folklore elements. Throughout there are
echoes of primordial Celtic mythology and folklore, including the ancient
gods and goddesses.
The first five tales are Welsh versions of incidents from the Arthurian
canon. The Mabinogion per se consists of the four connected narratives
(called 'the branches') from Pwll, Prince of Dyved, through Math, the Son of
Mathonwy. Following these are three additional stories, including the legend
of one of the most famous bards of Wales, Taliesin.
The Mabinogion is one of the masterpieces of world literature, and a
must-read for anyone who wants to have an understanding of Celtic lore.
One minor barrier for some readers may be the spelling of Welsh,
particularly in place names and names of people. In a nutshell, 'w' and 'y'
are vowels, pronounced like 'u' and 'i' respectively. Technically, double 'l
is voiceless; rest assured, 'Ll' at the start of a word is not a typo. So
Pwyll', which on the face of it doesn't appear to have any vowels, can be
thought of as being pronounced approximately like 'poo-eel'.
PRODUCTION NOTES: This version is up to current site standards, and includes
anchored page numbers, linked foot- and end-notes, and so on. This version
includes all of the endnotes which are omitted from previous etexts of this
book, and corrects several errors in the body text. Unicode is used through
this text to display archaic orthography.

A little off-topic but...
Sam Buckingham is a talented singer-song-writer who I see regularly
in Sydney, but she has also recently discovered the wonders of
Adelaide (at the Fringe Festival), and will be venturing further west
to Perth.

If you are local to Adelaide and Perth do yourself a favour and
venture out to see her peerform. Check out her music:
