Podcasts about midsummer festival

Midsummer Festival has come to the small town of Thorpe, bringing travelers, revellers, and merrymakers from all over the land. Yet tragedy strikes, as a couple of children have disappeared into the nearby woods of the Arden Hills. The townsfolk fear them captured by goblins or worse, and presume them lost forever. Yet a small band of brave souls offer to track the girls and return them. We begin Champions of the Goblin Market, a Dungeon Crawl Classics adventure.   Starring  Jeff Schroeder Lucas   Want to leave a comment? -Email therancorsbrothel@gmail.com.  -Follow us on Twitter @Rancors_Brothel -Follow us on Instagram @rancorsbrothel

Our heroes set out to complete their remaining tasks before the Midsummer Festival! Or they could go explore a cave for some reason.

In this episode, I talk with Cathy Walsh, a freelance artist or better described as choreographer and performer. She is originally from Cork but now is based in Berlin where she performs, and works on her art.During our conversation, we talk about how Cathy got into theatre and dance growing up. She attended a degree in Theatre in UCC and during University really found her passion was for dance. We dig into how this arose, and the components involved in creating a piece of work.Cathy talks about learnings that she’s taken from many of her experiences during her career so far including Dancing at the Wexford Opera festival, working at the Daghdha Dance School in Limerick for over a year, and we go into details about the Ponderosa movement and discovery organization which Cathy is currently very closely linked to in Berlin.As always in the podcast, I look to find out what success means to my guest, what values, goals and inspirations drive Cathy, what advice she can share from her journey so far and talk about key moments where things changed or turning points that stand out over the last number of years. We discuss the benefits of feedback on her performance, how she constructs a piece of work, challenges with deadlines, facing fear, the role Virtual Reality could play in the future and lots lots more! We also talk about a piece that Cathy is currently working on and performing that focuses on the concept of Time.This is a world that I’m not well versed in and was coming to this with a beginners mind so my questioning was basic but hopefully helped bring out some interesting points that you can relate to while listening.Cathy is going to be back in Cork as she’s involved in the Midsummer Festival taking place in Cork in June. She is taking part in the Body Activities conference. She is conducting a workshop on the 19th June at 9:30am.

Midsummer Festival

 Midsummer 2008 with a story from William Russeth Always great to hear from you! Email garyandruth@celticmythpodshow.com, or call us using Speakpipe More resources over at our main Website at http://celticmythpodshow.com Show Summary: We celebrate the Midsummer Festival with a massive offering of goodies. The second half contains an amazing poem called The Shadow House of Lugh, a story from The Fire of Belenus by William Russeth and some music. Running Order: Intro 0:40 News & Views 1:37 The Shadow House of Lugh by Ethna Carberry 2:50 The Fires of Belenus by William Russeth 6:07 Tuttle Caislean an Oir by Cady Finlayson 33:03 Listener Feedback 36:01 Outtakes 39:34 We hope you enjoy it! Gary & Ruthie x x x     News & Views We talk about Stonehenge's new visitor centre and the Cerne Abbas giant's new haircut!   The Shadow House of Lugh by Ethna Carberry This poem is a translation of an 8th Century Irish verse. It was translated by Ethna Carberry and published in Padraic Colum's (1881–1972) Anthology of Irish Verse, 1922. Lugh is the Celtic divinity whose name is most widely known. In mythology he is the Sun God. In the mythological cycle he is the deliverer of the De Danaans from the Fomorian oppression. He is the slayer of Balor, the glance of whose eye is death. But Lugh is also kin to Balor, his mother being Eithlinn, the daughter whom Balor had immured like Danae in a tower. There are actually another two verses to this poem, but the version we found and recorded didn't have them. So here are the extra two verses for your pleasure. This version can be found at Bartleby's.  He plays for her soothing the Slumber-song: Fine and faint as any dream it glides along: She sleeps until the magic of his kiss shall rouse;     And all her world is quiet in the Shadow-house. His days glide to night, and his nights glide to day: With circling of the amber mead, and feasting gay; In the yellow of her hair his dreams lie curled, And her arms make the rim of his rainbow world.   The Fires of Belenus by William Russeth A thousand years before the Romans, Celtic people cultivated the Rhone Valley. Celtic languages were spoken from Asia Minor to Spain and from Northern Italy to Ireland. By the third century BC, their culture had evolved into a complex civilization with sophisticated social structures, laws, and folklore that are the roots of modern European culture. But the Celtic world was a violent world, controlled by mystical Druids and warrior chieftains, ready to take the heads of their rivals over the most trifling insult. Fires of Belenus is a romantic tale, that tantalizes readers with rational portrayals of mythical events found in the CuChulainn and Arthurian legends. Written by William Russeth, the chapter we read is exciting and contains wonderful symbology. Many, many thanks to William for allowing us to present Chapter Thirty-Six. The Sword in the Stone, Lady of Lake, and CuChulainn's stand at the river ford are brought to life in plausible new ways that make the work unique. It is a tale of Historical Fantasy, made believable by accurately portraying ancient Celtic culture. Available from Wings Press and Amazon. Find out more about William in our Contributor pages.   Tuttle Caislean an Oir by Cady Finlayson Called “one of America’s top Celtic fiddlers” by New Age Voice magazine and “bursting with pure and natural talent” by HotIndieNews.com, Cady Finlayson offers a spirited fiddle show with a global twist. Cady’s music blends traditional Irish tunes with worldbeat rhythms and American folk, creating a signature sound that appeals to a variety of audiences. “I love to bring Irish music to people who might not normally hear it,” she says. "I was in Limerick, Ireland in 2003, where I had the chance to meet some of the great Irish fiddle players. What impressed me the most was how individual each person's style was, and how "tradition" meant different things to different people."   Listener Feedback Cory, Ancestral Celt We talk about the dates of Midsummer and an answer from Ancestral Celt.

Music, stories, and facts for Midsummer 2008 Always great to hear from you! Email garyandruth@celticmythpodshow.com, or call us using Speakpipe More resources over at our main Website at http://celticmythpodshow.com Show Summary: We celebrate the Midsummer Festival with a massive offering of goodies. So we've divided the episode into two parts. The first part contains a reading from The Religion of the Ancient Celts, another from a modern book called Fairy Healing, some music, and a story by Willie Meikle called The First Silkie. Running Order: Intro 0:40 News & Views 1:32 The Religion of the Ancient Celts by J.A. MacCulloch 7:08 Fairy Healing by Margie McArthur 10:01 Shimmering Wings by Gaelic Wind Project 15:02 The First Silkie by Willie Meikle 21:27 The Ladychant 31:15 The Summer Solstice 34:01 Outtakes 35:34 We hope you enjoy it! Gary & Ruthie x x x     News & Views We talk about Midsummer being celebrated on the 20th, 21st or 22nd of June. Midsummer is traditionally a time for fairies - although it is dangerous to visit the fairy world at this time! We talk about the Solstice and time that the sun appears to wobble in its 'apparent' orbit around the earth.    The Religion of the Ancient Celts by J. A. MacCulloch We select a passage concerning the Midsummer rituals from the Religions of the Ancient Celts by J. A. MacCulloch. This book, which appears for the first time on the Internet at Sacred Texts, is one of the earliest scholarly treatments of the ancient Celtic religion. Written early in the 20th Century, Religion of the Ancient Celts includes extensive treatment of that perennially fascinating subject, the Druids. MacCulloch details the Celtic belief in reincarnation and a spectral otherworld; documents the enormous pantheon of now-obscure gods and goddesses, including many local deities; and describes totemistic and animistic beliefs. In addition, MacCulloch does not flinch (nor sensationalize) when describing the darker side of Celtic practices, including the famous 'Burning Man' human sacrifices, cannibalism and exogamous incest.   Fairy Healing: the Lore and Legacy by Margie McArthur We then present a small section of a modern book about Fairy Healing: The Lore and Legacy written by Margie McArthur. The section we read is from Chapter 5: The Irish Traditions and tells us about the Fairy Doctor. Thank you to Margie for allowing us to read this for you. She has her home on the web at Brigid's Hearth where you can find out about this and her other books. She also runs a fairy healing website. Find out more about Margie McArthur in our Contributor pages.    Shimmering Wings by Gaelic Wind Project They hail from Essen, Germany. Yet the repertoire of Gaelic Wind Project consists of Irish traditional songs and tunes, but they also perform their own material. This Irish folk band consists of two female lead vocalists who are accompanied by Irish wooden flute, accordion, guitar, Irish bouzouki and percussion. Gaelic Wind Project is a nice addition to any Celtic music collection. "Our new song Shimmering Wings is inspired by Juliet Marillier´s novel Daughter of the Forest. Here you´ll find more information about the author and her books." You can find the Gaelic Wind Project on the web at their homesite (now sadly gone). You can also find them on CD Baby.   The First Silkie by Willie Meikle Willie Meikle is a Scottish Author who writes Fantasy and Horror Fiction and has eight books published. Many of his stories and books are set in Scotland and are weaved with Mythology and folklore. Willie has had 130 stories published in the genre press, both in paper and on-line magazines and his work has appeared in the UK, Ireland, the USA, India, Greece, Romania and Canada. He has graciously allowed us to present an except from his novel, The Midnight Eye Files: The Sirens and concerns the origins of the Silkie – a fey creature able to shift from seal to human form. The tale tells us of the origin of the Silkie which concerns Viking Gods, Bold Fishermen and a wager between Gods and Men. You can find out more about Willie and his work at his website or you can read more details about this fantastic author in our Contributor pages.   The Ladychant by Gary, Ruthie & friends With thanks to three young friends of ours, we present our very unprofessional (but fun!) version of the Chant of the Lady. A big Thank You to Stacey, Tania and Jessica. You can download this chant from us by clicking Ladychant. Lyrics Lady, spin your Circle bright, Weave your web of dark and light. Earth, Air, Fire and Water, Bind us as one. Maiden, spin your Circle white, Weave a web of shinning light. Stag and Hawk, Bear and Wolf, Bind us as one. Mother, spin your Circle red, Weave a web of glowing thread. Earth, Air, Fire and Water, Bind us as one. Wise one, spin your Circle black, Weave the wisdom that we lack. Moonlight, Sunlight, Starlight, Shimmer, Bind us as one. Lady, spin your Circle bright, Weave your web of dark and light. Earth, Air, Fire and Water, Bind us as one.   Winter Solstice 'Down Under' We talk about the Summer Solstice in the Southern Hemisphere.   Get EXTRA content in the Celtic Myth Podshow App for iOS, Android & Windows Contact Us: You can leave us a message by using the Speakpipe Email us at: garyandruth@celticmythpodshow.com.
