That’s why trees were so important to Celtic culture. It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe all the scientific evidence that points to human-made Climate Change. What is important is stewardship of our planet. We need to take care of it. So in 2020, I want to draw attention to our hurting planet and how we can do just that.

She LOVEs Irish music and dance, and related Celtic traditions.

I WANT YOUR FEEDBACK What are you doing today while listening to the podcast? You can send a written comment along with a picture of what you're doing while listening. Email a voicemail message to celticpodcast@gmail.com Heidi Murphy emailed a photo: "I’m listening to this while editing my book. Lovely Celtic Christmas music! I noticed the other day that you had Round the House on. They're so cool. I've jammed with them before (I play tin whistle and bodhran) and they're delightful. I recently went to the World Highland Games in Tucson, AZ. It was so lovely to watch them toss the caber and hammer. They broke a record in something I don’t know the name of. It’s a 2 stone bail of hay trussed up in canvas they toss with a pitchfork. I’d love to know what that’s called. I was off listening to music and eating haggis and a scone when they announced that name. Here’s a pic of me hiking home from Muckross Abbey after a long day of exploring in the rain. Slainte" Marshall Blosser emailed: "Hey Celtfather, In searching for Newfoundland Celtic artists it dawned on me that you had a 2 hour special on Canadian Celtic music back in 2016. Episode 254 specifically from April 7, 2016. That episode gave me several artists to look up. For me specifically, The Rolling Kings, and The Ennis Sisters. As well as a few others from neighboring provinces. My own on-line research found several other artists although I am not sure how many are still active. Listing the ones I can find on either Amazon or CDBaby first: The Irish Descendants, Celtic Connection, Shanneyganook, The Flummies, and Great Big Sea. I know Great Big Sea isn't an active group any more but it's members, specifically Alan Doyle, Sean McCann and Murray Foster have continued to record music. There is one band I want to get some recordings of but I can't find any information on is Greeley's Reel. They've been playing the local St John's pubs for 10 years. As I visit the pubs I will make sure to try and connect any Irish/Celtic bands I find to your submission page. I am also kicking around the idea of starting a podcast of local artists for Newfoundland to help get them some more exposure. Any advise on how you started would be awesome. Looking forward to sending you many new artists" Tim Sommer in Middleton, ID emailed: "Hi Marc, I love your podcast and wanted to support it and was signing up for the $5 per month contribution and I just briefly saw the window to select that.... when what do you know...I was signed up for the $5 per episode. Couldn’t figure out how to change that number so am asking for your help to change it. Yes, I do think you are worth $5 an episode but if my wife starts seeing the monthly amount for that instead of the $5 per month, she’ll be using her serious face and posture, asking me what I thought I was doing. It could impact my entire Irish and Scottish music habit. It’s like knowing how many beers you can drink at the session before you are in serious trouble."

Today's show is brought to you by Celtic Invasion Vacations If you are listening to this podcast then you probably dream of traveling to one of the Celtic nations. So I have one piece of advice. Do it! I'm not saying you should join me on one of my Celtic Invasion Vacations. I'm not saying you should join another tour group. But travel. Go. Right now. Mark Twain wrote: "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime." Traveling will change your life for the better forever. Stop waiting for the "right moment". Start planning now. If you enjoy my music, then join me on a Celtic Invasion of another Celtic country. In 2016, we're going to Cornwall in search of Celtic culture, King Arthur and the Holy Grail. Will you join us? Subscribe to the mailing list and join the invasion at CelticInvasion.com Notes: Thanks to the Patrons of the Podcast. Your kind and generous support keeps this show running every week.

Fresh Bread: Your Kingdom Come (1-18) - by Raymond McCullough
Episode nineteen in the series: In the middle of the last seven years the beast, Anti-Christ, will put a stop to the temple sacrifices. After subduing three of the ten rulers who gave him his power he will oppress the saints and change the set times and laws. His army will tramp on the holy city (Jerusalem) for 42 months. Two prophets, clothed in sackcloth, will prophesy with great authority in Jerusalem for 1,260 days. Many of the Jewish people will be able to flee into the desert, to a place prepared by God for them. The beast will exercise his authority to blaspheme God and to make war against the saints. “There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations,” for “time, times and half a time.” All refer to the same time period! -------------------- With music from: Nellie Quinn (British Columbia, Canada) – 'Birthday Wishes/Bumps', ( From past to present ); Not About Us (Florida, USA) – 'Have Mercy', (Single); Raymond McCullough (Northern Ireland, UK) – 'You Fill My Life', ( Into Jerusalem ).

Scots/Irish and the restoration of culture and hope among First Nations in Manitoba, Canada (Filmed on location in Manitoba, Canada, and Northern Ireland, in 2005 and 2007, and currently in post production in our Belfast-based Edit Facility) Mistreated and abused In essence, this documentary exposes how we – the Scots/Irish – mistreated and abused the native people of North America and how they, in turn, after many decades of this degradation, found their culture validated by Israeli Jews - of all people! And as we also seek to right the wrongs done in our name, the response has been quite amazing. Today, among Native Americans, the rates of disease, alcoholism and suicide are higher than in many third world countries. Yet only a handful of people on this side of the Atlantic are even aware of the legacy of pain and social deprivation left by those who left these shores. Hidden from history for centuries, this is a story that now demands to be told! Raymond McCullough was editor of Irish magazine, ‘Bread’, for six years and has for many years been involved in reconciliation between Protestant and Roman Catholic in Ireland. However, until the visit of a group of Native Americans to Belfast in 2004 he, like most people here, was completely unaware of any need for reconciliation between ourselves and the First Nations in North America. Not free to practice their own faith A couple of hundred years ago, many Presbyterians, and Roman Catholics, left the shores of Ireland and Scotland because, under English rule, they were not free to practice their own faith. Presbyterians were mockingly referred to as ‘blackmouths’. Their worship services had to be held in secret in the hedges. Roman Catholics, likewise, had to visit a ‘mass rock’ out in the fields. Their priests were hunted, with a bounty on their heads. So, we set sail for the new world – and the promise of freedom of religion! Many of these people became the founders of modern-day Canadian culture. Freedom, that is, for us, the new white settlers, but not, apparently, for the indigenous people of North America. These were people who had already been living there for 4,000 years! We described these First Nations as ‘savages’ and ‘pagans’, their worship as ‘devil worship’ and their culture as ‘backward’ and ‘depraved’. Forced them into ‘Reserves’ We made them all kinds of promises and signed solemn treaties. But we then proceeded to break every one of them! They welcomed us and agreed to share their land. But we stole all of the best land and forced them into ‘Reserves’ on the poorest and remotest parts. To this day only 3% of First Nation people have ever responded to the ‘white man’s religion’. And the people who carried out much of this policy had surnames that could easily be those of your Ulster neighbours! The Mounties rounded up native children, cut off their hair, and placed them in a church-run Residential School system. This was a way of providing a ‘civilizing’ education ‘on the cheap’. But it resulted in widespread indoctrination, abuse, and the deaths of 50,000 children – a 40-50% death rate! To this day, neither the Canadian government, ‘Department of Indian Affairs’, nor the main denominations, have been willing to reveal where the bodies of those children are buried! ‘120 Drums’ came to Belfast In February 2004, Grand Chief Linda Prince came to Belfast with the ‘120 Drums of Thunder’. 80 First Nation Americans performed their native dances and shared their culture. They explained that they had come to bless the Celtic people – we who in the past, had definitely not been a blessing to them! Imagine their surprise, then, that they, perceived at home as ‘dirty, drunken Indians’, should be so enthusiastically welcomed. This happened not only in Ireland, but also in Israel. In 1999, Linda led a group to Israel. In Jerusalem, Orthodox Jews arrived in tears when they heard the Drum Group singing one of their native ‘honour songs’. The Jews explained that the Native Americans were singing in Ancient Hebrew and their song was directed to the God of Israel! The Creator had made a mistake Yet, back home in Canada they had been taught that the Creator had made a mistake in creating them, and that He had sent the churches to correct this mistake – along with beatings and abuse! This is the story of a journey - both literally and in terms of growing understanding - of Raymond ‘s first encounter with these hurting people - in his home town of Bangor, in Belfast and, later, in Manitoba; and of his return with his two daughters to continue that healing process. While in Belfast, members of the Drum Group invited Raymond and his daughter, Kelly, to come and visit them. This they did, arriving in Pukatawagan, a Reserve in northern Manitoba, at the end of May, 2004. Raymond was interviewed on local radio and apologized for the wrong things taught and carried out by our Celtic ancestors. This brought a very positive response from the presenter and from many who heard the broadcast. Since Raymond’s visit significant changes have been taking place in the lives of that community. Exposing the legacy of the Residential School system Commentary is shared with Raymond’s younger daughter, Connaire, (visiting there for the first time). She reports on the historical background to this story, exposing the legacy of the Residential School system and the government’s assimilation policy – the native gangs in Winnipeg, high rates of alcohol abuse and youth suicide – to the background of the 8-hour journey north to ‘Puk’ on the ‘Silver Bullet’. This is the 15 mph (max!) train, which travels the 130 miles from The Pas, through uninhabitable muskeg swamp, to the reserve. Recently Native Americans have decided to reclaim the traditions which have been stolen from them. Mike Spence, a native historian and former gang member, describes the devastating affect the government’s assimilation policy has had on native culture. Louis Daniels, a 71-year-old elder and speaker on native ways, describes a near-death encounter in 2001, and his experience as a Residential School victim. In spite of the abuse he is able to declare, ‘but I have forgiven those people!’ Plans for a First Nations Embassy in Jerusalem! A group of five chiefs of native communities in Manitoba were made extremely welcome in Israel in August 2005. This has culminated in plans now for a First Nations Embassy in Jerusalem! The chief of Pukatawagan talks to Raymond about his own change of heart, the needs of the community and the reasons behind the First Nations strong affinity with Israel. Young people share how significant the restoring of their native culture is to them and how their lives have been affected as a result. A youth worker describes her childhood in Puk during the 70s, (when bullets were flying freely!), the setting up of their first Youth Conference in 2001 and establishment of a Youth Drop-in Centre. Since then the previously high rate of suicide among young men, (previously an average of one per month!), appears to have ceased! We hope to end the documentary with footage from modern-day Quebec, where both the Federal Canadian Government and the Surete de Quebec, (the local police), have been attacking peaceful protesters - protesting the fact that the government have not honoured their written agreeements - attacking them with riot gear, batons, tear gas and pepper spray, and injuring some of the weaker participants. So, unfortunately, our habit of breaking treaties continues to this day! Flute solo, 'From the heart', by Elmer Atlookan - from the Woodland Cree Singers album, '120 Drums - Live in Belfast!'.

Raymond McCullough interviews Irene Bredlow, a Canadian who travels to many nations, but has lived in Israel for the past 30 years, or so. She has spent that time praying - and prayer-walking - for divine encounters in the lives of Jewish and Moslem residents in the Holy Land. Her prayers are simple, but with amazing results, which she relates in this interview. ------------------------ The show includes a selection of rock and Celtic-flavoured music, plus the 4-min NEWS show, Bread NEWS International, from Kingdom Come Trust, (www.kingdomcome.org.uk) Includes music from: Eden Burning (England, UK) - The Reel of Pickering Pick (Smilingly Home) Rodney Cordner & Jean-Pierre Rudolph (Northern Ireland/France) - Music of Healing (Measures and Dreams) Fret Not (California) - All my tears (Hundredfold) Robin Mark (Northern Ireland, UK) - Work a miracle in my heart (Revival in Belfast II) Produced by Precious Oil Productions Ltd, for Kingdom Come Trust.

'Partners in faith', Presbyterian and Roman Catholic congregations working together in Belfast ------------------------ (Archive show from 1993) Dr. William Rutherford (Fitzroy Presbyterian Church, Belfast - since deceased) and Fr. Gerry Reynolds (Clonard Monastery, Belfast), whose two churches have been working together since 1982, discuss the 11 year relationship between their churches. (The interview with author, Roger Mitchell, from England, which we had planned for this slot, has gone irretrievably missing. So, we thought that instead we'd treat you to a wee bit of the original live FM show, from way back in 1993 - when the troubles in Northern Ireland were showing no sign of coming to an end. We've even left in a little sample of the UK Network News from the end of that show, which will give you the authentic flavour of that period - an archive sample of the (originally 1-hour) faith-based radio show from Belfast, Northern Ireland. The original one hour show was produced in 1993, but outdated/irrelevant material has been removed to leave original interview and music - apart from a little bit of UK Network News from June 1993. (Fr. Gerry Reynolds died in November 2015) ------------------------- Produced and presented by Raymond McCullough, with music from: The Electrics, (Scotland, UK) - '2,000 years', () Enya, (Ireland) - 'How can I keep from singing?' (Shepherd Moons) Phil and John, (England, UK) - 'Redemption Song', (Carnival of Clowns) Rodney Cordner and Jean-Pierre Rudolph, (N. Ireland & France) - 'Gift', (Measures & Dreams)
