  • Light and Dark
    Light and dark The Mortal Realm is lit by two celestial bodies, the sun by day and the moon by night, but the same is not true of all realms. Some have neither and exist in total darkness, but most have some form of illumination. In the folklore of the Tuatha there are two kinds of Folk, those who walk in the daylight, the Seelie, and those who haunt the darkness, the Unseelie. To them the Seelie are kindly and helpful whilst the Unseelie are malicious and treacherous. This is a false distinction which was spread by the Fae during their rise in the mortal world. In truth, there is no moral distinction between diurnal and nocturnal Folk it is simply a matter of comfort. Some prefer gentle starlight, some like the heat of the day in midsummer, some need the cold to regulate their body temperature or are unable to tolerate sunlight on their skin. The terms Seelie and Unseelie really refer to their attitude towards the Fae. Those Folk who were happy, or at least not rebellious in their servitude to the Fae were extolled as ‘good’ or Seelie. Those who sought to break free from their slavery or turned against their masters were demonised as Unseelie. Folk branded Unseelie were often hunted down and made examples of, so they frequently took to venturing out of hiding only at night. The Fae are mostly daylight Folk although the stars are important to their dances. Certainly the Fae would not go abroad on pitch black, starless nights and so the renegade Folk would be safe to travel abroad under the cloak of night.

  • The Peat-Fire Flame : Folk-Tales and Traditions of the Highlands & Islands
    I ItlACGReGOR 0/^. 317 THIS is a comprehensive collection of the best folk-tales of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. Many of these tales have been collected orally by the author and appear now in print for the first time. In the outlying parts of the Hebrides where only Gaelic is spoken by the older inhabitants these tales could only be collected by one who is familiar with the language, and the Author is well qualified for the task he has under- taken. He has been a collector all his life and. Highland born, familiar with Gaelic since he could speak. With the passing years the sources for oral col- lection of these old tales are becoming fewer and less accessible and as there has been a growing interest in Celtic literature and Celtic music in recent years the time would seem ripe for a new one-volume collection of folk-tales. The book is illustrated with reproduc- tions from the Author^s own photographs. THE PEAT-FIRE FLAME ! By the Same Author: SOMEWHERE IN SCOTLAND. THE HAUNTED ISLES.

    CAPTURED BY FAIRIES : FOLK TALES OF KIDNAPPINGS PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Michelle McLaughlin | 48 pages | 13 Aug 2013 | Createspace Independent Publishing Platform | 9781492154037 | English | none Captured by Fairies : Folk Tales of Kidnappings PDF Book The best way to get an answer to that question is to ask the old people very gently and politely about the magic places. Refresh and try again. Depending on the writers, the pooka was either benevolent or malevolent fairy. Her narrative of the eleven weeks spent with the Indians is threaded effortlessly with quotations and exhortations from the Bible, the one book she cared about. To understand what they are, we should look at some of those found in Celtic mythology and other Celtic traditions. While in the Welsh traditions there are: the ellyllon , or the elves; the coblynau , or the mine fairies; the bwbachod , or the household fairies; the gwragedd annwn , or the fairies of the lakes and streams; the gwyllion , or the mountain fairies. Catch hold of my bridle rein, hold it fast, and I shall be free. It is worst when a young wife is lost though death, or apparent death, in childbirth. When he came to his house, however, he saw with amazement that the roof was off, the walls decayed and crumbling into ruins, and the floor grown over with rank grass. Probably the most meta book on our list, The Hazel Wood is a fairy tale about fairy tales. Set in a medieval village that is haunted by a werewolf, a young girl falls for an orphaned woodcutter, much to her family's displeasure.

  • Storytelling in the Celtic Tradition: Introduction
    Storytelling in the Celtic Tradition Storytelling in the Celtic Tradition: Introduction There have always been storytellers, because people enjoy stories. This is true of all races and periods of history. We know that Celtic people lived from around 600 BCE to 400 CE and their tribes were to be found spread out over great tracts of Northern Europe. Their livelihoods depended so much upon nature for the success of their hunting, fishing, farming, herding, building, and crafting. It is hard for us living our 21st century lives to truly appreciate how bonded their tribal societies were to the land, seas and animals around them. The ancient Celts were a pre-literate people: they did not keep written records, write books or leave notes on events or their beliefs. As such, storytellers and others gifted with the spoken word were vital to society. They memorised the stories of their ancestors and created new ones: creation myths, epic tales of supernatural heroes, and stories of pagan gods and goddesses, shape-changers and magical animals. First composed in Ireland, possibly as early as 300 BC, the Celtic stories were passed from generation to generation in the oral, druidic tradition until the 5th century AD, by which time the druidic priesthood had largely decayed. Bards and wandering minstrels picked up the stories, taking creative license in much the same way that Homer and others are thought to have done with the cycle of stories that eventually became the Iliad and the Odyssey. Archaeology and texts tell us that the Celts focused their spiritual beliefs and holy practices on environmental forces, the land, and the creatures they lived amongst.
