Samhain 2008
Nov 1st, 2008 by celticshaman
A happy and blessed Samhain season to each and every one. This is the time of year when the days grow short. The nights grow long and the moon hangs large and pale in the night. The year of the little sun has come and we gather round the fire to hear tales told from long ago. Our podcaster, Dillon Carlyon, has just a such a tale for us this Samhain. “Leam O’Rooney’s Burial”, comes from the book “From Beside the Fire”, by Douglas Hyde. This is book of traditional folk tales published in 1910. You may find the story at http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/celt/btf/btf09.htm. Before the tale begins we hear the song “Kiss from God” (unreleased) by the group Monastic. You may find more music from Monastic at http://www.myspace.com/themonastic. “Distant Dreamland” from Minstrel Spirit, follows this Samhain tale. The song is from the album “Enter the Woods”, (2005). Find more from Minstrel Spirit at http://www.magnatune.com or http://www.mondocruiser.net/minstrelspirit/index.htm.
