Bride: Light of Imbolc
Feb 1st, 2009 by celticshaman
Brighid of the Mantles, your mantle over me. Brighid of the Fair White Hands, your hand in mine.
Our Imbolc podcast begins with the Devil in the Kitchen Set from Crepuscule and found on their album Shades of Music. ( http://www.Crepuscule.ca)
This is followed by Dillon Carlyon’s reading from A Book of Saints and Wonders by Lady Gregory [1906] Book One: Brigit, The Mary of the Gael found at Sacred Texts. (http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/celt/saw/saw01.htm)
Next from the album Sixth and Porter by the The Kreellers we have The Night Visit. (http://www.Kreellers.com)
Tira Brandon-Evans comments on traditions connected with Bride and Imbolc and reads from notes and invocations from the Carmina Gadelica. Smooring the Fire ( http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/celt/cg1/cg1092.htm), Guarding the Flocks, ( http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/celt/cg1/cg1113.htm), The Spell of the Fox, (http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/celt/cg2/cg2067.htm). Dillon alternates with Tira reading the invocations in Gaelic and English.
The invocations are followed by Epping Forest, a song from the album A Light in the Forest by Anne Roos. (http://www.celticharpmusic.com)
