Samhain 2009
Posted in Uncategorized on Nov 2nd, 2009 No Comments »
A blessed and happy Samhain season to all our listeners. Samhain, more than any other of the sacred seasons, turns us towards our ancestors, requiring us to remember them and their ways. We can never completely enter into the minds and minds of those who lived before us, but we may, perhaps, enter into their hearts through the words and music they traditioned to us.
Dillon Carlyon begins this Samhain podcast reading the Song of Amergin from the Book of the Invasions of Ireland or Lebor Gabála Érenn, which you may find at that amazing Celtic resource, www.maryjones.us.
The Cathedral Set - Lo Yisa Goi:Kol HaN’shamah:Ablakomba from artist Diana Rowan follows. This song is from her album Panta Rhei - Celtic and Mediterranean Music for Harp. You may find Diana Rowan’s albums at http://magnatune.com/artists/rowan
Tira Brandon-Evans and Dillon read together the Hunting Blessing from the Carmina Gadelica. http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/celt/cg1/cg1124.htm
Rhonda Lorence’s song Trail of Tears from the album Movements in the Moment (http://magnatune.com/artists/rhonda_lorence) concludes our podcast.
Dillon and I thank these artists for allowing us to feature their work.
