#Samhain avis

[lesmadj]

 « Samhain » de Kate Dolan - La chronique sabbat…ique !

Envoûtant et subtil, #Samhain vous prend aux tripes de sa langueur hypnotique qui ne manque pas de charmes et confère au film un parfum vénéneux de reviens-y.  On frissonne parfois, on s’inquiète beaucoup et surtout on tente de se rassurer comme on peut.

I added noise to mask some of the artifacts I was getting, but thanks to @warmsol, I tried ezgif and then brought the gif into photoshop to edit it further. It's a bit tedious, but definitely works!!

Night ritual

Witchcraft has not a pedigree, ‘Tis early as our breath, And mourners meet it going out The moment of our death.

I carry the mark of death, bestowed upon my soul for generations. I carry the restless spirits of the ones you sent to the gallows, our innocent children of nature, our mothers, our sisters. They were the lonely, the strong, the different, the outcasts. But we will never die, and our…

[COME ONORARE I TRAPASSATI IN QUESTI GIORNI?] In Veneto, le cose che impari sin da piccolo sono queste: 🕯️🌼 Il 28 Ottobre si accende la prima candela e si mette un fiore bianco per accogliere le anime dei morti. 🕯️🥛Il 29 Ottobre si accende un'altra candela e si mette un bicchier d'acqua per i morti abbandonati o dimenticati. 🕯️🥛🍞🍎Il 30 Ottobre si accende un'altra candela, si aggiungono un bicchiere d'acqua, un pane bianco e un frutto per i nostri avi. 🧆 Il 1 Novembre, giorno di tutti i santi, arrivano le anime di quelli che sono morti da piccoli. In questa giornata si mette tutto il pasto sull'altare. ✨ Il 2 Novembre arrivano tutte le anime dei morti adulti che mangeranno tutte le offerte dei familiari. 🕯️Il 3 Novembre si accende l'ultima candela bianca e ci si congeda dai trapassati. ❇️ Conoscevi queste usanze? ❇️ Ne hai di simili nella tua regione, paese o famiglia? #ognissanti #samhain #spiritualità #antenati #spiritismo (presso Italia, Venezia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVhorrRqFxH/?utm_medium=tumblr

"TRINOX SAMONI" 150x200cm mixed media on canvas 2017 - @galerie_slika Lyon. Le tre notti di #Samonios, festività celtica, festeggiata anche dai nostri avi cisalpini di cui abbiamo notizie attraverso il #calendariodicoligny che equivale ai nostri giorni dei Santi e dei Morti, in cui le barriere tra il mondo dei vivi e quello dei morti e degli spiriti si riaprono. Oggi conosciuta anche come #halloween (che semplicemente vuol dire Notte dei Santi in Scozzese) la festa di #Ognissanti venne istituita nel 840 d.c. da Papa Gregorio IV per cristianizzare la ricorrenza pagana comune alla gran parte dei popoli dell'Europa pre-cristiana. In queste sere i nostri avi e i nostri cari estinti sono più vicini ed è giusto ricordarli come meglio crediamo. /// #druidismo #druidry #celti #colignycalendar #동시대미술 #contemporanea #アート #抽象芸術 #艺术, 抽象 #contemporary #現代美術, 当代艺术 #современное #искусство #zeitgenössische #Kunst #sztuka #współczesna #suvremena #umjetnost #trinoxsamoni #samhain (presso Galerie SLIKA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHAd1Qhn8sv/?igshid=jyx6j5ebcju7

Il sabba di Halloween: Samhain fra rituali e tradizioni I popoli antichi avevano l’usanza di celebrare ogni passaggio stagionale attraverso una serie di rituali magici per ringraziare la Grande Dea. Nella notte tra il 31 ottobre e il 1 novembre, le popolazioni celtiche salutavano la fine dell’estate con il Samhain: il termine deriva dalla lingua gaelica Sam Fuinn (ossia fine dell’estate). Samhain segnava l’ultimo raccolto e l’inizio dell’inverno, il passaggio dalla luce al buio; una sorta di capodanno. Secondo queste antiche credenze, durante il Samhain la linea che separa il mondo dei vivi da quello dei morti diventa più labile, concedendo di stabilire un rapporto con il mondo degli spiriti. Le popolazioni celtiche sapevano che nella notte del Samhain gli avi percorrevano questa terra, portando con sé buoni auspici e protezione. Per questo motivo, ancora oggi a Samhain si pratica l’arte della divinazione. In questa notte si rende omaggio ai defunti, celebrando divinità legate al culto dei morti. Il Samhain prevede un rituale ben definito: i focolai vengono puliti ed ogni fuoco viene spento per essere riacceso il giorno successivo. Si banchetta con vino, birra e idromele per tutta la durata della festa, con l’alternanza di riti e narrazioni. Secondo il racconto celtico The Wasting Sickness of Cuchulainn, la festa del Samhain aveva la durata di sette giorni (tre antecedenti e tre successivi alla notte). Per il rituale si prepara un altare sul quale vengono posti i frutti dell’autunno, candele (nere e bianche) e un oggetto a forma di disco che richiami la Ruota dell’Anno. Con la mente rivolta ai cari defunti e la consapevolezza che la fine della vita segna solo l’inizio di un nuovo ciclo, si può iniziare il rituale dichiarando le intenzioni, attraverso specifiche formule, e invocando le divinità, si perfora la melagrana, un frutto particolarmente simbolico. Dopo aver acceso un fuoco (o candela) si brucia il pezzo di carta su cui precedentemente si è indicato un aspetto della vita del ci si vuole liberare. Seguono altre formule e il rilascio del cerchio. Samhain significa ritirarsi in se stessi, creare un rapporto con il mondo https://www.instagram.com/p/B4S-GpyJJe1/?igshid=13p2u3uid2qu0

- Ostara ( ou alban eilir. Eoster) - equinoxe de printemps ( fêtes d'ostara la deesse du renouveau accompagnee du lievre) - paques et ses lapins en chocolat des confiseurs...

- Beltaine - fêtes de la vierge, mais aussi l'ascension et la pentecote donc le 1er mai... Aussi appeler nuit de Walpurgis
