My own mix of music to get me into the spirit of renfaire. Play in order or shuffled to hear sea shanties, celtic music, and anything else that fits the vibe.
I'm open to any suggestions, and if I like them, they'll be added in.
I'll be listening to this playlist while I'm on my way to the MD Renaissance Festival!

Okay, a day late with the photos from the Scottish Fest, but here they are. It was indeed a fest, with drink and food a plenty. Plus bagpipes, dancers, music and many vendors selling swords and other Celtic items. It ends this Sunday, but check to see if there's one in your area. If so, then go. No, stop reading this and go. You'll be glad you did.

Weekend Coffee Share, Favorite Places
Welcome to my Weekend Coffee Share, hosted by Natalie the Explorer. It’s a gray, rainy day, but I’m still having a chilled chai latte, as I’ll be on the go. Our weather is in the sixties, and the clouds are rolling. It’s fun to watch. This last week was my Spring Break. Of course, Chris and I attended the St. Augustine Celtic Fest. I’m only a tad Scottish, with a lot of other things, but…

I love crane wives.
me searching spotify’s folk playlists for artists like the oh hellos and the arcadian wilds only to hit shuffle and get TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT is my villain origin story
#I think the problem is. the kind of music I’m looking for is not gonna be on charts#it’s not what Spotify registers as popular and therefore a likely option#I want music that simulates that feel I get when I go to a folk festival by the river in late summer#played on a small stage by a band no one’s ever heard of#in between artist stands of handmade pottery and woodwork#I want banjo. I want fiddle. I want to barely be able to hear them over the cicadas in the trees but I want to feel the hum of it anyway#I need folk music in the tradition of like. bluegrass and Celtic music. dramatic. lively. emotional#something you can snap your fingers too#I DONT want bland low tempo love songs#carefully produced with smooth and boring vocals#I want the voice crack from passion of singing! I want the violin strings to squeak! I want to hear somebody WHOOP in the middle!#goddamn I want music that is RAW and just goes inside you I don’t want to feel very blandly depressed!!!!!!#anyway this is. also a plea for recommendations#we’re talking crane wives. fish in a birdcage. amazing devil. cosmo sheldrake#actually no the real problem here is most of this music I love is only available as cds handed out at these folk fests

Imbolc Altar Ideas & Correspondences
Imbolc, also known as Candlemas or Brigid's Day, marks the halfway point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. It's a time to celebrate the returning light and the awakening of the Earth.
Altar Decorations:
Candles: Imbolc is strongly associated with the element of fire. Decorate your altar with candles in shades of white, yellow, and light blue to represent the increasing daylight.
Brigid's Cross: Craft or purchase a Brigid's Cross, a traditional symbol associated with the Celtic goddess Brigid. Hang it on your altar as a protective charm.
Seasonal Flowers: Place early spring flowers like snowdrops, crocuses, and daffodils on your altar. These symbolize the first signs of life returning to the land.
Herbs: Incorporate herbs such as rosemary, thyme, and cinnamon for their purifying and invigorating properties. Bundle them together with a red or white ribbon.
Seeds: Represent the potential for growth by adding a dish of seeds to your altar. Consider seeds associated with early spring crops like wheat or herbs.
Imbolc Symbols: Include symbols like lambs, ewes, and the sun to capture the essence of this seasonal transition.
Candle Holders: Choose unique candle holders or lanterns to enhance the ambiance. Consider using candle holders in the shape of suns, stars, or nature-inspired designs.
Divination Tools: Add divination tools like tarot cards or runes to your altar for seeking guidance during this transitional period.
Symbolic Stones: Integrate crystals such as citrine for abundance, aquamarine for clarity, and moonstone for intuition. Arrange them aesthetically around your altar.
Feathers: Symbolizing air and spirituality, feathers can be incorporated to invoke the energy of the season. Choose feathers from birds associated with the goddess Brigid, like swans or owls.
Artwork: Display artwork or illustrations that resonate with the themes of Imbolc. This could include depictions of Brigid, snow-covered landscapes, or symbols of growth and renewal.
Imbolc Incense: Craft or purchase incense blends with scents like frankincense, myrrh, and chamomile to fill your sacred space with a soothing and purifying aroma.
Correspondences
Goddess Brigid: Imbolc is sacred to Brigid, the Celtic goddess of hearth, home, and inspiration. Invoke her energy for healing, creativity, and protection.
Colors: White, yellow, light green, and light blue are associated with Imbolc. Use these colors in candles, altar cloths, and decorations to align with the festival's energy.
Stones: Crystals such as amethyst, garnet, and clear quartz resonate with Imbolc's energies.
Foods: Dairy products, especially cheese, and foods made with seeds like bread or muffins are fitting for Imbolc. Set offerings on your altar or incorporate them into your celebration feast.
Water: Imbolc is also associated with the element of water. Include a small bowl of water on your altar to symbolize purification.
Creativity Symbols: Imbolc is a time for inspiration and creative endeavors. Include symbols of your creative pursuits, such as a paintbrush, musical instrument, or writing quill.
Anointing Oils: Create or purchase anointing oils infused with herbs like lavender, rosemary, and frankincense. Use them to anoint candles, tools, or yourself during Imbolc rituals.
Animal Representations: Incorporate figurines or images of animals associated with Brigid, such as lambs, cows, or swans, to honor her connection to the animal kingdom.
Wheat or Corn Dolls: Craft small dolls from wheat or corn husks, symbolizing the harvest to come. Place them on your altar as a representation of the Earth's fertility.
Bell or Chimes: Hang a bell or wind chimes near your altar to symbolize the awakening of nature and the stirring of life. Ring it during your Imbolc rituals to mark significant moments.
Decorative Cloth: Choose an altar cloth with intricate patterns or symbols related to Imbolc, such as suns, wheels, or Brigid's crosses, to add a touch of magic to your sacred space.
May you find warmth in the returning light. <3

PSA for new Pagans❗️🚩🚩🚩
(Overlooked pagan holidays)
Paganism isn't a singular religion,
it is an umbrella term for thousands of different pre-christian polytheistic faiths that span Antiquity. Heathenry (Norse polytheism) Mesopotamian, Phonecian, Hellenic Polytheism, Kemeticism/Netjerism, Slavic Polytheism, Celtic, Roman, Basque, etc. It goes on and on. Sometimes, these religions are even combined or synchronized, like Greco-Egyptian polytheism.
So, no, not all pagans celebrate Yule, or Beltane, or whatever.
Yule itself seems to be more of a Wiccan (new age) revival than a continued tradition.
There are quite literally thousands of holidays and traditions celebrated that no one talks about because people, especially newer converts, seem to believe paganism is its own singular religion.
So, here are some of my favorite holidays I celebrate that aren't usually talked about:
The Anthesteria:
A 3 day drunken celebration in honor of Dionysus and the Dead. Houses would be decorated with spring flowers, ghosts swept from the home; feasting and drinking no matter your status, and offerings given to the Dead and the Furies so that may not harm you, as they were said to roam the earth at this time.
Tar/pitch was also spread onto doorframes and black hellebore was hung to protect the home.
It was held each year from the 11th to the 13th of the month of Anthesterion, around the time of the first full moon of the year.
The Haloea:
The closest Greek equivalent of "Yule" celebrating the winter solstice and which honored Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, crops, fertility, and harvest.
During the festival, people would celebrate by preparing a rich meal with dough cakes in the shape of genitalia, telling lusty jokes and swearing with vulgarity, singing, drinking, and dancing.
The festival took place in Athens and ended in Eleusis during the month of Poseideon, which is December.
The Dionysia:
where plays originated! Comedy, tragedy, and drama.
The Festival of Dionysus, otherwise known as the “Greater Dionysia” took place in the spring (around our March) when playwrights would compete to entertain Athenian citizens,
complete with parades of giant phalluses and sacrifices of bulls!
The Feat of Sekhmet:
an annual festival at the beginning of the year, which began around August for the Egyptians following Wep Ronpet, or the New Year.
The festival was a time of drunkeness with red beer and wine, where Egyptians would dance, play music.
The goal was to imitate the drunkenness that had once stopped the goddess Sekhmet from destroying humanity.
According to Egyptian mythology, Sekhmet became so bloodthirsty from humanity betraying her father Ra, that she nearly destroyed all humans on Earth. The other deities asked Ra to stop her, and he eventually pacified her by making her believe the wine or beer was blood and she drank herself to sleep, turning into either Hathor or Bastet.
the Aphrodisia:
The festival of Aphrodite! The festival occurred during the month of Hekatombaion, which modern scholars recognize as starting from the third week in July to the third week of August.
the first ritual of the festival would be to purify the temple with the blood from a dove, the sacred bird of Aphrodite. Afterwards, worshipers would carry sacred images of the goddess, as well as Peitho, in a procession to be washed.
During the festival it was not permitted to make bloody sacrifices, since the altar could not be polluted with the blood of the sacrifice victims, which were usually white male goats.
This of course excludes the blood of the sacred dove, made at the beginning of the ritual to purify the altar. In addition to live male goats, worshipers would offer fire, flowers, and incense.
This was even celebrated in Thebes, Egypt, where Aphrodite had a large cult following.
Wep Ronpet:
Wep Ronpet is the Kemetic New Year.
It falls usually somewhere btwn late July and mid-August. The date for Wep Ronpet varies each year, as it is marked by the rising of Sopdet, modernly known as Sirius. Wep Ronpet is in fact one day long.
However, there are 5 days of excitement leading up to Wep Ronpet that we typically call the Epagomenal Days, or the Intercalary Days.
The Epag. days came about from a myth where Nut got pregnant with 5 kids. Ra got upset about this and forbade her from giving birth on any day of the year. Thoth, being the tricky guy that he is played a game of Senet with the moon, and upon winning this game of Senet, he received a small portion of the moon which he used to create an extra 5 days which she can use to birth her five children.
Traditionally, these days are said to be a little weird because they are ‘outside of the norm’. Usually great care was taken not to take too many risks.
So, each day is dedicated to the god that was born on that particular day. The order that it goes in is:
Osiris
Heru-wer (Horus the Elder)
Set
Aset
Nebhet (Nephthys)
Normally, celebrations of Wep Ronpet include prayers to Sekhmet against the 7 arrow or plagues of the year: libations and offerings to the Netjeru, song, dance, feast.
Ritual bathing for purification is sometimes done afterwards.
Personally, I like to perform execration, banishing all the illness, negativity and harm from the previous and coming year.
