Michaelmas Eve

Source: onepeterfive.com

Today is Michaelmas Eve, which had a considerable set of customs to honour the Archangel Michael, the day before his feast day. As so often with the Christian saints, a merging with the pagan past can be detected. Michael was frequently conflated with the pre-Christian sea gods. In the Hebrides, the Archangel was revered as the patron saint of the sea. A dish called Straun Micheil was baked in his honour on this day consisting of locally grown post-harvest produce together with butter, eggs, and sheep’s milk. It was cooked in a lamb’s skin over an open fire, the echoes of pagan animal sacrifice being positively audible. The cakes were were marked with a cross before being eaten, with a slice tossed on the fire to pacify the devil/sea god. Dances also took place on Michaelmas Eve, anticipating the mummers’ plays of the Christmas season, but the death-and-resurrection theme featured, unusually, a woman, perhaps a further memory of the ancient Mother Goddess-worshipping religions once widely practiced.

In the Highlands of Scotland, the saint was often known as God Michael, whereas in Lincolnshire bonfires were lit in his honour, and seed scattered for the birds, a gesture believed to bring good luck.

the way crowley’s lil head bobble lines up perfectly with aziraphale touching his back, it’s as if the touch caused an involuntary shiver up crowley’s spine…

Am I the only one that actually agrees with Neil about season 2 being "quiet, gentle and romantic"? OBVIOUSLY not the final 15, but the rest was terribly sweet and so so so romantic.

The dancing? "I thought we carved it out for ourselves" "so did I"??? "Our car"????? Are you kiiiiidding me????

And- hear me out. What's more romantic than this:

I wrote out how to watch Good Omens in chronological order if for some reason you wanted to do that.

I miss-typed for hell in the 1970s. It’s supposed to be Episode 5 21:27 - 22:26

Edit: I’ve made a Youtube Playlist with this all recorded and put into order, it took me a week of solid work but I got there. The link is in the pinned post on my profile
