Cu Chulainn by =Tsabo6

Cu Chulainn is an Irish mythological hero best known for his exploits in the Táin Bó Cúailnge (Cattle raid of Cooley). He gained his name when as a child he killed Culann’s guard dog in self defense, and then offered to take the dog’s place until a replacement could be found. As a young man, Cu Culainn sigle-handedly defended Ulster against the forces of Queen Medb after the other men of Ulster were struck down by a curse. 

You can read the Táin Bó Cúailnge in both English and Irish here.

Everyone go read this now! The Táin is so cool.

Went to Half Priced Books today, they were having their 20% off the store Memorial day sale. The Lumberjack was hoping to score some cult movies, comics, or something. Sadly he found nothing to peak his interest. But I, my dear internet peoples, I found some kickass books that are just chockful of future amazing. 

You might have heard of them, I know the name was familiar to me tho I don’t know where. The books are Foxfire and Foxfire 2 edited by Eliot Wigginton. I was perusing my usual haunts of the “natural crafting” section and there inbetween “indian” basket weaving and floral arrangements where these two old beaten paperbacks. The titles caught me for their oddity in the section and as soon as I read “hog dressing, log cabin building, mountain crafts and foods, planting by the signs, snake lore, hunting tales, faith healing, moon shining, and other affairs of plain living.” I knew I was in business. 

Turns out they were a project and series that Eliot Wigginton an oral historian and folklorist did with his student in Georgia. To help preserve the oral traditions, wisdom, and skills of the area. THIS my good friends is where the gold is. It’s this kind of Americana folk healing that I cut my teeth on when I first started “crafting” as it were. And it’s this home rooted work that works best for me. Some of my best spells come out of this stuff.

Maybe you’re wondering what the bleeding eye of Balor I’m talking about, here is just one juicy example:

(under home remedies) 

Warts - Get something like a penny that someone would pick up. Put some blood from the wart on it and throw it into the road. When someone picks it up, the wart will go away. 

That right there is a ripe spell for the picking. I mean we can ethically quibble over loading off your (insert undesirable whatever here) on whomever picks up said penny, BUT the spell itself is foundationally sound. It sings like a fine tuned well played piano.

Aside from other lovely little examples these things are CHOCK FULL of delicious recipes, useful skills, and plain ol’ valuable info. I can’t wait to read the chapter on Burial Customs.

Seriously guys, if you haven’t already stepped outside of the metaphysical isle, try it some time. You’d be surprised the things you can find.  

So, I’d love to read these. Reblogging for the anthropology geeks, folklorists, and spell-crafting folks who follow me.

NO.

When one defines oneself as Pagan,
it means she or he or ze follows a singular spiritual path,
one that sees how best to live one’s manifestation in this creation.
The cycles of nature are interesting to live in, the earth manifests with us,
its plants and creatures work with us sometimes, against us other times.
We worship each to our own, some to one deity, some to many, some to none.
Some a mother, some a father, some ourselves, some all existence.
Each with their own mythos explaining all that is, was, or will be.
Some pagans respect life and free will, some have a path that would rule others.
Each is bound to the responsibility and consequences of their choice.

— Live for yourself.

FTFY.

You’re welcome.
