Absolutely fascinating podcast from Blindboy last Wednesday, about the ancient Irish tradition of lifting massive stones, and the man who's trying to revive the tradition. Highly recommended if you're into history and folklore

#irish folklore #irish tradition #irish history #gaeilge #blindboy #the blindboy podcast #just listen to the blindboy podcast in general #he's autistic so I know he'll tickle the brains of half of this website #like ugh the way he makes connections to stuff is incredibly satisfying #Spotify #at the start of this one he talks about taxi drivers getting drenched by a sudden shower and the smell of birdshit in limerick #but stick with him #trust me #he also suggests dressing up the statue of Richard Harris as a hawk during summer months to ward off the birds creating all the shit ahshsjs

Happy Nollaig na mBan!

Perhaps one of my favourite Irish traditions is Little Christmas, otherwise known as Women's Christmas, or Nollaig na mBan, which takes place on 6th January every year.

It traditionally heralds the end of Christmas and is a day to celebrate the ladies. Ireland was, up till recently, a pretty heavily patriarchal society and the women's place and her work was considered to be in the home. This day was a day where, instead of focusing on the home and children, women got to go out visiting their friends or going out to a show or having afternoon tea. The men were expected to take care of the housework on this day, if none other.

Nowadays, in modern Ireland, it is still celebrated, and women take it as an opportunity to go for a spa day with their mam or a nice meal and a few drinks with friends. It's a chance to show the women in your life that you appreciate them, and all the tiny, thankless, unseen things they do.

"……美要被感知，需要最低限度的沉默……美早已消失。 它已經消失在噪音的��面之下——文字的噪音、汽車的噪音、音樂的噪音——我們一直生活在其中。 ......只剩下這個詞，其含義年復一年地變得越來越難以理解。

…e la bellezza, per essere percepita, ha bisogno di un minimo grado di silenzio…la bellezza è ormai da tempo scomparsa. È scomparsa sotto la superficie del rumore- il rumore delle parole, il rumore delle automobili, il rumore della musica – in cui viviamo costantemente. …Ne è rimasta solo la parola, il cui senso è di anno in anno meno comprensibile."

- Milan Kundera, Il libro del riso e dell’oblio 米蘭昆德拉《笑忘書》-

Birds at Bealtaine

A dandelion’s last three seeds. Copyright Mabh Savage 2022 Bealtaine 2022 As is traditional, we started our Bealtaine celebrations last night. Bealtaine, never Beltane, to honour the very living Irish traditions (and language!) the word comes from. Yes, I’ve called it Beltane in the past. No, I shouldn’t have done. When you know better, you do better, right? One of the kids has a birthday…

Leaping

Well, this has been on my mind since January and since it was still rattling around up there, I thought I might as well get it out and be done with it. This year – 2024 – is called Leap Year. What has been boggling my mind is: exactly WHAT are we leaping??? And, yes, I understand that the term Leap Year refers to the year when there is an additional day in February. And, so, this year we had 29…

HAPPY SAINT PATRICK’S DAY

AAAAH. Tradition. The wearing of the green, parades, corned beef or ham and cabbage, potatoes and Irish Harp beer. So much tradition I can hardly stand it. But it’s all good, all fun and all steeped in history, if you can remember being taught that stuff. The feast of Saint Patrick’s Day is a Christian tradition which celebrates the faith being brought to Ireland. Observed since the 17th…
