Yule Log Tales, for this time of turning darkness into light

From a local tale of the mating of the Cailleach conceiving the new light to be birthed in Spring, to reverence for the Tree Of Life, and the slow burning of the Yule Log. The joy of the Green we bring into out homes to remind us of life and the green of Spring will soon be with us

Our celebration of Yule with stories of the changing wheel of the year, the fallen rising again, plus some fun tasty traditional recipes for this time, especially with ginger which was once only allowed in bread, by law, at this time.

Join us to share in the joy of this time.

Next Nature Folklore Sessions Live - Sunday 12th September, at 2pm Irish Time Watch here Live! ... or watch the archive later (click pic to set reminder) Tree Sanctuaries Autumn Gathering support for Your Tree Sanctuary desires A time and opportunity to recap on where we are with our Tree Sanctuaries and Tree Sanctuary ideas. This is a time when trees are truly turning colour around us in many places where we live. It is also a time we start to think about and plan our next tree planting season between November and March. This year I will talk about changes that I feel we need to make regarding our attitude and expectations of Tree Planting.  This includes encouraging nature's own regeneration planting and not being in such a rush or over ambitious with our own planting.                                                                                                                                     This also serves as a follow up to our March 'Us An

This is part two of a two part Nature Folklore session exploring the folklore and mythologies of Crom Cruach and Crom Dubh. It is a challenge to separate the two as similar tales are told of both legends. But it does seem that the Crom Dubh mythology arrived later than the reverence for Crom Cruach as a god. The tales of Crom Cruach and Crom Dubh are very intertwined these days. Though nobody really knows the origins and details of either I am going to approach this as Crom Cruach being symbolic as a bringer of harvests, and Crom Dubh as a metaphor mythology of what happens
