Sure wish I was seeing this one circulating more than the other ones without the information literacy component.

So here I am, circulating it.

the wildest thing happened to me the other day i found out a male coworker is into irish music so i told him that my dad is an irish musician and would he like to come to a session and he straight up irl said to me “name 5 irish songs your dad knows”

clockworkrobotic

he asked me if i play and i told him i played the fiddle when i was a teenager but havent played in years and he was like “oh cool. i play drums” as in a drum kit you know the famously folkish instrument the drum kit. bitch my name is molly o'reilly you really wanna challenge the legitimacy of my irish music involvement

Lyrics in Faroese:

Trøllabundin eri eg eri eg Galdramaður festi meg festi meg Trøllabundin djúpt í míni sál í míni sál Í hjartanum logar brennandi bál brennandi bál

Trøllabundin eri eg eri eg Galdramaður festi meg festi meg Trøllabundin inn í hjartarót í hjartarót Eyga mítt festist har ið galdramaður stóð

English translation:

Spellbound am I, am I The wizard has enchanted me, enchanted me Spellbound deep in my soul, in my soul In my heart burns a smouldering fire, smouldering fire

Spellbound am I, am I The wizard has enchanted me, enchanted me Spellbound in my heart’s root, my heart’s root

Barrett's Privateers except below deck on a ship

Barrett’s Privateers by Stan Rogers except you’re the captain of a ship that’s rocking through the waves one night, and a group of off-duty sailors below your cabin are harmonizing together.

She is singing an ancient herding song from mid-north Sweden and Norway. I sense very old vibrations in the calling tones. See what happens to the cows as the singing calls. The singer is Jonna Jinton.

Unearthing Ireland’s deepest fairy secrets and darkest myths

“A worldwide crowdsourcing movement is currently unearthing Ireland’s deepest fairy secrets and darkest myths. A voluntary collective online is working its way through transcribing 700,000 pages of folklore that were collected throughout Ireland between 1937 and 1939. This mass of previously inaccessible material was gathered by more than 100,000 children who were sent to seek out the oldest person in their community just before second World War to root out the darkest, oddest and weirdest traditional beliefs, secrets and customs, which were then logged into 1,128 volumes, titled the Schools’ Manuscripts Collection.

Half a million pages have been digitised by the National Folklore Collection, of which more than 100,000 pages have now been transcribed by volunteers, revealing the fairy situation in every townland, the types of leprechaun and butter churn common to each area, the names of people who tried to steal gold and what happened to them, or who had relationships with mermaids. There is material on local cures, holy wells, strange animals, travelling folk and spirits.”

Although not formally identified yet a body was found at Port Edgar Marina area of South Queensferry. The sad loss of Scott Hutchison has affected many people all over the world, the man wore his heart on his sleeve and wrote about his struggles among other things, this is my favourite from Frightened Rabbit.

“Scottish Winds”

Come gather in my lungs Scottish wind Belt out your blackest poems As the sea around you sings When that drone takes to the air A single note to raise my hair Carry songs beyond my lungs Cold Scottish wind

Come fall upon my shoulders, Scottish rain And dissolve all of the worry That has hunched this back of mine So the hurt run down the drain to the reservoir One day I’ll add a drop of my own worries To a dram

Gather heavy in these long Scottish winds All the fag smoke in the ether Of the grouse has clipped your wings Now I cough just like my granddad And his grandpa before him Ah, blow youth into these lungs Oh, Scottish wind

Come burl around my body, Scottish blood I’ll try not to spill a drop Oh, I’m sure you’ve spilled enough And the English fucking rule Who mean nothing to these times Ah, run forever in my veins Bold Scottish blood

And the whisper to my mouth, soft Scottish winds Just enough to say I love you To the girl who keeps me sane Take the stupid things I’ve said Blow them miles and miles away Thank you in advance, Scottish wind Thank you in advance, Scottish wind

“Despite their defeat, the Tuatha De still retained the power of their magic arts and they deprived the Gaels of their corn and milk until they forced them to come to terms. It was then decided that the country should be divided into two parts, the lower half going to the Tuatha De and the upper half to the Gaels. Thus the Tuatha De retired underground and the Daghdha assigned to each of their chiefs a sidh or “fairy mound,” and throughout the countryside such mounds are still regarded as the special dwelling places of the fairy people. Already in the late seventh century a clerical biographer of St. Patrick refers to the “sidh or gods who dwell in the earth”, thus evidently taking taking for granted the tradition that placed the native gods under the earth’s surface.”
