According to the ancient Celtic calendar, we are currently within the Thirteenth and final month of the year, each month being based on the 28 day cycle of the moon, called "Ruis". This month is associated with the Elder Tree, as trees were very sacred to the Celts, and the "totem" spirit or emblem, if you will, for the month and birth sign, was that of the Raven. The Raven being a sacred bird, a symbol of mystery, wisdom, magic, and death. The Raven was also thought in some respect to be the "Guardian of the Gate", as he would help souls cross over to the Other World for rest, before being reborn back into this world.
So to celebrate this time (as I myself am Ruis/Sagittarius), and the closing of yet another year, I thought I would do another beautiful cello music video, this time combining TWO great Oregon artists together, the music of Billy Mickelson, and the accompanying art of Stephanie Lostimolo. Happy Holidays to you all!
