#ritual

A sense of #belonging seems hard to come by now, with so much time spent on computers & so little time in community celebration. But that network of relationships is what healthy #ritual can/ought to provide, connecting us w/ a cosmic system both perfectly sacred & worldly. bit.ly/4rWCiW6

Frost And Fire (A Calendar Of Ritual And Magical Songs) by The Watersons, released on Topic in 1965. Sleeve Notes by A. L. Lloyd Seasons of anxiety, seasons of joy. The common people had their rites of propitiation and triumph, older than the rituals of the Church and closer bound to their daily lives. This record takes us through a year’s calendar, displaying songs that accompanied these ceremonies, season by season. ..Just as one doesn’t need to be an ancient Greek to be moved by the plays of Aeschylus, so it’s not necessary to be anything other than an ordinary freethinking twentieth century urban western man with a proper regard for humankind, to appreciate the spirit and power of these songs. To our toiling ancestors they meant everything, and in a queer irrational way they can still mean much to us. https://mainlynorfolk.info/watersons/records/frostandfire.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kk6c8keJ2sA&list=RDkk6c8keJ2sA&start_radio=1 #TheWatersons #ConceptLP #ALLoyd #FolkMusic #PaganRitual #Ritual #MagicalSongs
