Cerridwen & Taliesin by Damh the Bard

Antlered Crown & Standing Stone Damh's new album is a superb compilation of spiritually uplifting songs about the Celtic Gods. This wonderful song to Bridgid crosses all boundaries in recognising the many facets of this Goddess and Saint. As usual, Damh has brought us a completely new channel to the ancient and magical powers that dwell within our Ancient and Sacred Lands. You can get hold of Antlered Crown & Standing Stone from iTunes, CD Baby or his website at Pagan Music.

The Abbots Bromley Horn Dance

Abbots Bromley Horn Dance The Abbots Bromley Horn Dance, performed at the Barthelmy Fair in August 1226, is one of the few ritual rural customs to survive the passage of time. Today the Horn Dance, which takes place annually on Wakes Monday, offers a fascinating day out attracting visitors from all over the world. After collecting the horns from the church at eight o'clock in the morning, the Horn Dancers comprising six Deer-men, a Fool, Hobby Horse, Bowman and Maid Marian, perform their dance to music provided by a melodian player at locations throughout the village and its surrounding farms and pubs. We did manage to find a YouTube video of the Dance for you.
