We are also very proud to bring you a world exclusive preview of a track from Damh the Bard's new album, Tales From The Crowman.

Could it possibly be pleasing to God to see us celebrate Halloween? And are you sure you want to get involved? http://www.gnmagazine.org/video/10282009-harmless-halloween.htm

This is the Autumn Equinox Holiday Special, and we're also bringing you (in association with Druidcast and Damh the Bard), a special Lecture by Prof. Dr. Roland Rotherham on "The Ladies of the Grail". Dr Rotherham is an acknowledged expert and scholar in the legends of King Arthur and the Holy Grail. In this wonderful talk he revels how the ladies of the Grail have considerably more importance in the legends than the Knights themselves! Not a talk to be missed! In typical Celtic fashion, he explains how the Grail is one of *three* items of great importance and reveals that the origins of the Grail Legends may be a lot older than previously thought. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable but also an extremely entertaining lecturer. We round off the show with three pieces of Arthurian music and gratefully pass our thanks on to Damh and Dr. Rotherham for their respective permissions to use this material. We hope you enjoy this treat as much as we did!

We've been away for nearly 6 weeks now. Unbelievably, with all of the ups and downs that life throws at you, we're still here! We're back - and to make up for our absence we bring you the biggest Celtic Myth Podshow Special ever - again!! It's just over an hour and a half long! If you like to listen to the show while commuting, it might be an idea to split it up into two halves. If you stop just after our visit to see Duncan, you'll be all set for the story in the last half. :) The Lughnasadh show has six wonderful pieces of music, a dreamy story, a poem and a beautifully sung version of that poem. We've also got a section about the festival of Lughnasadh from The Religion of the Ancient Celts by J A McCulloch.

A short trailer for the full Right Angle Mind video. We live in a right angle world. Your house, your doors, windows, bricks, your TV, tables, beds, books, papers, all designed using rectangles and right angles. Why? Not because the rectangle is the best shape to build with. But because at the root of the human mind lies an ingrained fixation with the right angle. Read more and discuss in the forum at http://rightanglemind.com Game boards: chess, tic-tac-toe, sudoku, crosswords, scrabble, snakes and ladders, hopscotch; all built on square grids. Why? Because at the basest level, in terms of space, the right angle is our simplest mental concept. Sports pitches: Basketball, Tennis, Badminton, Volleyball, Rugby, Hurling, Snooker, Pool, Billiards. All played on rectangular pitches. Why? What need is there for a rectangular pitch? Not because it fits the game; but because it fits our *minds*. Cities: Many modern cities are built on right angle grids: Buenos Aires, Tijuana, Phoenix, Johannesburg, Denver, Adelaide, Havana, Mannheim, Osaka. Why? Why the need for square and rectangular cities? Why are most buildings rectangular? Because when humans design, the begin with the most basic shapes for a human: the right angle and the rectangle. Graphs: sales graphs, financial projections, forecasts, always shown on right angle graphs. Why? When we organize information and display it, at the most basic level, our minds want to see it in a perfect, exact right angle form. Mathematics: x-y graphs, the basis of all equations, the concept of multiplication and squares, the 3D origin x, y, z, Pythagoras' theorem, vectors, all based around right angles. Why? Not because that's the way nature is arranged; but because that's the way our *minds* are arranged.

Threat to the Hill of Tara The Hill of Tara is under threat from the construction of a new motorway, the M3, which is currently being built and will disect the tranquil Tara-Skryne valley and pose a threat to many monuments which will doubtlessly be uncovered during its construction. Already a unique hengiform site has been revealed at Lismullen, and this has stopped work on the motorway. The Hill of Tara, known as Temair in gaeilge, was once the ancient seat of power in Ireland -- 142 kings are said to have reigned there in prehistoric and historic times. In ancient Irish religion and mythology Temair was the sacred place of dwelling for the gods, and was the entrance to the otherworld. Saint Patrick is said to have come to Tara to confront the ancient religion of the pagans at its most powerful site. One interpretation of the name Tara says that it means a place of great prospect and indeed on a clear day it is claimed that features in half the counties of Ireland can be seen from atop Tara. In the distance to the northwest can be seen the brilliant white quartz front of Newgrange and further north lies the Hill of Slane, where according to legend St. Patrick lit his Pascal fire prior to his visit to Tara in 433 AD. Early in the 20th century a group of Israelites came to Tara with the conviction that the Arc of the Covenant was buried in on the famous hill. They dug the Mound of the Synods in search of the Arc but found only some Roman coins. Official excavation in the 1950s revealed circles of post holes, indicating the construction of substantial buildings here. A new theory suggests Tara was the ancient capital of the lost kingdom of Atlantis. The mythical land of Atlantis was Ireland, according to a new book. There are a large number of monuments and earthen structures on the Hill of Tara. The earliest settlement at the site was in the Neolithic, and the Mound of the Hostages was constructed in or around 2500BC. There are over thirty monuments which are visible, and probably as many again which have no visible remains on the surface but which have been detected using special non-intrusive archaeological techniques and aerial photography. A huge temple measuring 170 metres and made of over 300 wooden posts, was discovered recently at Tara. Only two monuments at Tara have been excavated - The Mound of the Hostages in the 1950s, and the Rath of the Synods at the turn of the 19th-20th Centuries. Click here to see a comprehensive map of the monuments on Tara. Click here for the Tara photo gallery. The Stone of Destiny Sitting on top of the King's Seat (Forradh) of Temair is the most famous of Tara's monuments - Ireland's ancient coronation stone - the Lia Fail or Stone of Destiny , which was brought here according to mythology by the godlike people, the Tuatha Dé Danann, as one of their sacred objects. It was said to roar when touched by the rightful king of Tara. Formerly located just north of the Mound of the Hostages (see map), it was moved to its current site after the Battle of Tara during the Irish revolution of 1798 to mark the graves of 400 rebels who died here. Some say the true Stone of Destiny was formerly the Pillow of Jacob from the Old Testament. They also claim it was flat and that it was moved from Tara by King Fergus of Scotland and was named the Stone of Scone which then became the coronation stone of British kings at Westminster Cathedral. Many historians accept that the present granite pillar at Tara is the true Stone of Destiny, but a number of people have argued that the Stone of Scone is in fact the real thing. One legend states that it was only one of four stones positioned at the cardinal directions on Tara - and it is interesting to note that the Hall of Tara, the ancient political centre of Ireland, is aligned North-South.

Performed By: Enya The term Celt, normally pronounced /k lt/ refers to a member of any of a number of peoples in Europe using the Celtic languages, which form a branch of Indo-European languages, as well as others whose language is unknown but where associated cultural traits such as Celtic art are found in archaeological evidence. Historical theories were developed that these factors were indicative of a common origin, but later theories of culture spreading to differing indigenous peoples have recently been supported by some genetic studies. The Celts themselves had an intricate, indigenous polytheistic religion and distinctive culture, though the spread of the Roman Empire led to continental Celts adopting Roman culture. The eventual development of Celtic Christianity in Ireland and Britain brought an early medieval renaissance of Celtic art between 400 and 1200, only ended by the Norman Conquest of Ireland in the late 12th century. Antiquarian interest from the 17th century led to the term Celt being extended, and rising nationalism brought Celtic revivals from the 19th century in areas where the use of Celtic languages had continued. Today, "Celtic" is often used to describe the languages and respective cultures of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, the Isle of Man and Brittany (see the Modern Celts article), but corresponds more accurately to the Celtic language family - of which six languages are spoken today (Manx and Cornish being recent revivals): Irish, Scottish Gaelic and Manx (Goidelic languages) and Welsh, Breton and Cornish (Brythonic languages). Only in the last two decades of the twentieth century did multidisciplinary studies come to bear upon the history of the Celts. Disciplines such as ancient history, palaeolinguistics, archaeology, history of art, anthropology, population genetics, history of religion, ethnology, mythology and folklore studies must all be taken into consideration and their findings compared one with another, without falling into the fallacies of what John Collis (2003) has termed the "continuous circular argument" (Lorrio and Zapatero).

On the 11th and 12th October, 2008 this trio recorded on a brand new CD to raise money for the Motor Neurone Association. The CD consists of members of Cantorion Colin Jones (The North Wales Male Chorus), now under the baton of John Daniel. As one of our most popular members of the choir, John Puw, suffers from this condition, all proceeds from the CD will go directly to the MND Association Charity in order to assist John and others to cope with such a debilitating disease. Details on how to purchase the CD will be on the choir website (www.cantorioncolinjones.com) as we hope to have it on sale for Christmas. Any support will be much appreciated. Thank you very much. The beautiful DANNY BOY recorded by Merfyn, Geraint and Dafydd. The trio are members of Cantorion Colin Jones (The North Wales Male Chorus) based in Betws y Coed, Eryri (Snowdonia). Please visit the choir's website at www.cantorioncolinjones.com Lyrics below: Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying 'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide. But come ye back when summer's in the meadow Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow 'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so. And when you come, and all the flowers are dying If I am dead, as dead I well may be You'll come and find the place where I am lying And kneel and say an Ave there for me. And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me And all my grave shall warmer, sweeter be For you will bend and tell me that you love me And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.
