    Really like how you weave plants, snowdrops in this instance, into your mythical stories. This integrates plantlore, herbal remedy and temperance of the ingredients in the cauldron into your stories. Plus this story of the Cailleach, Queen of winter, reflects upon the seasons and associated traditional Imbolc celebrations. Your storytelling is an ancient artform that very much needs resurrection within the modern day world. Thank You for your excellent dramatic efforts with this restoration.

      Thank you for these kind words. I’m not much of a herbalist, but I do love how the folklore often tells us something about that in many cases 🌿

    I'd never heard of Cailleach before. Lovely story telling. The passing of the seasons in anthropomorphic symbolism with also the birds.

      @@TheStoryCrow exciting!! I can't wait, and I have much to catch up on and much to learn while you work on new content. I am one of the few Gantley's left in NZ, our ancestors migrated from County Mayo and the Isle of Man to NZ a couple centuries ago. I hope to get to Ireland one day and step foot where my kin hail from. Until then I'm loving immersing myself in the celtic culture, nothing has felt more true to me in all my years of soul-searching than the ways of the Irish Pagans 🇮🇪🍀🇳🇿

    Part of the story reminds me a lot of the Story of Holla (Frau Holle) which is very famous in Germany. And you can tell that Jadis from Narnia was heavily inspired by The Cailleach.

    Are there any folklore around Garlic-Geirlauk-Allium Sativum,the Alu rune?

    • @TheStoryCrow
      @TheStoryCrow  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hmm. Not as far as I’m aware, but I’m always interested in etymological synchronicities. We don’t know much about the Alu charm, apart from it’s probably, well, a charm, and means health (or beer) maybe there is a link. I’ll have a look in, thanks for the suggestion 👍

    That Cailleach, she is SOME kinda twisted witch. I always associate Imbolc naturally, Universally with an appeasement of the former monsters (and, a celebration arm in arm with The Redeemed) and perhaps an homage to a witch over there, but not Cailleach. Who knows WHAT it will take to keep the Mabwegon Sermon to Mabon...
    Either way, looking forward to paying Brighid an homage for the first time in my life, this very year. Cheers!
