Tonight is the Eve of St. George. Does anyone know of any woman who has tried this fertility spell?

This article was posted 9 years ago and says they were working on The Wrath of the Gods. Was this film ever made? The 1973 Wicker Man was great but in my opinion, The Wicker Tree was on a par with the 2006 Wicker Man remake with Nicolas Cage.

Ancient people celebrated the seasons of the year because they were dependent on nature for their survival. Spring, the Eternal Return, was a time of hope and joy. They would have celebrated again at the first returns of their harvests, which in Western Europe, would have been in the summertime, around the time of Lughnasadh. When all their crops had been gathered and they were preparing for the coming winter, that, too, would have been a time for celebration. Even if there's no evidence of a set Celtic calendar, what is known about them implies they had reason to celebrate the changing seasons.

I had always thought that a banshee was just some kind of spirit that wailed before a death, I never knew that you could “invoke” a banshee for the purpose of placing a curse on someone. I suppose if you have the ability to conjure spirits, you could conjure a banshee. It isn't clear whether the banshee cries because someone or a family member is about to die, or if the death occurs because the person heard the banshee.

Weren't the stone circles built by the people who came before the Celts? I thought that Druids worshiped in oak groves, not at stone circles, but didn't some of the Druids wear blue robes? The photos are also interesting. I suggest that everyone log-in so that they can enlarge them. I believe it was the Druid Revival in the 18th century where the Druids called Bards wore blue robes.
I would love to go to Ireland and see some of these places.

It’s true. His name was Maurice Schwalm, and he called himself a psychic, paranormal investigator and author. Like most authors who specialize in the paranormal, he couldn’t write, but his misplaced modifiers were amusing. I may be confusing this with something else entirely, but I think I read something once about Stull Cemetery being haunted by a vampire, and I think it was written by Maurice Schwalm.

We now have the most haunted location in each state, with the exception of Texas, which still has two suggestions. Does anyone have an opinion as to which of the two hotels, the Hotel Piasano in Marfa or the Excelsior House Hotel in Jefferson, is the most haunted? The Hotel Piasano allows dogs, and dogs usually have the same effect on ghosts as loud music, so even if the hotel was haunted at one time, I doubt that it still is. The Excelsior House Hotel doesn't allow dogs, there's no loud music and there's a story that even Steven Spielberg was scared by a ghost and checked out early.

In my opinion, in Tennessee, the most haunted house is probably Rotherwood in Kingsport. In Arkansas, the Allen House in Monticello is the most haunted.

I saw somewhere that Bobby Mackey's is going to be torn down.

Is anyone planning an Imbolc feast? If so, what are you going to serve?

Isn't Lancaster County where all the PowWow practitioners are? There were/are PowWow healers in the counties where the Pennsylvania Dutch, who are of German descent, are located, and that includes Lancaster County.

I recently ordered the first 2 seasons of Sister Boniface, a spinoff of Father Brown. The convent specializes in wine-making and Sister Boniface doubles as a forensic scientist for the local police department. Although one of the detectives, Felix Livingstone, is on secondment from Bermuda, the show is a lot more characteristic of the time period than Father Brown. Has anyone else seen this show? I haven't seen it but it sounds interesting. I'm going to check and see if someone has some used DVDs available on Amazon.
