“Letting Your Spirits Catch You,” Part 1

Celtic, Shaman, Spiritual

I mentioned the wonderful little party I attended last week at the home of Owen O Suilleabhain. I was there just long enough to meet everyone and hear the young bardic poet Dónall Ó Héalaí give us a preview presentation before his foray west and his upcoming Tedtalk. Let’s all wish him deserved success! Donall’s […]

The Moon-Eyed People

Celtic, Earthworks, Ghosts, Native American, Paranormal

[Supernatural folklore and ancient monuments go hand in hand in Europe. In the Americas, the connection is not so well known.] When the first historic European cultures, the Celts, moved into northern and western Europe, they found the landscape marked by the monuments of an earlier people. Many of them were apparently simple constructions of […]

The Fairy Tree

Folklore, Native American

The Iroquois nations of upstate New York have as developed a tradition of Little People – “the Djogao,” the “Jungies,” the fairies – as any folk on earth. The wee folk still surface now and again, if reports are to be believed. The young guys hang out at a certain tobacco shop on the Tuscarora […]

The January Curse

Folklore, Spiritual

[The idea that any person or family could be cursed by a single month is one thing. The chance that there could be any validity to it is another. From the Southern side of my family comes this apparent phenomenon they always called, “the January Curse.”] Astronomical portents and synchronistic curses are such legendary subjects […]

This House is Haunted!

Folklore, Ghosts, Paranormal

The title of this quick end-of-the-year article is inspired by Guy Lyon Playfair’s 1980 book on the shocking two-year episode of the Enfield poltergeist (North London, UK), which Playfair investigated with Maurice Grosse starting in 1977. Playfair is also known for some electrifying studies of the spiritism of Brazil. (See The Flying Cow, 1975.) He […]

The Elfin Ring

Celtic, Native American, Spiritual

(A Reflection from December 2012) 1 In many parts of the world it’s been believed that we share the earth with natural presences often envisioned as small, magically powerful, humanlike beings. In legend, these Fairies/Little People have a circumstantial connection to the human dead and a deep interest in human children. Protectors of the natural […]

A Dance for Dorothy

Spiritual

It’s time to bid the earthly farewell to Dorothy Louise Clough (August 1, 1923-December 5, 2017). She was one of the grand dames of East Aurora and a matron spirit of Roycroft. Unforgettable is one word for Dorothy. Particularly in her last decade, she had a tendency to call things just the way she saw […]

The Black Creek Who-dat

Bigfoot, Folklore, Paranormal

The common term for a significant period of hysteria about some kind of typically paranormal subject is flap. I’ve seen flaps about upstate New York involving UFOs, Men-in-Black, cases of suspected possession, violent hauntings, paranormal zones, earthly vortexes, lake-lizards, religious miracles, active curses, and surely other things I’ve forgotten to mention. Flaps tend to start […]

Shelter

cats, Spiritual

[There’s the old tale about the man walking on the beach where countless starfish have been pitched up by a wave to dehydrate and die at low tide. He spends his day pitching them back one by one into the water. “You can never save them all,” someone said as he reared back for another […]

Bacchus at Halloween

Celtic, Folklore, Shaman, Spiritual

People can talk to you all they want about the old meanings – the spiritual significance – of Halloween/Samhain/the Celtic Day of the Dead. Intellectual understanding is a lot different from emotional significance. For those who understand and in some sense respond to it, the last night of October is a powerful point of the […]
