THURSDAY November 10th at 7pm: ON THE EDGE OF DREAM Women In Celtic Myth & Legend

         

THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN CELTIC HISTORY & STORIES

ON THE EDGE OF DREAM

Women In Celtic Myth & Legend

Weaving fragments of ancient epic texts and the richness of oral tradition, tonight's stories feature the powerful, wild, and wise women of Celtic mythology. The women of Celtic literature are here celebrated for their ingenuity, spirit, physical courage, and deep instinctual natures. 

Retold for the modern reader, in earthy, poetic language, these haunting, deeply moving tales exert a primal pull, awakening ancient memories buried deep within our collective unconscious.

Tonight:

THE ROMANCE OF MIS AND DUBH RUIS

He thought that if he could serenade her with his harp, he might be able to woo her. This, he hoped, would heal her wounded soul and cure her madness. Mis was, indeed, transfixed by the sound of Dubh Ruis's harp. She was also transfixed by his naked body as he played the sweet songs.

BLODEUWEDD - A woman made of flowers

A woman named Arianrhod places a ‘tynged’ on her son, Lleu Llaw Gyffes, that Lleu could never marry a human woman. But Lleu had an uncle named Gwydion, a legendary wizard, who creates for Lleu a wife made of flowers and named her Blodeuwedd. She was created from the flowers of the oak, the flowers of the broom, and the flowers of the meadowsweet. Blodeuwedd and Lleu get married, but trouble is soon on the horizon. Blodeuwedd has fallen in love with Gronw Pebr, a warrior and hunter from Penllyn.

THURSDAY March 10th at 7:00pm - 8:30pm: Irish Legends - THE BATTLE OF CLONTARF

    

"Irish Legends"

THE BATTLE OF CLONTARF

PLEASE NOTE:

Tonight's presentation is a fictionalized account of a historically accurate event.

Thematic Elements include war, violence, bloodshed, & death. It is the end of the era of gods and warrior kings. With the victory of Christian King Brian over the enslaving Vikings, at the cost of their own lives, Ireland is freed from bondage and increasingly left in the hands of former slaves. Odin himself makes an impressive and doomful appearance, actively aiding and abetting this changing of the guard. Tonight's Story is a fictionalized version of the Battle of Clontarf (1014), with doomful visions and fantasy elements. While the historical facts of the battle are accurate, they are not the most important parts of this story. The protagonist is Conn the Thrall, who fights alongside Turlogh Dubh O'Brien, who is an outcast from Brian Boru's clan. From the superb, and very rare, book "Dark Mind, Dark Heart", an anthology August Derleth. It was released in 1962 by Arkham House in an edition of 2,493 copies. (and Shandon has a copy!!)

Tonight's Story will be 90 minutes

THE FAERIE GIRL and other tales

COUNTY WICKLOW, IRELAND, SUMMER 1845 THE FIRST TIME COLIN BARRINGTON SAW THE WILD GIRL, HE KNEW SHE WAS A faerie. He crouched in the bushes of and tried to breathe as silently as possible. The air smelled of leaves and water. Thorns pricked the backs of his hands, and his trousers were damp and muddy at the knees.
She knelt at the edge of the small pond hidden in the heart of the woods. Dark hair tangled about her sharp features...

STAG HUNT

In ancient Britannia, the warrior who brought down the king stag was named the defender of the land.

Eartha’s brother Balen has been in love with Princess Galiene since they were children. Upon the death of the High King, the tribesmen of the realm vie for the throne, and with it, the hand of the fair princess. Balen is desperate to win his lady, but a rival tribesman is equally determined to keep them apart. With her brother, her dearest friend, and the country she loves all hanging in the balance, Eartha must do the unthinkable to ensure her brother’s victory in the stag hunt. Sometimes true love needs a helping hand...or some blood to be spilled.

THURSDAY May 29th at 7pm: SCYLLA and CHARYBDIS pt.2

The story of Scylla and Charybdis

Two maidens turned monster - and the deadly peril found in the watery grave between them. Scylla begins as a beautiful but lonely orphan raised by wolves. Nisus, the rightful but unlucky king of Egypt, falls in love and weds her - not realizing that it might be impossible to tame the wild ways of the wolf-girl. Betrayal leads to Scylla's transformation into a sea monster that is half Nereid and half wolf pack. One half lures; the other devours. Charybdis becomes accursed through her own caprice. Having spent her youth as a spoiled princess, she is transformed into a monster as greedy for seawater as she had been for the objects of her desire. Twice a day she drinks the tide, and any ships sailing in it. Twice a day she spits it out again, corpses and all. This is the exciting saga of Scylla and Charybdis and the mayhem caused when they are brought together in a swirling, narrow passage through which many ships and men must pass. It tells of those who meet their death there and of the perils encountered by the hero Ulysses in that deadly strait.
