Tune in at 12 AM, August 18th and hear the Gypsy Scholar present his third and final installment of his Orphic Essay-with-Soundtrack series for the Celtic cross-quarter festival of Lughnasadh or Lammas, a high summer celebration marking the start of the autumnal season and the first harvest according to the natural cycle of growth, reaping, sacrifice, death and rebirth, which is represented by the folk-hero John Barleycorn, the Corn King.
This third installment will continue to explore the nature of this cross-quarter festival on the Celtic Wheel of the Year and its ritual gathering sites and fairs, fairs that serve as meeting places for Lughnasadh lovers. It will also feature poetry in honor of Lughnasadh and high summertime.
Be sure to check out the fantabulous “Lughnasadh/Lammas” webpage dedicated to this musical essay series, which is located on the Tower of Song website at revradiotowerofsong.com
