A post on Samhainn will follow shortly, but in the meantime I just wanted to bring a beautiful short film to your attention.
I can't embed the video here, it seems, but follow this link to watch it - it's only eight minutes long and the visuals are quite beautiful. The film references a few traditional stories about An Cailleach Bheara, although it concentrates on one in particular; I found this ages ago and meant to post it, but lost the link and it's only now I've found it - in good time for the season, perhaps!
Anyway, if you haven't seen it already, enjoy.
Thank you for sharing this! I hope that you are having/had a wonderful Samhain! :)
ReplyDeleteLove! Love! Love!
ReplyDeleteI had a great Samhainn, Laurel, thank you! Things didn't go quite according to plan here, but I don't think it was any the worse for it. I hope you had a good one too.
ReplyDeleteOh, that was just amazing. An Cailleach has become an important figure to me. This film really captured her well, I think, although I am also very drawn to her stormy moods as well.
ReplyDeleteI can't watch flash on my little so Sheena googled the Irish Film Board and we watched (among other things) Granny O'Grim's Bedtime Story, which is brilliant!
ReplyDeletei love this!!
