Scottish Folk Magic, with Scott Richardson-Read.
Description
Settle in! We have a very special guest
joining us all the way from Scotland. The creator of ‘The Cailleach’s
Herbarium’ website - delving into the world of Scottish folklore, herbalism and
folk practices. He is a folk magic practitioner, writer, advocate and agitator
- passionate about Scottish culture, history and politics. Scott joins us to
talk about all kinds of Scottish Folk Magic practices such as the various ways
in which Saining can be performed, Animism and Ancestor Veneration, Folk Deity,
Festivals and the important difference between cultural appropriation and
appreciation.
A four-times graduate and holds Masters
degrees in psychology, social work and research. The co-creator and researcher
behind the Tales of the Taibhsear project, part of the Taibhsear
collective that brought to life Edinburgh’s ongoing annual folk culture,
tradition and magic celebration and lecture series, and also network coordinator
for The Woven Land Network. A few very wise lines from the website:
“We are all seekers.
I am aware that my mind
holds constructs of thinking and attachments to things it has deftly disguised
as a certainty.
Through community, we can
help each other see past these pits in the road and move safely onwards with
our journey.”
