24.01.2022 The Actual Reasons Women Wear White On Their Wedding Day - rnkr.co/HistoryOfWhiteWeddingDresses
24.01.2022 There was a time when almost every rural British family who kept bees followed a strange tradition. Whenever there was a death in the family, someone had to go... out to the hives and tell the bees of the terrible loss that had befallen the family. Failing to do so often resulted in further losses such as the bees leaving the hive, or not producing enough honey or even dying. Traditionally, the bees were kept abreast of not only deaths but all important family matters including births, marriages, and long absence due to journeys. If the bees were not told, all sorts of calamities were thought to happen. This peculiar custom is known as telling the bees. The practice of telling the bees may have its origins in Celtic mythology that held that bees were the link between our world and the spirit world. So if you had any message that you wished to pass to someone who was dead, all you had to do was tell the bees and they would pass along the message. The typical way to tell the bees was for the head of the household, or goodwife of the house to go out to the hives, knock gently to get the attention of the bees, and then softly murmur in a doleful tune the solemn news. Little rhymes developed over the centuries specific to a particular region. In Nottinghamshire, the wife of the dead was heard singing quietly in front of the hive, The master's dead, but don't you go; Your mistress will be a good mistress to you. In Germany, a similar couplet was heard, Little bee, our lord is dead; Leave me not in my distress. But the relationship between bees and humans goes beyond superstition. It’s a fact, that bees help humans survive. 70 of the top 100 crop species that feed 90% of the human population rely on bees for pollination. Without them, these plants would cease to exist and with it all animals that eat those plants. This can have a cascading effect that would ripple catastrophically up the food chain. Losing a beehive is much worse than losing a supply of honey. The consequences are life threatening. The act of telling the bees emphasizes this deep connection humans share with the insect.

22.01.2022 Knowth - The Megalithic Art Gallery Knowth (Cnobga) is one of three great passage tombs of the Neolithic complex known as Brú na Boinne (The Palace/Mansion of ...the Boyne), located in a bend of the River Boyne in Co. Meath. Built around 3200BCE, Knowth consists of one large central mound surrounded by seventeen smaller mounds. The central mound is 12 metres (40 ft) high and is 95m (312 ft) across at its widest point. It has two passages with entrances on opposite sides, the western passage is 34 metres long and the eastern passage is 40 metres long, ending with a cruciform chamber. However, what really makes Knowth so special, is the amount of megalithic art found engraved on its stones. Nearly a third of all the known megalithic art in Europe is located at Knowth, with over 200 decorated stones found there during excavation. Most of this artwork appears on the 127 kerbstones, which surround the base of the central mound. Much of it was actually carved onto the unseen, inner face of the stones; a type of megalithic art known as hidden art. It is not known why these carvings were hidden; perhaps they were intended to be seen only by the spirits of the dead or the deities who reside within the great mound. There are also many theories as to what the carvings on the stones represent; the cycle of seasons, maps of the otherworld or images seen by shamans, using hallucinogenic substances during rituals. That said, many of the carvings do seem to be of an astronomical nature and two stones in particular even appear to be calendrical devices. The first of these is Kerbstone 15, known as the Sundial Stone, which some have interpreted as representing the ancient 16-month solar calendar. The other is Kerbstone 52, known as the Lunar Stone, thought to represent the monthly lunar cycle. Some scholars have even suggested that Knowth itself is a lunar site, mapping the 18.6-year cycle of the moon. Along with the kerbstones, carvings can also be found inside the central mounds two passages. A large decorated stone basin was found in the narrow eastern passage, again decorated with what seem to be astronomical symbols. Along the sidewall of the western passage is another large decorated stone, generally interpreted as a face, possibly the depiction of a deity worshipped here. ‘Cnobga’, the Irish name for Knowth is thought to derive from Cnoc Bua or Bui (Hill of Bua or Bui): The name Bui is often associated with the Cailleach Bhéara (The Hag of Beara). The amount of megalithic artwork at Knowth is staggering and although we will never truly know the significance of the images on the stones; like all great art they can mean something different to each of us that look upon them. Knowth and the other megalithic sites of the Boyne Valley were given World Heritage Status by UNESCO in 1993. Admission to Knowth is by guided tour from the Brú na Bóinne Visitor Centre.

20.01.2022 TRAVELLER APOLOGY NOW When I Grew Up In Care In St. Vincent's Residential Homes In The 1980's These Homes Were Diverse And had Many Residents Pass Through Them... At Various Different Times From All Types Of Economic And Social Classes. I Grew Up In A Constantly Changing Environment And For The Most Part ''The 5 Reilly's'' Were The Most Resident Family. There Was A Constant Turn Over Of Staff And Nuns Who Came In And Did Shift Work But Did Not Live In The Homes. In Short I was Raised By A System. Many Children Passed Through The Constantly Revolving Doors. I Remained For 10 Yrs. In That Decade I Came Across Children From Vietnam, Nigeria, Mixed Race Irish. Institutions At This Time Catered Only For The White Irish Settled Community. This Was Before Ireland Became A Multicultural Society. Bertie Ahearn Made An Apology On Behalf Of The Irish State To Victims Of Abuse In These Institutions And The Redress Board Was Established To Compensate Victims As A Result. This Transpired To Be A Silencer And The Survivers'were Taken Advantage Of By Solicitors Claiming Huge Amounts Of Money. Past Residents Were Further Subjected To Mistreatment In Their Dealings With The Redress Board. In The Institutions As Many Will Be Aware Children From Mixed Race, Travellers And Other Ethnicities Were Assimilated And Further Abused By Institutional Racism By The System And Within The Institutions. The Redress Board Did Not Address This As A Specific Case. Many Of My Friends Will Know Of Black Children Being Put On Showcase, The Now Civilized Traveller Being Shown To The Public As A Mark Of Success And Achievement By The State. I Fought Against This Constant Ridicule And Forced Assimilation To The Best Of My Ability As A Child Growing Up In Care With Consequences Of Punishment And Further Psychological Abuse. This Was Because Of My Inherent Traveller Ethnicity And My Strong Passion About Maintaining It Within The System Of Institutions. Unlike Those Of Different Colour Who Could To Some Extent Be Recognised In The Physical For Their Ethnicity. Travellers Being White Irish Could Not. They Could However Within These Homes Be Called Knackers, Be Told To Be Greatful For The Food They Got, The Clothes On Their Backs And Any other ''Privilages'' As They Called Them. The Irony Being. Your Ethnicity Was More Recognised In Care For It's Perceived Negativity And Dysfunction And Different Social Norms. You Were Always Reminded Of Your Difference To Others In The Homes In A Human Context But When It Came To Us Speaking Cant Among Ourselves, Our Accents, Our Perception Of The World We Were Told We Should Learn To Act The Same As Everyone Else And Should Be Treated The Same By Abandoning Our Ways, Perceptions And Memories. For Me Acknowledgement of Traveller Ethnicity validated Who I Am. That I Exist. I Owe It To The Younger Version Of Me And To the many, Many Travellers Who Went Through This To Ask For an apology for denial of Recognition Of Our Ethnicity and For Assimmilationists approaches. She ( That Younger Version Of Me ) Had To Live Like A Cat Among Dogs Within The Confines Of The Walls Of Care Home Institutions And Their System With Those Who Despised Everything Traveller . I owe It To Her To Write This. This is Me On The Right And My Sister Winnie On The Left. After Leaving Care Winnie Spent Many Years Living Homeless On The Streets With No Aftercare Put In Place. No Home To Return To And Her Family Separated By The State. She Died In A Tragic House Fire While Sleeping Homeless In A Squat. See more

13.01.2022 La parola "sciamano" (šamán) giunge per la prima volta in un testo stampato all'interno dell'autobiografia dell'arciprete Avvakum (1621-1682), compilata dal rel...igioso durante i suoi anni di prigionia a Pustozеrsk. Sacerdote intransigente e turbolento, Avvakum si oppose strenuamente alle riforme religiose volute dal patriarca Nikon e appoggiate dallo zar, venendo per questo condannato dal sovrano all'esilio in Siberia, ripetutamente imprigionato e infine arso sul rogo nel 1682. Nel 1656 Avvakum fu esiliato per la prima volta nella lontana regione della Dauria, in quella che allora era una terra di frontiera in cui coloni russi, cosacchi, popolazioni locali e mongoli si scontravano per il predominio, venendo affidato come prete secolare alla spedizione esplorativa del voivoda Afonasej Paškov. Tra le cose che Avvakum racconta del suo amaro soggiorno siberiano vi è proprio una seduta sciamanica, richiesta -con il sommo sdegno dell'arciprete- dallo stesso esploratore russo intenzionato a conoscere il futuro della sua spedizione. È proprio in questo frangente che viene usata per la prima volta in un testo scritto la parola "sciamano", all'interno della descrizione di un rito siberiano paradossalmente commissionato da una spedizione di conquista guidata da russi ortodossi. Di seguito pubblico parte del brano originale tratto dall'autobiografia del prete Avvakum, estremamente critico verso queste tradizioni e pronto ad augurare ogni tormento a coloro che vi facessero ricorso: "[Paškov] mandò suo figlio Eremej nell'impero mongolo a guerreggiare e insieme a lui settantadue cosacchi e venti indigeni; e ordinò a un indigeno di fare lo sciamano (šamán), cioè di predire se sarebbero tornati a casa vittoriosi. Quel mago portò di sera alla mia capanna un montone vivo, e si esercitò nella magia sopra di lui, facendolo girare a lungo, e mandandogli la testa di qua e di là. Si mise a sobbalzare e a ballare e a invocare i demoni, fino a quando, gridando forte, si buttò contro la terra e dalla bocca gli uscì la bava. I demoni lo schiacciarono ed egli chiedeva a loro: Riuscirà l'impresa? E i demoni dissero: Con grande vittoria e con grande ricchezza tornerete! I voivoda contenti e tutti gli uomini rallegrandosi dicono: Torneremo ricchi! Ah quanta amarezza nell'anima mia allora; non vi è dolcezza neppure ora! Il cattivo pastore ha perduto le sue pecore, dal dolore ha dimenticato quello che fu detto nel Vangelo quando i figli di Zebedeo si consultavano a proposito degli abitanti crudeli: 'Signore', dicevano, 'vuoi che il fuoco scenda dal cielo e li stermini, come fece Elia?' Gesù si voltò verso di loro e disse: 'Non sapete di che spirito siete; il Figlio dell'uomo non è venuto a perdere le anime degli uomini, ma a salvarle.' E loro andarono in un altro paese. Ma io, maledetto, non ho fatto così. Nel mio ovile gridavo chiamando il Signore: Ascoltami Dio! Ascolta Re del Cielo, Somma Luce, ascoltami! Fa che nessuno di loro torni indietro, costruisci a tutti la tomba lì, arreca loro del male, o Signore, arrecaglielo, manda loro la morte perché non si verifichi la profezia diabolica. E ne dissi ancora molte. Pregavo Iddio di nascosto per questo..."

From German Welt (world) + Schmerz (pain) - 1864.

11.01.2022 The insane asylums of the past were a far cry from the clean and humane psychiatric facilities of today. These 19th-century madhouses were packed with people, h...olding up to 10 times as many residents as they were meant to accommodate with unruly inmates sometimes confined to cages in the hallways. And many "patients" weren't even mentally ill at all, as these facilities came to be a kind of catch-all for "hysterical" women, criminals, people with disabilities, and immigrants. Take a look inside 9 notorious asylums and see why life as a patient there was worse than a horror movie: https://bit.ly/3cQ1BDI

06.01.2022 Mug shot of William Stanley Moore, 1 May 1925, Central Police Station, Sydney. Special Photograph no. 1399. NSW Police Forensic Photography Archive, Justice & P...olice Museum. This picture appears in the Photo Supplement to the NSW Police Gazette, 28 July, 1926 captioned: 'Opium dealer./ Operates with large quantities of faked opium and cocaine./ A wharf labourer; associates with water front thieves and drug traders.' This picture is one of a series of around 2500 "special photographs" taken by NSW Police Department photographers between 1910 and 1930. These "special photographs" were mostly taken in the cells at the Central Police Station, Sydney and are, as curator Peter Doyle explains, of "men and women recently plucked from the street, often still animated by the dramas surrounding their apprehension". Doyle suggests that, compared with the subjects of prison mug shots, "the subjects of the Special Photographs seem to have been allowed - perhaps invited - to position and compose themselves for the camera as they liked. Their photographic identity thus seems constructed out of a potent alchemy of inborn disposition, personal history, learned habits and idiosyncrasies, chosen personal style (haircut, clothing, accessories) and physical characteristics."

04.01.2022 This is how I display my handmade pins. All of them are over 200 years old, some of them could be more than 600, and still as sharp as the day they were made. T...here are so many handmade pins on the foreshore simply because everyone used them, from princesses to paupers. Babies were pinned into swaddling, everyone was pinned into their clothes, and in the end they were pinned into their shrouds. If the humble pin could talk, what tales it would tell. #LondonMudlark #Mudlark #Mudlarking
04.01.2022 History is written by the victors. For those who are incensed about statues being pulled down etc, this is what the rewriting of history really is - telling the full story, rather than the sanitised, colonial versions we have all been taught. These histories need to be brought to the table, and validated at last. Let’s talk about the greed and dishonesty that has wiped out millions of lives, not just from the lands into which they were born but also from the written record.
