    Extractions: When the Scots emigrated from Ireland, they brought with them a rich blending of belief and tradition based on Celtic pagan myth and Christianity. Isolated in the islands and highlands, uniquely powerful and superstitious Scottish legends and myths developed in which tradition and a very strong belief in the "second sight" and the faery world predominated. This worldview persisted well into the 20th century (and, we're sure, continues its influence to this day). The result was a culture circumscribed by ritual - each and every day had its ritual elements (how to stir the pot, how to lead the cows, how to celebrate the feasts and saints' days), designed to ensure good luck and blessings and to avoid tragedy. One of the most common elements of Scottish precognition is seeing the dead before they die (ie, knowing who is going to die soon). This ability is not considered a sought-after gift, but one to be dreaded.

    Extractions: The myth of Samhain: Celtic god of the dead Click Here to Visit our Sponsors. Identifying Samhain as a Celtic Death God is one of the most tenacious errors associated with Halloween. Almost all stories about the origin of Halloween correctly state that Halloween had its origins among the ancient Celts and is based on their " Feast of Samhain ." But many contemporary Christian authors which are critical of Halloween, Druidism , and/or Wicca have stated that Samhain was named after the famous Celtic " God of the Dead ." No such God ever existed. By the late 1990's many secular sources such as newspapers and television programs had picked up the error and propagated it widely. The answer is a definite yes and no: YES. He did exist. Many Neopagan and secular sources are probably wrong. As As Isaac Bonewits writes: "Major dictionaries of Celtic Languages don't mention any 'Samhain' deity..." However, there is some evidence that there really was an obscure, little known character named Samain or Sawan who played the role of a very minor hero in Celtic mythology. His main claim to fame was that Balor of the Evil Eye stole his magical cow. His existence is little known, even among Celtic historians.

88. Wonder Tales From Scottish Myth And Legend: Introduction
    Wonder Tales from scottish Myth and Legend, by Donald Mackenzie, at sacredtexts.com.

    Extractions: Sacred Texts Celtic Index Previous ... Next p. 9 Introduction The myths and legends of Scotland are full of what is called "local colour". They afford us not only glimpses of ancient times and of old habits of thought and life, but also of the country itself at different times of the year. In the winter season the great mountain ranges are white with snow and many inland lochs are frozen over, but along the west coast, which is washed by the warm surface waters of the Atlantic and bathed in mild moist breezes from the south-west, there may be found sheltered and sunny spots where wild flowers continue to bloom. The old people believed that somewhere in the west the spirit of Spring had its hiding-place, and they imagined this hiding-place to be a green floating island on which the sun always shone and flowers were p. 10 always blooming. During the reign of Beira p. 11 mountain group in County Kerry. In Scotland the story of the winter goddess, Beira, has a strictly local setting. She is, in consequence, a local deity. Bride, the lady of summer growth, is still remembered also, and there are beautiful Gaelic songs about her. Other stories have likewise a local character. Those who know the west coast will be familiar with the glorious transparency of the hill-surrounded lochs in calm weather. When the old people saw the waters reflecting the mountains and forests, the bare cliffs and the bright girths of green verdure, they imagined a "Land-under-Waves" about which they, of course, made stories. The "Northern Lights" (aurora borealis), which are a feature of northern winters, also stirred their imaginations. They called these vivid and beautiful streamers "Nimble Men" and "Merry Dancers", and believed they sometimes danced and sometimes waged war. In the red-spotted green stones called "blood stones" they saw the blood-drops of the wounded. When the streamers are particularly bright a red cloud often appears below them; this the old people called "the pool of fairy blood".

    Extractions: MacBRAVEHEART Matt Ewart's Wallace Essay Under the headline: Cultural myths grow larger than life. Surely this is the case with William Wallace the following essay by Matt Ewart was printed in the Herald newspaper in Scotland on Saturday November 15th, 1997. The story of Wallace poured a Scottish prejudice into my veins which will boil along till the floodgates of time shut in eternal rest. Robert Burns For William Wallace, Scottish patriot, the floodgates of life closed on that terrible day in 1305 when, after a cynical mock trial at Westminster Hall in London, he was dragged through the streets as a treacherous outlaw to barbarous execution at Smithfield. Edward I of England wanted the destruction of Wallace's name and reputation as well as physical presence, but inadvertently created a hero and martyr. The name of William Wallace as freedom fighter takes on immense fascination and significance at certain times, not only for Scots, but for many abroad. This is one of those times, certainly helped on by a recent hugely successful film and a best-selling biography. This year marks 700 years since Wallace, at Lanark, "first drew sword to free his native land", and instigated the Scottish War of Independence. Over 80 places throughout Scotland claim a direct association with Wallace, reflecting his national campaign and the myths that have grown in his name.

In British myth and legend, apples are most identified with the Island of Avalon, whose name is derived from the Welsh word for apple: afal (pronounced aval). In some cases Avalon is believed to be in the North Atlantic beyond the setting sun, in others it is associated with the town of Glastonbury, Somerset, UK. It is the place where the mortally wounded Arthur is taken to be healed by Morgan le Fee and her sisters. Avalon is a place where there is ever sunlight and warm breezes, the land is lush with vegetation, and the inhabitants never age nor know pain or injury. Some British folklore about apples from the Mystical World Wide Web If the sun could be seen shining through the branches of an apple tree on Christmas day, then the owner, if a farmer, would have a healthy crop the next summer. To insure that this would happen, he would have to put a piece of toast in the fork of the tree or in the largest apple tree in his orchard.

[thus] the black Irish are persons that can count in their heritage, Danish ancestry."

Publication of this paper coincided with publication of the Centre for Human Ecology’s report Who’s a Real Scot? Report of Embracing Multicultural Scotland . The paper provides the scholarly context for pp. 18-19 of that report where it explores “Multiculturalism at the Heart of Scots Nationhood and the Constitution,” and considers the mythological implications that “The ‘Mother of the Nation’ was … Black!” Poetic exploration of these themes may be found in my work, “ The GalGael Peoples of Scotland, St Andrew's Day briefing: Copies of this paper are being sent to all MSPs in the Scottish Parliament prior to Saint Andrew's Day, 30 November in 2000. The covering letter will draw attention to the leading recommendation of the Parekh Report, The Future of Multi-Ethnic Britain (Profile Books, 2000), which urges "rethinking the national story and national identity." It says: "Many of the currently dominant stories in Britain need to be re-thought, for they omit large sections of the population. Britain is a recent creation, not ancient, and colonialism and empire were integral to its making..."
