Supernatural Ballads
Tuesday, 13 October, 2009
4:30pm - 5:30pm Tinyville Library, Caledon Tanglewood,
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Caledon%20Tanglewood/23/214/23/
Folklorist Afsenah Metaluna will guide us in a new exploration each month; with illustrative stories and her own commentary she'll expose to our understanding some facet of the rich and varied folklore of the British Isles. These lectures will feature brave heroics and wonder tales from the Celtic regions, Welsh lore including the tales of Arthur and Merlin, stories of the wise and the uncanny from Scotland, and folklore from England comprised of local legends that combine references to beliefs and customs and aspects of daily life, particularly rural life as well as the English ballads and broadsides, which have a strong tradition of their own
This month, we will hear (and hear about) ballads of the strange and spooky things that happen when our world touches the Other World, the place always just out of sight but never far away. Expect to hear about enchanted knights, kidnapped mortals, wild whooping invisible hunters, fairy queens, and all manner of marvels!
