Weretoad and I had a lovely Winter Solstice! I was so excited and in a festive mood. While he was away at work, I finished wrapping gifts, put on some Solstice music, and lit the tree. It’s the only night we leave it on and it’s a great reminder of what we’re celebrating. I alsoContinue reading “A Holly, Jolly Solstice”

We’ve finally made it to the 21st day of December and my series of Solstice music!

Grey Catsidhe’s 21 Days of Solstice Music!
Goodness, I’ve been really delinquent this time! I apologize for the lateness. As usual, I’ve been really busy working on items for the craft show this (THIS) weekend. I also celebrated my birthday which kept me away from the computer. Anyway, here are some Winter Solstice tunes! First off, the Daws of ADF composed aContinue reading “Grey Catsidhe’s 21 Days of Solstice Music!”

Another chunk of songs for your Solstice enjoyment! We’ll start with something more serious. This one was a suggestion from a reader (onelittlepagan) – a Paganized version of “In the Bleak Midwinter” by Craig Olson. The images of an actual Solstice celebration are beautiful. What a lovely home! Thanks for sharing, onelittlepagan! I had onlyContinue reading “Grey Catsidhe’s 21 Days of Solstice Music!”

Tumakhunter sent me a suggestion for my 21 Days of Solstice Music series – a lovely Paganized version of “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.” It’s called “Make Ye Merry Gentlemen” and is by a group called Lhiannan.

Grey Catsidhe’s 21 Days of Solstice Music!
Don’t you love those traditional, non-denominational winter songs? They can make us nostalgic, connect us to family and friends who celebrate Christmas, and help us find the positive in all the snow we have to shovel. Up here in the North Country, we have a lot! Be that as it may, I love leaving myContinue reading “Grey Catsidhe’s 21 Days of Solstice Music!”

I’m a little behind in posting Solstice music, and for that I apologize. I’ve had a lot going on – namely preparing for a craft show and filling out a grad school application. Enjoy a triple dose of Yuletide cheer! http://www.youtube.com/v/HmFmkhHyNjg?fs=1&hl=en_US Faith and the Muse – “A Winter Wassail.” I adore this tune. Solstice isn’tContinue reading “Grey Catsidhe’s 21 Days of Solstice Music!”
Grey Catsidhe’s 21 Days of Solstice Music!
It’s December 2nd and we inch ever closer to the Solstice! Today I’m posting one of my favorite holiday songs. While technically a Christmas song, it appeals to my Irish blood as it’s by the Pogues and has the sound of an old Irish bar ballad. “Fairytale of New York” tells of the failed relationshipContinue reading “Grey Catsidhe’s 21 Days of Solstice Music!”
