Yesterday's #wassailing.
Led by the #Eynsham #Morris, villagers processed through the orchard banging pots and pans to scare evil spirits, and singing to wake the apple trees and encourage them to produce a good harvest.Spicy cider was readily available to everyone present, warmed on a roaring fire. And toast was hung in the trees - a gift for the good spirits. The birds will be pleased. 😀
Long may this ancient #folktradition continue!

@hoodeners That's so cool! I like very much how the spirit of the horse lives on in so many #folkcustoms and ancient #folktraditions

A bit of fun for a Friday... Last week we went to #AbbotsBromley, #Staffordshire, to witness the extraordinary & ancient #HornDance, a #FolkDance that has taken place for perhaps 800+ years. I've wanted to see this for years!
One of the reindeer antlers has been radio carbon dated to 1065CE.

Fantastic to see the wassail back in Chepstow today to bring in the New Year, the blessing of the orchard and the Mari Lwyd.
40 seconds of Morris for your enjoyment.
"Here we come a-wassailing
Among the leaves so green;
Here we come a-wandering
So fair to be seen.Love and joy come to you,
And to you your wassail too;
And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year
And God send you a Happy New Year."#FolkCustoms #Wassail #Chepstow #FolkDancing #Morris #MariLwyd

Another old #Austrian #tradition are #Barbarazweigerl - #twigs (Zweige or, diminutive, Zweigerl) from the #garden cut on St. Barbara’s Day (4 Dec) and brought into the house. They are meant to flower by #Christmas. The vase is #GmundnerKeramik.

Perfect Boxing Day, out to Grenoside for the famed longsword and mulled wine, then the race over to Dungworth for the last Royal village carols of the year. All on a bright blue day. Hope you’re having a good day, wherever you are. #folk #folkcustoms #tradition #grenoside #dungworth #longsword #villagecarols #sheffield #ritual

A 'Lost' Christmas Custom of the North:
"They haven't gone guising here for a long time," said the old folk of Cambo in 1922.
"There was no 'guisering' at Christmas 1903," wrote Hastings Neville in Ford in his notes of that year.
'Guising' (apparently derived from 'disguising', referring to the costumes and masks worn) was the local version of the Mummers Plays that exist elsewhere.
In both Ford, in the far north of the county, and Cambo, 40 miles to the south, we have records of the old custom, which happened in the days leading up to Christmas. Both apparently involved the key character of a doctor, but in Ford, Revd Neville has preserved the entirety of the script, including 'King George', a young hero, Goliath, and a battle, and finishing with the rhyme:
"Your bottles are full of whisky,
Your barrels are full of beer,
I wish you a Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year."Neville puts the dying of the custom down to the reduction of young people in the villages in an age of increased mechanisation and rural depopulation. But when I was growing up in Northumberland in the 1990s, 'guising' was what we called Trick or Treating at Halloween! Maybe it hasn't so much died as shifted.
