  5. 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!

  10. This Saturday, January 18, #McMenamins Cornelius Pass Roadhouse is hosting its 8th annual #Wassail #Cider Fest, based on the old English tradition of orchard wassailing to “awaken” the apple orchards. Of course it wouldn’t be a cider festival without plenty of cider to drink as well, with over 20 cideries represented and pouring their wares.

  16. A snapshot from a #Hoodening and #wassail day in Sandwich, #EastKent, with #Hoodeners from Deal and Canterbury, stags & modern Whitstable beasts (May Day, #hoodenhorse replicas, #MariLwyd). All of these are due to appear in an exhibition at #Maidstone Museum from February, and are featured in the linked #OzaruBooks publication out now.

  17. I have wassailed the apple trees and animal sheds in past dark winter nights. There are many different drinks and ways to celebrate this. As she says.. Magic is a personal business. Whatever you do, do it for love and fun.
