Last July (2011) in Swansea, Alun Ffred Jones AM, Minister for Heritage, launched the Archwilio project at the Treftadaeth Conference. The system gives access to over 100,000 records maintained by the four Welsh archaeological trusts. The Minister observed: Wales is the first country in Britain that has made all its archaeological records available online. Archwilio will be a tremendous asset not only for the people of Wales but also for those further afield who have an interest in the rich archaeology and cultural heritage of our country

He added that he was delighted to see independent organisations developing systems that will contribute towards addressing some of the aims set out in his The Welsh Historic Environment Strategic Statement, published in 2009.

What is Archwilio?

Archwilio is the online access system to the Historic Environment Records (HERs) of Wales. The system has been developed through a partnership of the four Welsh Archaeological Trusts to provide wider public access to this valuable resource. We believe that the dissemination of information leading to a wider understanding of our cultural heritage and historic environment is the most effective conservation tool. Archwilio translates as to explore, examine or audit and therefore encapsulates the use of the HERs in relation to the historic environment.

The four regional historic environment records compiled and maintained by the four Welsh Archaeological Trusts (WATs) aim to provide a comprehensive catalogue of archaeological and historical sites and finds of all periods throughout Wales. They offer a unique opportunity to investigate the heritage of Wales. Currently, about 100,000 individual entries are held by the four regional records, which are continually up-dated and expanded as new information becomes available. The HERs fulfil a wide variety of functions including assisting in the positive management and presentation of the historic landscape, planning control, and as a source for input to local history, conservation and tourism projects.

The HER covers all aspects of human activity in the landscape from early prehistory to the twentieth century without prejudice. Details of well- and lesser-known sites can be found, in addition to records generated by archaeological projects undertaken in the area. If you are interested in researching your local area, or finding out more about a particular historical period, this is a good place to start.

The Orkney Temple Pic: BBC

On New Year’s Day, the BBC showed a program in the History of Britain series with Neil Oliver about the newly-discovered 5,000 year old Temple on Orkney. Built 500 years before the iconic monument of Stonehenge. The temple is opening new windows onto the beliefs of Neolithic people, turning the map of ancient Britain upside down. This is a vast site of undisturbed archaeology, set within one of the most important ancient landscapes in the world.

Already the site is revealing a series of incredible finds including the first ever discovery of Neolithic painted wall decorations, and even the pigments and paint pots used by Stone Age artists.

All the new archaeological evidence, and the wonders of special effects, has now been used to create a 3-D world of the entire temple, allowing Neil to walk inside in a bid to understand just how it might have been used. [BBC]

More amazing clips from this series can be found in the series clips library on the BBC website.

The Ness of Brodgar

The Daily Mail reports that a 5000-year-old temple in Orkney could be more important than Stonehenge, according to archaeologists. The site, known as the Ness of Brodgar, was investigated by BBC2 documentary A History of Ancient Britain, with presenter Neil Oliver describing it as ‘the discovery of a lifetime’.

So far the remains of 14 Stone Age buildings have been excavated, but thermal geophysics technology has revealed that there are 100 altogether, forming a kind of temple precinct. Until now Stonehenge was considered to have been the centre of Neolithic culture, but that title may now go to the Orkney site, which contains Britain’s earliest known wall paintings.

Oliver said:

‘The excavation of a vast network of buildings on Orkney is allowing us to recreate an entire Stone Age world.

‘It’s opening a window onto the mysteries of Neolithic religion.’

Experts believe that the site will give us insights into what Neolithic people believed about the world and the universe.

Nick Card, an archaeologist from the University of the Highlands and Islands, said:

‘It’s an archaeologist’s dream site. The excitement of the site never fades. This site is a one-off.’

Professor Mark Edmonds from the University of York, meanwhile, describes the excavation as ‘a site of international importance’.

Some parts of the temple are 800 years older than Stonehenge, which lies 500 miles to the south in Wiltshire.

The site is very close to the Ring of Brodgar stone circle and the standing stones of Stenness and is surrounded by a wall believed to have been 10-feet high.

One of the most famous sources of Scottish lore and mythology is the Carmina Gadelica (“Songs of the Gaels” I think) which can be read online at Sacred Texts. The wonderful version online at Sacred Texts has the Gaelic and English versions side by side. We have already used sections from this massive two-volume tome in our shows and plan to use much more as we focus on the Scottish myths in the future.It is fantastic news to find out that the Carmina is estimated to be only a tenth of the lore and knowledge that Alexander Carmichael collected, and many of Carmichael’s lost note-books have been prepared for online publication by researchers at the University of Edinburgh. In June 2011, the BBC reported that:

The notebooks of the Scottish folklore pioneer Alexander Carmichael have been prepared for publication. It will be the first time Carmichael’s work has been available in its entirety. From 1860, he spent 50 years collecting legends, songs, curses and oral history from Gaelic-speakers.

Researchers and archivists have worked for two years preparing the notes for publication by the University of Edinburgh. Carmichael’s work has led to him being likened to the brothers Grimm in Germany.

His volume Carmina Gadelica, published in 1900, is estimated to have included only a tenth of his original research material. Senior researcher Dr Donald William Stewart said:

Alexander Carmichael tirelessly, even obsessively, recorded the culture, lore and beliefs of his native Scottish highlands.

Folklore Jukebox

By the end of his life in 1912, he was both Celtic guru and folklore jukebox, the internationally-recognised authority on Scottish Gaelic songs, stories, traditions and beliefs.

Carmichael’s voluminous papers, now preserved in Edinburgh University library, form one of the foremost folklore collections in the world.

Carmichael carried out his research while working as a tax collector on Lewis, Argyll, Uist and the west highlands. Researchers said the transcription of his notes was hindered by his “notoriously bad handwriting”. The work has been published online at the Carmichael Watson project website.

The Carmichael Watson Project

The Carmichael Watson collection in Edinburgh University Library, centred on the papers of the pioneering folklorist Alexander Carmichael (1832-1912), is the foremost collection of its kind in the country, a treasure-chest of stories, songs, customs, and beliefs from the Gaelic-speaking areas of Scotland. It offers us fundamental insights into the creation of Carmichael’s greatest work Carmina Gadelica, an anthology of Hebridean charms, hymns, and songs, and a key text in the ‘Celtic Twilight’ movement.

The value of the collection goes far beyond literary studies. It offers exciting potential for interdisciplinary cooperation between local and scholarly communities, for collaborative research in history, theology, literary criticism, philology, place-names, archaeology, botany and environmental studies.

Through cataloguing, indexing, transcribing, translating, digitisation, and conservation, this project aims to open up and make accessible this important collection to the academic and broader community.

What wonderful news! There is so much research information available in the Project’s data on their website that you could lose hours just browsing through it and learning of Carmichael’s life and the places and people that he visited. Some of the notebooks have wonderful summaries of subject, place, theme and family (along with a map) as well as an image or transcript of the text. Some images I had trouble loading and some had no transcript (I assume this was because of the difficulty in reading Carmichael’s hand-writing!) and some as yet have not been scanned! Ongoing work then

A Connemara archaeologist says that the recent discovery of two stone axes in Galway city and county points to a ‘major’ hunter-gatherer presence on the Corrib catchment up to 9,000 years ago. The axes were found in Ballybane and in the garden of a private house in Clifden, Co Galway (Ireland), and are the latest in a number of significant finds recorded by archaeologist Michael Gibbons in the last couple of months

The Clifden axe was unearthed by Velta Conneely in her garden- the second such axe she has discovered there in eight years, Mr Gibbons noted.

Mr Gibbons has recently recorded a large court tomb overlooking Streamstown Bay in Connemara, where the earliest evidence for human settlement in west Connemara has been unearthed. He has also located two previously unmapped stone forts and a fulacht fiadh, or ancient cooking place, between Leenane and Croagh Patrick; a stone fort near
Ballynahinch and an oyster midden at Ballynakill bay, both in Co Galway; a cashel near Casla, Co Galway; and a number of arrowheads on Inishbofin island. Continue Reading »

Knotwork Stained Glass Pic: Three Swans Studios

We welcome our Guest Blogger today, Tim Lazaro, with this fascinating piece giving his views on Celtic Knotwork. He says: The Celtic knot is perhaps the most identifiable of all Celtic art. The knot work is designed in a way that has neither a beginning or an end to the lines and are designed with more in mind than to be pleasing to the eye. They are symbols which show us how we can all be part of the never ending cycle of life and where we add our own strand in the fabric of time. The symbolic meanings attached to knot work may or may not have any truth to their historical basis though and is not concrete as there are no written records of what the various Celtic knots were originally created for.

The knots are not designed to be merely pleasing to the eyes. They are also symbols that can show us how we are all part of a never ending cycle of life, where we each add our particular strand in the fabric of time and space.

These designs are not only exquisite and beautiful…they also compel the beholder to ascribe the knot meaning, even though the Celtic knot meanings may or may not have any historical basis in fact, and their meanings lie in the eyes of their creators. The symbolic meanings are however abstract in the sense that they relate to the universe and life rather than human emotions or the relationships we have with one another.

The endless strands indicate the bonds that tie us together and as each generation passes, the weave gets stronger and larger as this happens the Celtic knot patterns get more complex. The strands begin to bring themselves back on one another; much like the forthcoming generations will continue to bring the next chapter of generations after that.

The interwoven lines in the Celtic knot are symbolic to the how we are interwoven with those around us and how we continue on into eternity just as others do. They are a reminder of how we are all wrapped up with those who will be joining us in the life and in the life after. Each loop in the Celtic knot is individual and cannot be separated from the whole, just as our relationships in life do the same.

Spiritual Beliefs

It is believed that the interlacing of the strands is a protection against evil. Those who are joined together can defeat evil more so than when we are on our own. The more intricate the interlacing is, the more powerful the protection.

Celtic knots have also been referred to as the endless knot or mystical knot because of their esoteric or spiritual meaning which alludes to beginnings and endings. On looking at a Celtic knot is not easy to find where the strands begins and where they end. This translates into our primal selves and how we contemplate the infinite cycles of rebirth in both the physical and ethereal realms.

On a less spiritual note, Celtic knots also relate to the knots own endless nature. The Celtic knot has an infinite path and because of this it can also represent a life cycle which is uninterrupted. Celtic knots can be used as charms to ward off sickness or ill fortune which might disrupt or interrupt our peaceful, stable existence. Celtic knots were used as an emblem and were either worn or placed in a home.

The Celtic Trinity knot represents unending love whether it is between lovers or spouses or between friends, and even the love that exists between a father and a daughter, parent and child. This knot is a fine example of one of the Celtic love symbols.

Mythology

There exists a myth in Celtic tradition which tells of a woman called Bridget and her father. Bridget sat and meditated close to her dying father. As she meditated, she began weaving a Celtic knot using rushes she found near the river. Rushes were common materials found in all Irish homes and which were used to cover the floor. While she was weaving her father noticed that she was making a knot, he asked her to explain what she was doing and after she told him the significance of those Celtic knot designs, he was moved to accept Christianity and was baptized before he died.

Archaeologists at Pinhoe Pic: BBC

An ancient Iron Age settlement has been uncovered by archaeologists working for South West Water in Devon, the BBC reported in August. It was found during an archaeological evaluation of the route of a new water mains between Beacon Hill reservoir, near Exeter, and the town of Cranbrook. Archaeologists were investigating a large prehistoric enclosure below the ground which was discovered by carrying out surveys from the air in 1996.

Among the finds were shale bracelets and an iron-working furnace. Excavations showed the enclosure would originally have had a massive bank inside a ditch.

Days before the JCB’s

James Field, South West Water’s (SWW) ecologist and environmental planner, said it was an important settlement:

“Someone went to a lot of trouble to construct this ditch in the days before JCBs. In the lower layers of the ditch we have found a pile of broken bracelets made of shale – an oily, soft rock. Within the enclosure was an Iron Age iron-working furnace, which again is rare in the county.

“It is probable that the shale itself comes from as far as Kimmeridge in Dorset, which poses important questions about the significance and nature of this enclosure.”

Devon County Council archaeologist Frances Griffith said:

“It is of great interest to see this site partially excavated.

This Winter Solstice event is 5 years old and involves the revival of recorded traditions in Cornwall but in particular, West Penwith. It originated as an idea to have an event in Penzance to ‘balance’ with the Midsummer’s Golowan Festival.

Reflecting the ‘death’ and ‘rebirth’ of the sun, Rivers of Fire are created, lantern-lit processions from different areas of the town, meeting at the highest point, Lescudjack Hillfort, an ancient fortress site. Here, the community gathers to watch The Lord of Misrule light the beacon, fireplay, dancing, drumming and the magical, mischievous Turkey Rhubarb Band. The site is lit by natural light from numerous lanterns and torches, crafted in the previous week at community workshops.

All return to Chapel Street in one ‘River of Fire’ where the guising, music, acrobatics, singing and mayhem begins, masked and dressed in tattered or ‘mock posh’ attire, as recorded in the history books. Later, another band-led torch lit procession begins from the top of Chapel Street, leading to a lower beacon behind the Barbican for community dancing, music and the Chalking of the Mock ceremony.

And, in early December, Montol chairman, Simon Reed, said that Montol’s main event is shaping up nicely.

“Hundreds of musicians will join the main procession from St John’s Hall at 6pm including guests from all over Cornwall. We are very excited about this year’s event – despite financial pressures we are still very much on track to give the people of Penzance a fantastic celebration this year.

After the procession to Lescudjack Hillfort where the Montol beacon will be lit, Chapel Street will be closed to traffic.

There will be street entertainment from 10 local groups , including music, dance and circus acts while the Cornish dance group Kemysk will be playing in the Union Hotel from 8pm.

The Montol festival group would like to thank Arts Council South West, Feast and Penzance Town Council for their generous support this year.

Penglaz, the Cornish ‘Obby ‘Oss

Penglaz Pic: Cornish Witchcraft

Penglaz is the historical name traditionally associated with mast or pole style ‘Obby ‘Osses in the Penwith region of Cornwall. They are first described in the 19th century following mummers, dancers and guizers during the Christmas/Midwinter festive period. Modern Penglaz ‘Osses were revived in 1992. The original revived Penglaz was introduced by Cornish piper Merv Davey and appeared at Penzance’s newly revived Midsummer Golowan festival. The original Penglaz was later renamed and accompanies the traditional Cornish music group Pyba in their guizing performances.

The Penglaz Teazer role, introduced by Golowan in the 90′s, may in fact be a traditional one as the ‘Oss is recorded as having been lead by a ‘master’, there is even confusion amongst antiquarians whether it was this ‘master’ or the ‘Oss who originally bore the name Penglaz.

The tradition of Penglaz making an outing during the Midwinter period was revived in 2007 with modern Penglaz ‘Osses and their Teazers appearing at Penzance’s Midwinter Montol festival, with ferstival goers dressed in guize and mock-formal attire. Sadly, Penglaz ‘Osses made their last Montol appearances at the festival in 2009.

As mentioned yesterday, here is the full trailer for The Spirit of Albion the Movie, a film about hope, inspired by and including the music of Damh the Bard. Due to be released on DVD in May 2012. Now you can really get a feeling for where the film is going and what it is about – superb stuff!

As you know this movie was inspired by the works of Damh the Bard and the Director, Gary Andrews, has put the whole story together into something new and astounding, something with a powerful message for today’s youth and we are so excited to see the film’s launch sometime around the end of 2011.

The Albion Diaries tell the Behind the Scenes story of the production of the Spirit of Albion movie. Marq English of MEV Productions is producing these video diaries of the film’s production, so you can get some idea of what’s coming and how it has all been put together.

Video Diary Filmed and Edited by Marq English.

The CMP Logo

We’d like to wish all of our listeners and readers a very happy, prosperous and love-filled 2012! The Wheel has turned again and those New Year’s Resolutions, those promises to do something advantageous, are probably beginning to take effect by now! Some for the better and some for the worse Did I really promise I’d do that? How much weight have I got to lose!!!?? So we try to avoid resolutions on New Year’s Eve or Day – they generally get broken anyway and that’s no good for how you feel when facing a challenge.

The Tradition of Resolves

It’s a funny tradition really – I mean, why choose this day to make life-changing choices on? I can’t think of any mythological link to the tradition that might point to a Celtic link for Resolutions – they generally seem to have addressed each problem when the problem arose. There are many traditions associated with the New Year, such as first-footing and the particularly Scottish Hogmanay but these are more in keeping with purification and blessings. Saying goodbye to the old year and welcoming in the new. According to a survey carried out earlier in the year, the five most popular resolutions are going to be:

1. Be financially-savvy
2. Read at least one book a month
3. Eat properly
4. Get enough sleep
5. Keep a journal of awesome moments

[Source: Wiki]

I think the only one of those that I manage regularly is the sleeping!

What are our plans for 2012?

So what are we planning for the next year and a day? Well, as you know, our shows has been somewhat erratic over the last two years owing to my health problems, but as I continue to build up strength we are planning to become more regular and reliable with our shows. It still continues to surprise me how weak I actually am – apparently it can take up to 18 months for your cells to recover from having a chemo-beating! How can you be tired at a cellular level? Very strange

Anyway, it is a continual joy to us both as my strength increases to be able to do more and more! We can go out and do things together, which leads me on to talk about one of the things we are hoping to be able to do for you this year. In our search to understand how modern Celts live and how they link to the old stories and the mythology, we hope to be able to talk to some influential people in the field and bring you those interviews.

We’re trying to divide the jobs amongst ourselves now to make sure they all get done. I’m writing the scripts fort the new Welsh shows (and the first two are already under my belt! Yay!), Ruthie is working hard on the Holiday Specials and we’ve got Carina trying to fill in all the gaps!

As well as that, we’ve got two Special shows planned all about the Spirit of Albion movie that’s coming out at Beltane. We’ll be talking to the actors and some of the people behind the scenes and trying to give you some feeling of the amazing experience this movie is going to be. To have been involved in the filming was an enlightening experience for us, but more than that there were so many of those ‘magical’ moments in the filming, that the feeling is certain to come across in the final film! We are also hoping to talk to the Director, Gary Andrews, and the Songster, Damh the Bard, about the sources, the inspiration that set the film going in the first place. That should be fun

The highly skilled production team have released a wonderful new trailer for the film for the New Year, and if you haven’t seen that already, make sure you check back tomorrow, because we’ll be sure to bring you that as well.

We’ve also got a nice backlog of wonderful music, stories and non-fiction books to bring you some superb pieces from! I’m working on some more artwork for the App, along with some new Appisodes only available to App owners to keep you guys happy as well So much good stuff – you won’t be able to believe it! At least, that’s our hope and we keep pinching ourselves to make sure It’s going to be a wonderful 2012 for us all!
