Episode 20 : The Care Of The Dead

Death has always been a mournful time. The transition from one world into another. In Ireland, the rituals and practices that surrounded a funeral and burial were both grand and precise. There was a respect there for the spirit of the dead person, and care was taken to ensure their passing was a marked event, grounded in both grief and celebration. The wake, the dressing of the body, and the digging of the grave all followed a line of tradition that allowed the community to experience their sorrow and protect the souls of the departed on their journey onwards.

    When you speak of a child's death, funeral it makes me think of time as a boy and new Catholic of sixteen my friend much older than I was lost he baby of less than one year. We went to Our Lady Of Sorrows church in Santa Barbara California we knelt down at the Pieta and prayed. The funeral hosts was grief stuck although he'd see much.

    That was just tremendous. I saw bits and pieces of these customs being continued in my years in Ireland and it was wonderful to recognise a little of them.

    I heard a banshee last Saturday in Broad daylight. On my way to A place l visited S. Killian's Well. The Gate to the well was open ... which is unusual. I made my offerings and said my prayers. As l turned to leave, l heard a keening sound in the road hedge. I couldn't see anything but the sound moved north uphill. This is what happened the last time l heard a banshee. Anyway... l thought it was probably a cat. I thought nothing of it til next day, when l was told first thing a family Friend passed away. RIP.

    I know why...so the Cat Sidhe doesn't get them! Keep the catnip far away....and the fire down. And a mirror is as open a doorway as a barn door for the Cat Sidhe.
