"O’ mighty crone of ancient lore,
Shall I sing you a tune?
For my people wished to honor,
One as fierce as you.”

A-huum, huu-huum

“O, Cailleach, what grand old strength,
You bear within your form,
You embrace all the graces of winter,
So pretty is your frostbitten hair
So nice it is, would you sit down,
I’d love to sing you some more.”

A-roar, ro-roar

“O, Cailleach, what’s this you say,
Your lids droop wth sleep,
Then allow me, fair crone,
To take you to your home,
A cave alone which could be warm,
In the face of eternal winter,
There, you may rest,
And collect your wood in an hour.”

A-oor, oo-oor

“What’s this, dear Cailleach,
You look far too pale and wan,
My people would not forgive me,
If you I let to stray,
Stay and rest and grow well again,
The wood will not move,
Let me play a lullaby for you-
I think it may sound similar,
So let me soothe you into sleep,
And make your worries for today be forgotten…”

So, the Trickster packed his flute,
And left the slumbering Crone,
And he, sun-child, headed west,
Back to his Long-house People.

So, yeah, this is a place where I will archive stuff about winter festivals - links, art, poetry, and the like - that will carry over into the next Festival of Frost. It is also just a place to hang out - talk about knitting, or cookie recipes, or just randomness.

Hugs to you all, and remember the Trisphee Rules and All

Morning. ...-grumbles something about studying-

[Lawtan]

*Offers caffeine to Espy*

[Nightmare]

I almost wish I could deal with finals again.
Not having a job in months is driving me nuts. @_ @

[Lawtan]

Eh, I am glad they are over for me. Time to get some stuff together here.

[Fulkth]

Hi guys!

I figured I should stop by and check out this shiny new thread! :)

[Potironette]

Wahaha I'm so happy my exams are over for the week, and probably for until after Xmas break. Though granted I have lots of projects to do @~@
My midterms are in January

[Lawtan]

*Waves at Fulkth* How's it going?

Also, January midterm...eep...

[Nightmare]

I have returned after curling up in my bed. - u-
Not having central heat sucks a bit. I'm worried
of keeping my heater on just because it costs a
ton to run.

Yeah, I'm sure it is nice for them to be over, though.
Extra stress is never a fun thing. |D

*Offers tea and cookies to everyone*

[Potironette]

*noms on tea and cookies*
Do you knit? I can do a basic stitch and the other one (a purl or something?) but that's it.

[Fulkth]

Yum! I love cookies!

You are such a great host, Lawton! n-n

I remember one Christmas, the hostess slept the entire day and I was left to entertain myself. I was bored to tears. I also could not take a shower because I was not provided any towels.

[Lawtan]

About the same level. I am better with leatherworking and woodcarving.

Oh, dear.

[Potironette]

Leatherworking? What is that? Woodcarving? Is that carving little things or big things?
