Sacrifice At Solstice
I am of Scottish extraction, and so I followed my natural inclination to usescottish mythology as the basis for my worship after my initiation.
http://www.widdershins.org/vol6iss2/01.htm

Extractions: When you step away from the confinement of mainstream religion, you never know where you are going to end up. I certainly didn't suspect how twisted the road would be when I declared myself a pantheist at the age of 20. Less than six years later, I was initiated into an Eclectic-Gardenarian tradition and became officially a priestess of the Goddess. I am of Scottish extraction, and so I followed my natural inclination to use Scottish mythology as the basis for my worship after my initiation. Very shortly thereafter, my husband and priest came to me to interpret a recurring dream he had. This dream concerned his participation in a ceremony called the Sun Dance, which many Central Plains tribes do. He believed that he was being called to participate in this ceremony, but that white people were "not allowed" to do this. I reminded him of something that he always said to me, "The gods never give us anything we can't handle." In the way of all good things, the right person appeared in our lives in the form of a Lakota Sun Dancer who was willing to teach us what we needed to know and take us to a Sun Dance in South Dakota that was open to non-Lakota people. In support of my husband, I attended many sweat lodge ceremonies and pipe ceremonies leading up to the Sun Dance. I supported him at the Sun Dance and basically did my own thing for the rest of the year. I have no Native American ancestry that I know of, and I wasn't really interested in Native American spirituality, but my wishes turned out not to be relevant. While attending my second Sun Dance, I had a vision to dance in gratitude for every year that one of my friends survived with HIV. This set my feet squarely on the Red Road, as it is commonly known, and I have not looked back.
Dick Gaughan/ Outlaws & Dreamers

http://www.appleseedrec.com/dickgaughan/outlaws/

Extractions: S cottish singer-songwriter-guitarist Dick Gaughan describes , his fifth and latest Appleseed CD, as a bit of a departure from what I usually get up to in the studio. Its pretty much just me voice and guitar and Brian McNeill on fiddle and concertina on two tracks. I decided I should concentrate on getting the performances and spirit right and go for as live a feel as possible. G aughans previous recordings in a 30-year career include those as a member of the Celtic bands The Boys of the Lough, Five Hand Reel and Clan Alba and over a dozen albums as a solo or occasional duo artist. His music has never been accused of slickness or commercialism, and the sparse approach of provides a particularly bracing dose of undiluted Gaughan, one of the worlds most stirring musicians. I n the new CDs liner notes, Gaughan defines outlaws as those who refuse to conform to societys conventions and prejudices. By that definition, the material (and recording method) on could be regarded as a tribute to those outlaws and their quest for personal and universal freedom through activism and self-determination. W hether the songs on the CD are original or interpreted, most carry freedom as their subtext. In the version here of Woody Guthries

http://www.estateagencyextra.co.uk/editions/eae-03/h037.htm

Extractions: Although. arguably, a side issue in the overall scheme of things, the recently announced OFT Review has reopened the debate about the merits of introducing the Scottish System to England and Wales. This is surprising as the idea was assessed, comprehensively, in the research work behind . It was then dismissed as an unworkable suggestion. As has happened after several previous investigations. and more often through the frustration of having to organise multiple surveys on homes which are then sold to other bidders! Although David Perkins, the author of this commentary, admits to never having sold a house in Scotland, when President of the National Association of Estate Agents he established the NAEA's Scottish Working Party on which he then served for several years while, in terms of the Property Misdescriptions Act, he has attended three Cautioned Interviews in Scotland and acted as an Expert Witness in two prosecutions where in both cases the estate agencies were acquitted. When the market is busy, sellers in Scotland are advised to set closing dates for offers. Then the potential buyers face the real prospect of having to pay for several survey reports before they are lucky with one property and finally have their offer accepted. This may well have been achieved by placing a desperately high bid well over all the others and also well above what the market would really justify. In such a scenario arguably the seller is lucky: the buyers relieved, though perhaps defrauded would be better word.

Extractions: Home About Contact Search ... Fairy Flag Something else not to bump into on a dark night ... the very unlovely Andrew Neil Trust me, you do not want to bump into one of these wee buggers on a dark night. Redcaps are the most vicious and malevolent kind of fairy and are amongst the most terrifying creatures in Scottish mythology. Similar to the Scandinavian "Troll", the Redcap is an ugly piece of work even by evil goblin standards, and would usually be found haunting ruined towers and castles where particularly wicked deeds had taken place. The Redcaps' name came from their charmingly endearing habit of dyeing their caps in the blood of their human victims. They were physically very powerful and could not be overcome by any normal human means. They could, however, be repelled, vampire-like, with the sign of the cross or a Bible. Bear that tip in mind next time you visit one of Scotland's many castles, and for godssake get out of there by dusk.

http://www.heartoscotland.com/Categories/CelticMythology.htm

Extractions: When we consider ancient Celtic mythology and Celtic religion, we are confronted with two rather conflicting mental images. On the one hand, there is the mighty, ferocious Celtic warrior, famed and feared throughout the Roman empire, fighting naked or painted blue, screaming like a Berserker, and cutting off the heads of the enemy. The Irish epics replace headhunting with cattle raiding. Warriors sit around a smoky hall, feasting and drinking and telling tales - who is the mightiest? The most famous story, the Tain Bo Cuailnge, tells of such a cattle raid. The Scottish Highlanders made their living and took their entertainment from stealing their neighbors' cattle for well over a thousand years. On the other hand, Celtic mythology is incorporated into the popular image of the druids. Merlin in his tall hat turning Wat into a fish or a squirrel. A powerful nature religion peopled with druids and bards who spent as long learning their craft as Buddha spent under the banyan tree seeking nirvana. A religion of magic and wonder with one foot in our world and the other in the land of faery. This "Disney" version of druidism ignores the bloodthirstiness of the Celtic pantheon and the human sacrifice involved in their propitiation, often by fire and, possibly, by boiling alive. In ancient Gaul, until Roman Christianization, the Celts decorated their homes with the heads of the enemy.
