Saturn

The holiday I refer to as Samhuine is celebrated in many cultures around the world, though of course with some variation. Themes are generally similar, though. Here are some of the other incarnations of Samhuine:

Samhuine / Samhuinn - Scots Gaelic. Let’s start here, and let’s start with what...

Dionysus Day

Does anyone out there do the little monthly devotional days on the 13th of each month?

(Ani DiFranco & Greg Brown)

PERSEPHONE Hades, my husband, Hades, my light Hades, my darkness If you had heard how he sang tonight You'd pity poor Orpheus! All of his sorrow won't fit in his chest It just burns like a fire in the pit of his chest And his heart is a bird on a spit in his chest How long, how long, how long?

HADES How long? Just as long as Hades is King Nothing comes of wishing on stars And nothing comes of the songs people sing However sorry they are Give them a piece and they'll take it all Show them the crack and they'll tear down the wall Lend them an ear and the Kingdom will fall The Kingdom will fall for a song

PERSEPHONE What does he care for the logic of kings? The laws of your underworld? It is only for love that he sings! He sings for the love of a girl

HADES You and your pity don't fit in my bed You just burn like a fire in the pit of my bed And I turn like a bird on a spit in my bed How long, how long, how long?

PERSEPHONE How long? Just as long as I am your wife It's true the earth must die But then the earth comes back to life And the sun just goes on rising

HADES & PERSEPHONE And how does the sun even fit in the sky? It just burns like a fire in the pit of the sky And the earth is a bird on a spit in the sky How long, how long, how long?
