This is such a powerful, poignant, and utterly lovely short documentary about an Irish boy who is expected to carry on his grandfather's sheep farm:
The #museum I #volunteer for got accused of introducing children to #paganism by naming a #summer #festival "#Lunasa" (a gaelic summer festival) by #religious #kooks in our #community (They even made #pamphlets!) Yet they partake in all the pagan #Christmas #traditions...religiously...
Dear Friends of old science, 🪸
As we may know, a lot of #science is now soft. 🙃 Sponsored by those interested in commercial, political, military, pharmaceutical, environmental, #nutritional or useless verification. 😱
Fortunately, the old science #schools never abandoned or stopped using #appropriate #technology as it was developed initially from their experiments and success.🧙♀️
Of course, the #chemists, #psychologists, #astronomers and #mathematical #conjurers and others have not all abandoned their roots. Some still name their #discoveries after #ancient #gods, or drive themselves wild on #sacred sciences from all the #stranger #traditions. 💫

Image prompt: authentic
Dall-e2 output description: In the heart of authenticity, even the trees dream in colors unseen. 🌈🌳✨
"Authentic" is the top word of 2023, according to America's oldest dictionary.
My thought on "Embracing Tradition in a Digital Age"
In a time where our lives are increasingly connected with digital advancements and #AI, Merriam-Webster's selection of "#Authentic" as the word of the year resonates deeply. This choice reflects a substantial increase in online searches, underscoring a collective need for genuineness amidst a sea of #digital transformations, #virtual experiences, and let's face it: a ton of made up stuff.
As a #society, we stand at a pivotal crossroads, navigating through layers of #propaganda and fabricated realities that span the globe. In my #Podcast Redefining Society, I often explore the necessity of #progress in all forms and shapes, while emphasizing the importance of grounding our society in #reality and staying true to the core values that define our #cultures, #traditions, and most of all our humanity, or what makes us human anyway... which is now more than ever a topic for profound ethical conversations.
Today, "Authentic" is not just a word; it's a testament to our collective desire to maintain a connection with what is real and tangible. In these times of profound digital change involving generative AI and virtual experiences, the prominence of "Authentic" is a reminder of our innate need for truth and sincerity.
There's a beautiful harmony in embracing both worlds – the exhilaration for what's digital and #futuristic, and the appreciation for what's analog and, yes, perceived as more authentic (up for discussion 🤔). It's about finding balance and ensuring that our digital advancements enhance rather than replace the authentic experiences that form the essence of our human experience.
As we continue to explore this intersection of technology and society, let's remember the value of authenticity. It's more than just a word; it's a guiding principle that can help us navigate the complexities of our modern world.

Wow, some of these are quite foreign to me, though I would say the first item mentioned was quite common in our household growing up: tomato aspic. Secretly I did not like it, but my mom liked to make it, especially when company came over. Here are a few others I don't know: Flying Jacob (from Sweden), Bologna Cake, Pineapple Cheeseball. #recipes #traditions

Calling all food-loving Norwegians! I would really like to know about Christmas #food traditions between Christmas and New Year, not the celebration days themselves. If you had a family/friends party at that time would it be more likely to be in the form of a sit down dinner or more like a help yourself hot/cold buffet table? Thanks lots in advance!

Japan is a sexist society and a society that's slow to change.
I think we all know this and I often point that out on social media.
So, let's be a little positive today.
Five years ago, when my daughter joined the local kid's shishimai (lion dance) group, things were done the "traditional" way.
Why?
"Because that's the way things have always been done."
This is Japan after all.
It meant, among other things, that boys were the only ones allowed to do the lion dance.
Girls were only allowed to play the drums.
Well, five years later here is my daughter holding the lion's head.
There is hope, people. There is hope.
On a side note, I'm so proud of her and all the other kids for yesterday. But especially her, because it was her last matsuri and the first one where she was the lion's head (if my memory is not playing tricks on me).
(my son kicked ass too, but that's for another day, this one is for her)

Dear Fifth Grade Parents and Guardians,
The whole class is so excited for the upcoming #holidays.
In honor of our #diverse student population, we will be having a special “Holidays Around the World” party in class Fourthday afternoon (tomorrow). As you may have heard from your child, for the last two weeks we have been having class discussions on our #holiday #traditions, and in particular, symbolic foods and other #customs associated with the new year.

We can’t wait to learn about all of our students’ beautiful #customs!
Maybe your child would love to build a diorama of your family’s Karaite #sukkah…

🧵 1/x #Assomption (#Assumption of Mary) today, is a holiday here in France. In German we have the name "Kräuterweihe" that reminds much better to the #pagan history behind that date. Indeed, it was one of the most important days of agricultural calendars. Here, I talk about the #CulturalHeritage especially in #Alsace, its connection to #nature and even #climateChange - not about the Catholic idea. For #ClimateDiary it's a day which should change the date: weather #traditions don't work anymore.
The '#ideal' #cishet-#structure of #marriages in #India is embedded in Brahmanical #traditions and #caste #endogamy. In order to not replicate this character of #marriage, the #philosophy underlying #Hindu #queer #unions must be a #radical #deviation from the former.

My uncle found an article that connected it to Scottish traditions and emailed it to me. Stonehaven is apparently one of the places you'd need to go to see a similar event. I haven't done that but it was the impetus for me to see Hogmanay in Edinburgh. If they still do this in Alabama I'd like to see it eventually.

The exhibit follows Indigenous peoples in the Muskoka area after their arrival at the end of the last ice age and then continues all the way to the present.
It was curated by a circle of Elders, as well as Indigenous scholars and linguists representing Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabek, Métis and Haudenosaunee people.

Celebrating birthdays must be one of the most self reverential of human customs. Our early ancestors would have no idea when it was other than perhaps around a certain season. Later it must have been more a celebration that you actually survived yet another year. #birthdays #traditions
One of my long-term goals is to bring back the tradition and holiday of Decoration Day. I think giving people a reason to connect to their family, community, ancestors and history might help with some of our current shit.
My hypothesis is that giving people something tangible and local to connect to rather than a vague idea of whiteness may help.

The passing of the box office crown, from film to film, started by Steven Spielberg.
"In 1977, when Star Wars took the “domestic film rentals” crown from Jaws, Steven Spielberg wrote a congratulatory letter to George Lucas and had it printed full page in Variety—a charming move, tastefully done, that kickstarted a tradition amongst filmmakers and studios that continues to this day."

But looking back to San Francisco history to find community traditions to continue, or build on, or develop - beyond the Lotta's Fountain celebration, which is really a bit too governmental to suit my desires - what else is there?
Maybe Emperor Norton?
Maybe we need to build on Emperor Norton, have some sort of Imperial Court gathering once a year, which might be a bit like the London's Pearly Kings and Queens, which seems cool and only started in the 19th Century
And that of course points to some fairly powerful folkloric type events that we do have here that are centered in the LGBTQ community and in particular the drag community, such as the Imperial Court and this past weekend's events in Dolores Park

Another event that comes quite close to some of those weird British folkloric traditions, and the thing that really got me thinking about this stuff, was last weekend's "Bring Your Own Big Wheel" event, which I think is incredibly cool.
I don't really want it to get promoted by the City, by SF Travel or whatever, but I also sort of wish people all over the world knew about it and knew that San Francisco wasn't just a bunch of Tacolicious outlets connected by app hailed serf-mobiles.
It's still too recent to really feel folkloric. But Guy Fawkes Night had to start sometime... if we keep doing - or rather if Frog Gilmore keeps INCREDIBLY GENEROUSLY organizing it year after year, and then gets people to carry on their work - it will age into being a folkloric tradition
Folkloric traditions
For... reasons, i was thinking recently of weird English folkloric traditions, and I've decided we need some here...
Genuinely community driven, kind of wacky and/or a bit anarchic, totally non-commercial type things.
Do we have any? The ones that first sprang to mind were... Critical Mass, which fits the bill pretty well, and SantaCon, which in its original form might have but is now a travesty that I think of as more comparable to frats flipping cars after Big 10 football matches or something. Big yuck.
With the upcoming annual Lotta's Fountain commemoration of the 1906 Earthquake and Fire *and* Guy Fawkes in mind, maybe we could have bonfires around the City? Tho I suspect the Fire Dept might have... issues with that. Still... Irish coffees around a bonfire at 5 in the morning sounds like a neat way to start the day.

They would go to the various shops that the family dealt with during the year & sing a rhyme (which he can't recall) and the shopkeepers would give them a sweet. This was during the war - rationing meant there were almost no sweets, so this stands out in this memory.

I’ve been bringing that back amongst my friends, as well as my family

"They haven't gone guising here for a long time," said the old folk of Cambo in 1922.
"There was no 'guisering' at Christmas 1903," wrote Hastings Neville in Ford in his notes of that year.
'Guising' (apparently derived from 'disguising', referring to the costumes and masks worn) was the local version of the Mummers Plays that exist elsewhere.
In both Ford, in the far north of the county, and Cambo, 40 miles to the south, we have records of the old custom, which happened in the days leading up to Christmas. Both apparently involved the key character of a doctor, but in Ford, Revd Neville has preserved the entirety of the script, including 'King George', a young hero, Goliath, and a battle, and finishing with the rhyme:
"Your bottles are full of whisky,
Your barrels are full of beer,
I wish you a Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year."
Neville puts the dying of the custom down to the reduction of young people in the villages in an age of increased mechanisation and rural depopulation. But when I was growing up in Northumberland in the 1990s, 'guising' was what we called Trick or Treating at Halloween! Maybe it hasn't so much died as shifted.

Students in your classes may express that they feel sorry for the Christian students who have only one day of holiday, and no candles.
You may explain to them that Christian students have their own holiday #traditions, some even with candles of their own, and that in their way they enjoy their holiday just as much as we enjoy #Chanukkah.

We are people of habits in this household, and we have several. For instance, on Sundays we eat pancakes.
I don't remember how it started. But we have observed this weekly tradition for many, many years now.
Do you have weekly traditions or rituals in your family?
