ROBERT SEPEHR | Mysterious Origins of Bagpipes

While the trumpet was the instrument of the Roman cavalry, the bagpipe was the instrument of the Roman infantry. Scotland's national instrument, the Bagpipe, carries a long and honorable history stretching back to the beginnings civilization as one of the oldest known musical instruments. But what do we know about the precise origins of the bagpipe.

Email a voicemail message to celticpodcast@gmail.com Brandon Carl emailed a photo on Facebook: "Hi there it is nice to meet you! I have been following you for a couple of years now and love what you do! I usually play my truck simulator and catch up on what you do!" Keenan Joseph Roznowski emailed on Facebook: "Hi, Marc, I just wanted to let you know your podcast has been a cornerstone of my childhood, and it’s just as superb as I remember it now that I’m coming back to it. You’ve been such a wonderful guide through this world of music, and I’ll always have a heart full of love for this show and your hard work. I was homeschooled from 4th grade through the end of high school (I’m 24, soon to be 25 now), and your podcast was a constant companion through countless hours spent in my studies. I have the fondest memories of listening to the music you curated (as well as the Brobdingnagian Bards!) as I gazed out at our garden with countless dreams of warriors, wizards, pixies, and pirates dancing through my head. It’s only been recently I realized how criminally underrated you and the show have been, and I just want to say I supremely appreciate all your hard work in spite of this! In my opinion you deserve millions of fans, but the quality of the ones you have more than make up for it. I hope to show my future children this show one day. Take care, and I wish you and yours the absolute best. Sláinte" Jenni Trail emailed a photo on Facebook: "Hi Marc, I have been listening to this podcast for the past few years. I stopped listening for awhile when I was hooked on audiobooks but now I’m back! This summer I am staying with my grandparents in Idaho as I have an internship at a history museum. I’ve been listening to the podcast as I do work around the museum. I’ve attached a photo on some artifacts from the 1930s I cataloged for the museum. I’ve been obsessed with Celtic culture and history for the past few years, I’m a history major and have taken many classes on British history and Scottish history. I’ve never been to Scotland, but I hope to go to Fife, the area my family is from. Thank you so much for this podcast! I love listening to this music. Would you be willing to do a Celtic Punk episode? One of my favorite bands is a Celtic punk group called Flatfoot 56." Two Celtic Punk Episodes #366 and Celtic Punk #313.

Ooops! I uploaded an old file, this should be correct!! Hello everyone!! It's been awhile, hasn't it? I'm very rusty with podcasting but I hope you will enjoy this episode touching upon the Owlman of Mawnan Smith, Morgawr the Falmouth sea serpent and of course...the Beast of Bodmin Moor. Thank you for your patience!!

Brigid represents the essence of an inner dawn, and the healing that comes from knowing that the best is yet to come. Brigid is the goddess of pre-Christian Ireland. She is associated with the Indo-European dawn goddess and the coming of spring. She is celebrated in a Gaelic festival called Imbolc that takes place half way between the winter and spring solstice. It is said that at the moment between dusk and daybreak, Brigid arose into the sky with
flames like rays of the sun blazing in her hair. There’s a shrine near Kildare in Ireland that is sacred to the druids because it was believed to have been a place where Brigid’s priestesses tended to her eternal flame. This is where they learned the ancient healing practices that are associated with Brigid. And this is where in 480 CE, Saint Brigid built a monastery in honor of the goddess and created a communal and consecrated center for women’s religious life and learning.
Brigid is associated with poetry, and with all things elevated: states of being, high rising flames, lofty dimensions, elevated wisdom. She is said to have created the whistle for calling out from one to another while walking through the night, which lifts the wanderer with its levity and reminds her she’s not alone.
When your soul selects her card:
There’s that moment when you’re making your way through the dark and suddenly (after what feels like days, or months, or even years) a ray of light comes through to you. A lightening happens. Each step isn’t quite as hard to make as the one before. And you feel a great shift begin, as if now you’re headed toward something new. Something even brighter. Brigid is the essence of that first flame, that first ray of light.
Brigid reminds us that the darkness never lasts.Brigid’s eternal flame represents the truth that the light never leaves us and can never be extinguished. It simply gets obscured, or blocked from us. She reminds us that every day is actually filled with light; there are many days (and times in our lives) when we endure thick cloud cover. When that flame that exists within us is blocked by pain or confusion. Brigid is the sweet sound that reaches us in the dark and reminds us that we have never been on this journey alone. Brigid is our sign that the dawn is here because we have made it through the dark winter. We can lift our head. The healing has happened. And now each next day is bound to be brighter.
