Gartan Mother's Lullaby

This is just the most beautiful Irish lullaby, I had to share it here. An old Irish poem and song written by Joseph Cambell (He wrote as Seosamh Mac Cathmhaoil), coming from County Donegal, Ireland from what I can tell. Words sung from mother to child (Leanhban). 

These two womens voices are so stunning.  

Sleep, O Babe, for the red bee hums,

The silent twilights fall.

Eeval from the Grey Rock comes

To wrap the world in thrall.

Leanhban, my child, my joy,

My love and heart's desire.

The crickets sing you lullaby

Beside the dying fire.

Dusk is drawn and the Green Mans' thorn

Is wreathed in rings of fog;

Sheevra sails his boat till morn

Upon the starry bog.

Leanhban, the paly moon

Hath brimmed her cusp in dew,

And weeps to hear the sad sleep tune.

I sing, my love, to you.

Born in the caul (video)

Born behind a veil, birthed inside the membranes. Told it brings the Caulbearer good luck and many stories have been shared around the world about this more rare way to be born. I think it is so mystical to see, and thought I would share this video with you. 

Have any of your children been born in the caul?
