“Perhaps today we can best celebrate the triumph of Michael over Satan, of good over evil, by reflecting on how we hurl those labels ourselves. … So today let us pray for our souls, our selves, and our country, asking for the protection of Michael and all his angels from the killing sin of mistaking our prejudices for the judgment of our loving Creator.”

Siobhan Ball introduces TWH’s readers to the folklore of the blackberry – including why you need to eat them before the Faerie Folk claim them for their own – and also offers a delicious recipe for a blackberry and apple crumble.

Michaelmas daisies? Well, the next best thing in my #GayGarden is this white alpine aster in full bloom early October right by our sitting room window as I write this - each flower is tiny, a few millimetres across.

Why these precise dates?

Because there's a very long tradition of paying rent on the Quarter Days, said my boss.

I knew from my time as a historical re-enactor (specialist period 1460-1485), these were four major religious feast days of the Church, so there'd be regular reminders.

So, on this #Michaelmas #MichaelmasDay all kinds of businesses are paying their rent on a feast day fallen into desuetude, wondering 'why today' & receiving that most unhelpful response, 'because we always have'.

Is it #Michaelmas today?
I grew up in evangelicalism, so never celebrated, but goose was traditional in the UK, right?
I remember liking St Michael when I explored Celtic Christianity, as he is one of the 3 patron saints of Cornwall.
I quite like this Catholic website for exploring food traditions:

Morning and #happy #Friday.

Today is the feast of Saint Michael, or #Michaelmas. My friends in Europe always wish me a happy name day but this is something (adds to a very long list) that we have lost in this country.

I think I like having 2 birthdays a year.

Don't forget to pick your blackberries today if you can, because the devil will be pissing on them after today.

Meanwhile, our local beech tree has begun to change into his autumnal wardrobe, at long last.

Enjoy your day out there.

Today is the Feast of St Michael the Archangel, or Michaelmas. Unlike most saints, St Michael isn't a human being, but an archangel. Here are 10 more things you might not know about him:
