Ma quali sono le origini dell'handfasting... (Seconda parte)

Torniamo indietro di 800 anni...

L'handfasting nel 1200 consisteva in una Christian engagement ceremony (according to the laws of canon law ) recognized by both church and state. The ritual nature of Celtic, was very similar to that of a marriage, with plenty of witnesses, etc. contract. except that the promises exchanged were expressed as to the future ... es. take you as my wife ...

if they had been handed down to this ... take you ... was a real wedding, and the couple would be married girlfriend instead!

But you have to add that under no obligation to c'cera ceremony itself, the two boys could also decide to get engaged with neither the participants nor rite ... alone ... and their word was enough to make their engagement official!

In 1200 there was still the custom to tie the hands ... handfasting stood for a handshake. fact in medieval Scotland, the agreements were taking shaking hands ... a gesture that was worth more than a signature!

Usually the engagement period lasted one year and one day, over which the two engaged couples could choose to marry or not.

But if, during that period, the engagement was "consumed" , the two boys at that point were considered to have "married" without the need for further wedding!

Otherwise, a ceremony was very similar to that engagement, where the promise was exchanged to the present.

And how for the engagement, the couple could to decide to get married without either a priest or witnesses ... alone in a forest with squirrels as the only guests, and even then, the ritual was considered legal. The Church, however, preferred that the marriage was celebrated before the church (in Scotland in the Middle Ages and not before we got married inside the church) in the presence of a priest, and in the case of marriages "illegal", as above, the priests tried to convince the newly married couple to marry a second time with a traditional wedding ceremony.

When we got married in Scotland medieval was for life ... there is neither divorce nor remarriage, until the Scottish Reformation in 1560.

Prior to this, the husband and wife could stop living together, in short, separated but not divorced. The marriage, however, could be canceled for various reasons ... married too young of age ... the girl with less than 12 years, the boy under 14, or closely related, or that one of the two would be married ... etc..

As I said above, do not know the exact period when it was introduced nell'handfasting, the custom of binding hands of sweethearts with a ribbon tied gently, which allegorically represented the union of the two mutual commitment. Custom then repeated a year and a day later at the wedding (if they had decided to marry), but this time with a closer node, which stood for 's union for life.

Up to 1600 the whole Handfasting was recognized by both church and state, then then only by the state until 1940. Now, since 2004, marriage Handfasting, is considered a civil ceremony in all respects (Recognized by the state).

Being Human

Before I talk about this series I waited patiently for the American remake came out, so that we can make a comment unified.

The idea of \u200b\u200bthis series was created four years ago by Toby Whitehouse, a young English author who also designed the successful series of No Angels, made a broadcast on Channel 4 for 3 seasons but unpublished in Italy. The characters in Being Human are among young people in their thirties, two men and a woman, that they live in an apartment together and share their adventures. But what i still have not said is that the three boys are a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost who, for one reason or another, trying to live as human beings, by managing their "special conditions".

If you think that with such a premise, the series risks of ending up looking like the Twilight saga, let me reassure you: the authors of the series show a great respect for both the topics that the mythology of the genre. So Mitchell, the vampire hero, not a beefy shimmer that attracts the girls, but a man tormented by the weight of immortality and a sense of guilt for the killings for food, in the constant attempt to remain "human" while all around him his fellow men behave like beasts, bloodthirsty and power. George, the character in my opinion, better written, is an insecure boy, who control the island for lycanthropy, that he lives as a curse, as malattia che lo rende pericoloso e diverso dal resto del mondo. Infine Annie, fantasma incapace di accettare la fine della propria esistenza e costretta ad infestare la casa in cui è morta, in attesa di una risoluzione della propria vita.

Un applauso particolare va fatto ai tre attori protagonisti che non solo svolgono il loro lavoro perfettamente, ma regalano una profondità ed un realismo incredibile ai personaggi, aiutati anche dalle ottime sceneggiature, perennemente in bilico tra horror, commedia e dramma.

Una serie quindi che consiglio assolutamente a chiunque. Da non lasciarsi fuggire.

Two notes from the van made regarding Canadian-American version, produced and broadcast by Channel Syfy few days and on the Italian version, broadcast by Mediaset.

We start from the sore, the Italian localization. Like almost any product imported and localized by Mediaset, including Being Human is treated acceptable but not brilliant, with some translation error which prevents me from then to advise the Italian version. Try, if you can, to recover and watch the episodes in their original language: you will not regret.

As regards the American series, I do not know if even that will never be imported but for the moment is an adaptation, but acceptable, as it was conceivable from the beginning, totally unnecessary. The strange idea to start the series with a pilot or copying the original British pilot, but instead of copying the first British rider, what led to refinements and changes in history and that is not part of the original fee. Perhaps to avoid sounding too trivial? Mah .. For the moment however there is only the pilot, then I reserve the option to change the assessment in the future, after seeing the other episodes.

Yomi e Puzzle Strike

Two mini-reviews in one to two games that I discovered recently on the advice of a friend. Both published by the young Sirlin Games, the two games are different but complementary, since the titles of the same setting but generally very different.

Yomi simulates a meeting on the fighting genre of video games to Street Fighter. Two players with a deck of cards each, face each game attacks, sockets, parries and dodges in an attempt to land the opponent.

The game has an extremely simple, you learn in frettissima and still managed to simulate a enormity of the classic fighting game elements such as combo, combo breaker, knockdowns, special moves and finishers from "load" before you can use to create a gaming experience, however complex and varied. This, combined with the fact that the game contains 10 custom decks for the 10 playable characters, each with advantages and disadvantages and special skills that make the strategy is always different, Yomi is a very interesting game and I recommend to everyone.

Puzzle Strike instead it is a game that simulates a video game to Puzzle Fighter. The characters are the same as Yomi, but this time the players (from 2 to 4) will not have to fight with combos and taken, but the mix and throw each other falling gems in their dashboard in order to clog the planks opponents.

The game has a slightly more complex mechanical Yomi and more similar to another modern classic of board games: Dominion. Players will in fact increase their deck of cards, take on the bank "common" each turn, and then devising a strategy based on acquisitions and future behavior of adversaries.

Also this game promises great longevity among the 10 characters each with special abilities to add to the deck and the fact that the "common base" is generated randomly at the beginning of each game by selecting only a portion of the cards available, the variety of game is huge. Another game so much that I recommend.

An attention should be given to materials of both games: I personally have purchased versions "Print and Play" are available in PDF on the site of Sirlin Games for a very affordable price, then all my "equipment" cards are only made by me. But if you are willing to spend more, you can get really beautiful Deluxe versions: Yomi has plastic cards that resemble in quality professional poker cards, while cards but did not strike Puzzle pieces of wood round each player takes a own canvas bag.

Wedding Celtic in Scotland ...

The Handfasting (first part)

few years, the handfasting marriage ceremony is a recognized legally in Scotland. It literally means ... tie the hands!

The first examples of this type of ceremony dates back to 1200, and are based on ancient traditions and rituals of Celtic origin ...

The Handfasting is valid to all intents and purposes like marriage in a civil ceremony. You are applying to the municipality, which issues the Certificate of Consent to Civil Marriage, and then returns to the municipality signed by the couple, witnesses and the celebrant within three days of marriage, which has to be valid. Many couples, both the UK and abroad come here to Scotland to marry well.

In the movie Braveheart, William Wallace (Mel Gibson) and his love Murron were married in a similar ceremony.

The marriage customs of the Celtic were simple and full of meaning. The marriage took place in the nature that was considered sacred to the Celts ... trees, rocks, water and the sun had their own soul and the sacred place par excellence was the forest. Often it was where the Celts were blessed their union ...

And even today the handfasting ceremonies usually take place outdoors (weather permitting Scotland), in the woods, the heath, near the ruins of a castle or abbey, and for fans ... in the sea.

Two neo sposi ancora "legati" ascoltano un po' di musica dopo la cerimonia

Ma anche per chi desidera sposarsi al coperto, ci sono molti luoghi suggestivi tra cui scegliere... uno bellissimo è Doune Castle (dedicherò un post al più presto a questo bellissimo castle), che ha diverse sale dove è possible eseguire la cerimonia... la più raccolta è sicuramente la cucina antica... qui sotto

Doune Castle

Non c'è un programma fisso da seguire, perciò, sono le nozze ideali per chi vuole sposarsi in maniera personalizzata. Coppie che decidano di sposarsi così sono spesso pagan, but many are simply people who love nature and / or atheist who do not want a conventional marriage in church, and maybe something more personalized and meaningful civil ceremony at the municipality.

tapes for Celtic tie the wrists ...

At some point in the ceremony at the hands of future / newlyweds are tied with rope or tape, a gesture that signifies the couple's union. The tape may be wound up tied at any time, either immediately after the ceremony in the evening.

Ribbon "Plaid"

If one or both spouses are Scottish, often the tape used to tie the hands of their tartan and colors ... each family (clan) Scotland has one with its own colors.

custom for the whiskers is to melt the gold objects belonging to the parents, grandparents and so on. Maybe objects are no longer usable, and be done with that gold in the whiskers Celtic style, possibly as those above.

The Celtic harp, with its beautiful and romantic music, is a high demand for this type of ceremony ...

At the end of the ceremony often follows the ancient custom of jumping with a broom (like that of witches). The broom, which is placed on the ground, symbolizes the house, and jump start toward a new life together. Some people use a broom instead of a branch.

From the fifteenth century. it is customary to toast with the traditional Quaich, also called the Cup of Love. It 's a cup with two handles, often engraved with Celtic designs. The bride and groom drink from both same cup ... tradition says that it is whiskey, but often uses champagne ... and who is a teetotaler ... even mineral water!

The Quaich (cup) will then be passed down from generation to generation, to bring happiness and luck to all those who will use it to celebrate your marriage. It is also used for marriages and baptisms in the church.

The term Scottish bride "bride" ... a Celtic word that literally means "Bridget," which is a Celtic goddess, a venerated saint of Ireland. During lunch, there are those who organize demonstrations of how to make the cross of St. Bridget with strands of cane, then to take home, full of positive energy of marriage. It 's a Celtic symbol of protection of the house.

Here is a video that explains very well how to do this cross (in English)
