Mens Celtic Rings - Insignias Of Macho Prowess
Orkney jewelry commonly has captivating tales that lie behind the styles. Our mens Celtic rings as an example are connected with a legacy of stories about how these early men and women lived on our islands. And also our designer engagement rings have tales to tell once you learn where to look.
Orkney has a culture of oral storytelling which extends back to the Celtic and Norse folks that settled on our shores. Families would get together by the peat firesides throughout the extended hours of darkness in the winter time. These days as the clocks go back, it seems we have even more hours to tell legends and folktales while sitting by the hearthside - except the presence of TV and central heating has just about removed these old habits.
As we move ever closer to the shortest day of the year, Orkney is hosting its own storytelling event and restoring many of the folklore narratives to new audiences, both old and young. Over 3 days people are getting together to listen to myths and tales from Orkney and Scandinavian countries.
Tales and Folklore Surrounding Mens Celtic Rings
Mens Celtic rings may possibly have been associated with one of Orkney's most famous stories - that of the Broonie who lived with a man who was preparing to be married on the small island of Copinsay. The Broonie was a supernatural entity who lived in the sea gnawing on dead men's bones, but he wanted to live on land. So he offered to help the man by crushing the oats for his porridge, in return for staying in the house. An agreement was struck as this looked like a reasonable exchange.
However, when his future wife arrived on the island she objected to the Broonie because he was unclothed and extremely unattractive. She resolved he must cover himself up as she wanted to be a decent married woman. She left an old cloak and hood on the top of the quern stone he put to use for milling the oatmeal. However, when the Broonie saw the cloak the deal was broken because the cloak offered payment which the supernatural beast was not able to accept. The poor Broonie had to retreat to the ocean.
This ancient Orkney tale was told at the festival by Tom Muir, following investigation by the folklore enthusiast the late Ernest Marwick. It is among the many concerning supernatural folk - some with roots in Celtic lore and many others in the Norse.
Mens Celtic rings from these distant islands are a part of this custom of passing down ancient art. And our designer engagement rings for instance the Tryst ring have their own Orkney stories to tell.
