Some may be interested in my thread
"Sunday's on the phone to Monday"
on alt.religion.druid .

On it I initially note that Sarah McLachlan is
a Sunday child, and I am a Monday child, and
then later note that Tanita Tikaram is a
Tuesday child, so maybe she should phone
Paul McCartney. :-)

On the first post in the thread I also
quote Blackbird and Silly WIzard's version
of If I Was a Blackbird.

But anyway, mainly the thread summarizes my
latest attempt to magickally instigate a
global new age, so check it out if you
notice any effects, otherwise I guess you
can ignore this.

I'm not personally interested; but if I get an idle moment I'll give it a read, and may be hooked.

I would like to thank you for posting this on RAP as well as aapc. We're slowly trying to bring the group back to life, and every bit helps.

Hello David, looks interesting. I thought of (fellow Wednesday's child) Paul McCartney recently, in a discussion with my friend James Pontius about the significance of blackbirds in ancient folklore and folk song, and James put this theory out:

***

"I was feeding the Grackles again and this old nursery rhyme came back into my head. Have you ever heard it, or did you sing it in Kindergarten?
Sing a song of sixpence
A pocket full of rye
Four and twenty black birds baked into a pie
When the pie was opened the birds began to sing
Isn't this a lovely dish fit to serve the king?

It sounds English, and it sounds very much like it's from the Middle Ages. I have a hunch or two as to what it means, but I want to see if I can find any websites on the origin of nursery rhymes and fairy tales. Have you ever heard of the English village in the 1400s who experienced about a weeks worth of psychedelic tripping from the Ergot fungus that got into the rye crop one year? It was called "St. Anthony's fire". The Ergot fungus was what Albert Hoffman synthesized when he invented LSD.
Medieval superstition attributed crows and ravens as omens of death, and of course, any sort of hallucinogenic experience would have been attributed to demonic possession.
If there were some kind of resentment towards the king at that time, perhaps they might have blamed their acid trip on something the king did and sending him a pie full of raven's and crows would be a symbolic gesture of wishing him some kind of ill fortune?
Isn't this a lovely dish fit to serve the king?
This is just a semi educated guess on my part, based on what little I know. I'm gonna see if there's anything out there in internet land that might corroborate my little theory."

"Sing a song of 666
A pocket full of psychedelic grain that made us trip out
It's the king's fault, so we send him a pie full of scavenger blackbirds (crows and ravens) baking them in the oven didn't kill them and when the king went to eat, they said Here's an omen of death to you, your majesty!
It's kind of like the old blues songs were often not about unfaithful women or natural disasters. A lot of real old blues lyrics are thinly disguised code, taking potshots at the boss man and the plantation owners..." -James Pontius

James seems to be onto something, there, what do you think?
