The Seething Festival and the Legend of Lefi Ganderson
Jan 11th
A wonderful weekend took place on the 27th & 28th February when a whole community came together to redisover the Seething Festival and the Legend of Lefi Ganderson.
The tale of Lefi Ganderson and his battle with the Giant has passed through the ages. Its core narrative appears in many folk tales such as ‘Jack and Beanstalk’ and the classic Norwegian legend ‘De Baby og de Gigantiske’.
But for many scholars the classic tale is still ‘The Goat Boy of Seething’. Unfortunately the telling of the legend stopped in 1927. This was also the last year of the associated ‘Seething Festival’… until now! The IYAF joined hundreds of members of the community to take part in processions, archeological digs to find the entrance to Lefi ’s cave, mad hunts for lay lines, the beautiful community play and of course, the traditional burning of the giants head on a bonfire and the eating of jacket potatoes! Copies of the beautifully written and illustrated children’s book can still be bought for £10 by e-mailing lefithegoatboy@yahoo.co.uk. All proceeds go the International Youth Arts Festival.
The highlights of the Seething Festival can be seen here…
