	Skyclad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Wicca, skyclad properly means "naked outdoors", though it is frequently used to mean nudity anywhere.
		Although some hereditary witches claim that their families have always practiced skyclad, nudity was probably introduced into witchcraft by Gerald Gardner, the father of Wicca, who was a nudist and insisted his coven practice nude.
		In Jainism, skyclad refers to a branch of Jainism called Digambara.

	Skyclad (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Skyclad is a British heavy metal band with heavy folk influences in their music.
		Skyclad could very nearly be described as a protest band.
		Skyclad's politics are generally left wing, with a strong working-class bent, although the band is by no means entirely liberal: "Men of Straw" and "Catherine at the Wheel" amongst others show a strong, zero-tolerance attitude to child abuse, and "Ten Little Kingdoms" is anti-devolution.

		Although some hereditary witches[?] claim that their families have always practiced skyclad, nudity was probably introduced into witchcraft by Gerald Gardner, the father of modern witchcraft, who was a nudist and insisted his coven practice nude.
		The Digambara (skyclad) monks of Jainism, as well as other Indian saddhus ("holy men"), have been practicing religious nudity for at least 2500 years.
		Fighting skyclad was also a battle practice of ancient celtic tribes who would go into battle with no clothes although made up with woad war paint.

	Skyclad
		Of course it is not practical to be Skyclad in the middle of Winter unless you are performing the rituals inside but in Summer, in a relatively private place, there is no problem stripping off the persona or mask represented by your clothing.
		Skyclad is a topic that has generated a lot of discussion in Pagan circles for many years, and will most likely continue to be a debate of contention.
		Some practitioners feel that skyclad allows the energy to work without interference, while others feel that clothing or robes do not hamper their circle work.

		"Many traditional covens work skyclad or nude – not to emphasize sexuality but to let psychic energy flow unhindered, to help members accept their own bodies as natural and good, and to point up the fact that all are social equals in the circle" pg.
		Thus their belief is that working skyclad is necessary in order to perform magic.
		Skyclad is seen as a step towards changing and healing this wound.

	Apollo Dawn: Robed vs. Skyclad Ritual (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Since I am not in the business of saying "my path is right and your path is wrong," the robed vs. skyclad decision is as much a matter of personal comfort and compatibility as is any other matter of Wiccan or Pagan ritual design or magickal work.
		The same is true of the skyclad or robed decision.
		For me, working skyclad is not only the purest natural state of the human body, but it is spiritually the least encumbering, and allows me to feel connected to the Earth, the Cosmos, the God and the Goddess in a way that working robed never could.

	SKYCLAD
		SKYCLAD is widely known in Europe, but raher unknown in this side of the world (i had listened to some mp3 but this is the first time tha i listen to a full cd).
		I think SKYCLAD have really developed their own sound, very heavy and with feeling, the last three songs on the “Outrageous Fortunes” ep show a more symphonic side of SKYCLAD.
		For those who don’t know SKYCLAD this cd is just right to get to know them, if you already listen to their music well, get the live, meanwhile i’ll start loooking around for their previous works.

		People, if you expected skyclad to keep on doing no daylights nor heeltaps stuff till the end of the world, let me tell you you were wrong.
		skyclad managed to get both heavier and folkier at the same time in about 2/3 of the songs.
		Skyclad's a Semblance of Normality is definitely one of their best albums -I'd say in the top 2 or 3 for sure, if not the best.

		"it was meant to be Skyclad who unfortunatley got stuck on the motorway and didn't get to the gig in time, they did make it to the Cambridge gig tonight and they were pretty good, levellers type stuff played well enough to keep most of the crowd out of the bar".
		It will contain 14 Skyclad songs (see setlist) from the last ten years (including an up-tempo Spinning Jenny) but re-arranged for this line-up so that people being new to Skyclad will have the chance to buy an album with the new sound.
		Some dead branches (not only martin, but those who where stucked to sabbat and the two first skyclad cds) have to be cut to make the skyclad tree brings juicier fruits.

		Skyclad is very famous for their exceptionally great lyrics and funny usage of the English language.
		As always with Skyclad albums they have their share of true killer songs which are very worshipped.
		To sum it up, this is one of Skyclad's finest works and a great place to start.

		Skyclad, Britain's unique folk-thrash band, had been slowly progressing from harsh thrash-metal of the debut to a more complex melodic sound of their later albums.
		One could see what Skyclad were aiming for even since their debut came out in 1991.
		As is always with Skyclad, along with violin, their another trademark, clever and insightful lyrics, is present in abundance on this record.

		Even if this album is not the Skyclad we know, is really good, here we get a glimpse of the heavier, thrashier roots of the band.
		A heavier Skyclad, much more dense and less folky, that’s what you’re gonna get when you purchase this, a damn fine record from a band that was about to create a whole new genre that ten years later would become very popular.
		I was also surprised the first time I heard this album at the lack of overt folk elements, as I'd already heard some of their later releases before this one.

		Most other Skyclad albums are plagued by a couple unmemorable songs, but this one can be listened to all the way through.
		I don't understand why Skyclad is so hard to get in the U.S., considering that they are one of the premier metal bands of the decade.
		With a full-time fiddler plying her seductive melodies, sardonic and witty lyrics, and some of Skyclad's catchiest songwriting, this album is one of the top ten metal releases of 1999.

		Moreover, if you see the credits on skyclad's last album 'vintage whine', you will see that i have coproduced it as i've done before with all the other releases of the band.
		Being producer is a rewarding intellectual activity but a very tiring one while playing live with skyclad can be something really great but you have to go with long tiring boring bus trips.
		Steve, "Bean" and Martin are the one who make skyclad what it is and i think it has to remain this way.

		In a few illustrations, the Witches are clothed in the clothing of their time but examination of the drawings indicate that the artist rarely knew a real Witch.
		Gardner introduced the term Skyclad into the Craft in the 1950's with the reference to "Witches worship naked which is called in the East (Indonesia), 'Skyclad'" and the term stuck as a poetic way to refer to ritual nudity.
		In the 1950's and '60s, most Witches worshipped Skyclad though by the 70s, the Welsh and American Celtic Witches began to wear robes, which became the standard way to worship for years.

		Contrary to the boss of 'Noise' insisting that the band should use the drummer on their four track demo (this was in fact a drum machine) the lads decided to recruit Keith Baxter into this position and work commenced in December 1990 on recording and mixing the songs for TWSOME.
		Released in 1991, Skyclad's debut was received extremely well by fans and press alike which spurred the 'Clads' on to make this outfit less of a project and more of a full time band with the goal of introducing to the then fairly

		Skyclad isn't one of those bands you can just dive into (like Metallica, Slayer, or Anthrax).
		The name Skyclad means wearing nothing but the sky (naked).
		Also, there was a great article in Metal Maniacs magazine, Issue June, 2001, that has an in-depth interview with Skyclad that will give you a better idea of where this band comes from and where they hope to go musically.

	THE METAL OBSERVER - Review - SKYCLAD - No Daylights Nor Heeltaps
		SKYCLAD is a band quite well known for their ability to go often in pubs, whether to simply drink a few pints of fresh and cold beer, or to ply as musicians.
		Thus, they've had the idea to record an album exactly as if they were playing in a pub, which means in electro acoustic version.
		And the result is very sympathetic, and can without doubt be a soundtrack to your Guinness-evenings: the sound is good, the tracks are entertaining, the new singer Kevin Ridley is definitely ok, and with such tracks as "Spinning Jenny" or "Land Of The Rising Slum", we're not so far from LOUISE ATTAQUE or NOIR DÉSIR.

		By experimentation more success in workings have been when skyclad, I am sure that as such our ancestors found this to be true also, and would have worked similarly.

		Though it's hard to take a band like Skyclad, already known for a wide berth of humor, seriously when the group names its tenth album Folkemon, the title actually conceals vocalist/lyricist Martin Walkyier's penchant for highly animated and thought-provoking (albeit disjointedly thought-provoking) lyrics.
		This was my first and last entry into Skyclad's music and I must say that I was immensely disapointed.
		Martin Walkyier's final album with Skyclad is an excellent way to conclude this band's catalogue of releases.

	Skyclad Druidry
		It is possible that Nichols introduced Gardner to the term 'skyclad', though it is equally possible that Gardner came across the term in his own researches.
		Although the majority of Druids, and probably the majority of Wiccans, prefer to remain clothed, a number of them have discovered that working skyclad, far from encouraging salacious voyeurism, exhibitionism or sexual misconduct, actually engenders a sense of community, of closeness to Nature and the Divine, and induces feelings of humility and innocence.
		As Emma Restall Orr, in her recent book Living Druidry (Piatkus 2004) says: ‘There is a cliché about Pagan religion defined as naked mud-splattered women in the midst of the forest, dancing uninhibited around a fire.
