Morris Dancing Lesson ASMR (Traditional British Folk Dance) | Pagan Wassailing For A Bountiful Sleep

I’m thinking that perhaps Morris Dancing isn’t as well known as I think it is, but… well, if you’re not familiar with it, Morris Dancing is a very old British folk custom where people dress up in bells and rags, dance heartily, drink cider, and practice light Paganism to ensure good harvests and the like. I don’t know what it’s like for young’uns nowadays, but when I was a kid we used to do Morris Dancing and country dancing and stuff, and like, dance around the maypole and. Yeah, anyway…
In this ASMR roleplay, a friendly Morris Dancer will teach you the basic steps (there’s, like, three) and share some cider with you, all the while speaking softly with a very border’s Midlands/Welsh accent as a bonfire hums away in the background. Enjoy!

🎙 What is ASMR? 🎧
ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) is synaesthesia of the soul. It’s a relaxing feeling, it’s a tingling down the spine, or it’s simply a sleep aid. Whether it’s being ‘held’ by someone you have confidence in, or ‘looked after’ by someone with authority, or just feeling ‘safe’ with someone you trust, it uses audio-visual triggers to enable you to let go of your worries and stresses - even just for a bit.
📽 What is FPC? 🎞
FPC (first person cinema) takes all the relaxing elements of ASMR but has much more of a focus on immersion and the suspension of disbelief. It’s kinda like being the main character in your own short movie, with popular figures you know and love, or entirely created worlds - just for you. There won’t be any visible mics or traditional triggers in these videos, and they will seem more unintentional than the usual ASMR videos - but they are unique and relaxing experiences designed to transport you to different places, worlds, and times.
Disclaimer: This video is intended for relaxation. Any views, opinions, or advice expressed is purely for the purpose of entertainment, and to induce tingles through ASMR. These videos are not a substitute for traditional medicine, therapy, or any other professional medium, and should not be treated as such! Take all the advice with a pinch of salt, and certainly don’t take it to heart. That being said, please enjoy them, benefit from them, and hopefully get those warm, tingly feelings. Oh, and it’s not for kids.

We’re gonna get drunk around the bonfire and summon the harvest spirits for the sillies

[@dieselweasel7720]

“Sillies” we’re gonna make that a thing

[@mandalorianwiththemandarin4339]

And thus begins the moon goon ceremony

[@auroralovescardigans]

Thought this was Jack Sparrow completing side quests

[@oooceanman]

I'm just imagining we're a tourist that got lost in some woods and found by this guy

[@PearlGourami]

Got to agree on the skipping, I miss it too. Petition to have a day of the week where skipping must occur. All other days as an optional extra. The world needs a bit more whimsy in it these days. Impeccable style by the way 👌

Convinced Jim is an ancient trickster God or something whose just having fun. Great video. ❤

[@karinadixon9922]

That is the most goth looking Morris dancer I've ever seen.

[@vampiricgoddess1669]

I’ve recently been obsessed with your roleplays, I’m so happy I have another one

[@ladyliberty417]

This made me smile and calmed my nerves, lovely ❣️Thanks Jim, I live in apple country here in the states and cider and folk dancing are also a tradition!!

[@Moonchildgirl888]

You made me search for videos about Morris dancing and I loved it! Love folk music and dances!

[@amymyers5503]

Look up Terry Pratchett and the Dark Morris dance of Discworld.

[@afelisya]

The best and favorite ASMRtist ❤❤❤❤

[@84Giorgia]

Terry Pratchett tought me about Morris Dancing 🤗

[@amymyers5503]

Yes. The Dark Morris Dance.

[@Geth-Who]

Oh my god. Pratchett was right. THE DARK MORRIS COMES.

[@alexlamia9946]

I love the costume! And my cats were loving the bell sounds.

[@catherinejustcatherine1778]

I was just wondering if you had done any Morris dancing videos. I am absolutely *loving* this one🌻🌟🍎🍏🐏🐑 Is that genuinely it? No knee lifts? (In my region the recreationists seem to lift knees, or is it my misperception? ) We did folk and country dncing when I was young (not in Britain, tho.) I don't remember Morris Dancing per se, but, I have known about Morris dancing for quite awhile now.

[@pandamonium4212]

The world needs more nights full of morris dances and such, I think, to bring us all back together a little bit. They really were quite enjoyable. When I was young I used to think country dances were lame and embarrassing - I’d love it now! Ahhh the hindsight of age … *sigh* Awesome vid as always Jim 💙💙

[@mattsommers4111]

My favourite asmrtist!

[@UsernameNotAvailable-p3v]

What the fuck am I looking at. I like it, take this sub.

[@amymyers5503]

Practicing light paganism and sipping hard cider. Thanks! Does that imply medium and heavy paganism and cider too? Practice does make perfect. Do you also know the Dark Morris dance, the one performed at All Hallows Eve? Do you have the silent octarine bells? Both dances must be performed to maintain balance to the world.

[@blastard8980]

Just pretend that Jim is actually a theatre actor who just likes to do quiet relaxing "face to face" videos on KZbin. It makes sense, since this guy is excellent at acting, for 1: his diction, delivery and flow are top level, ;for 2: because it's all done in 1 take, like a play; and for 3: because his characters are different but they all have a point.

[@whoisrankan]

te amo bro 😔❤️

[@moonchild3143]

This is a amazing. I love watching the Morris dancers every year at my local Renaissance festival

[@KiaraM]

You know Jim with all the cider you've offered me I don't know if I dance well I feel a bit dizzy 😂 anyway, thank you very much for teaching me this beautiful dance, I've also seen videos about it. Wonderful video it was very pleasant to listen to the fire in the background and the bell, very good ❤❤❤

[@Some_noname]

You didn't expect to see this roleplay, but you needed it

[@eviias]

You know, i just wanted to thank you. I have been preparing for my exams and the whole spring was just Hell full of stress and endless studying. Your videos seriously helped me keeping myself at least a bit at peace, because your voice is so soothing. Idk, i just felt the need to thank you. I hope you will obtain great popularity.

[@DenWell-SeedsOfChaos]

I did think that I had wandered into a Wicker Man-type predicament, I'm very glad you say it isn't such. But then again... Maybe I should pause my comment until the end of this little journey to be sure I am not going to be toasted inside a giant wicker sheep.

[@Iamshush]

Feels illegal to be this early

[@jesusschristt6979]

🤓☝️

[@xMilo_Bravox]

I know you said we're not doing a Wicker Man thing, but can we still sing Sumer is icumen in? COME ON, EVERYBODY, ALL TOGETHER NOW--SUMER IS ICUMEN IN, LOUDLY SING, CUCKOO~

[@rosebeaufort6238]

Looks like Bloodborne style

[@rachelzx97]

I like the hat and I think it is Hanna on it🤣 edit: the funniest joke in this one is "What would Edward Woodward do"😂

[@boldbearings]

Another mind blowing gem. 💣 Where does the king draw his inspiration??😮😮😮

[@MordredVertu]

I'm always learning things watching your videos, thank you for another banger, Jim!! 🧡

[@MeAndNataHere]

Morris Dancer: But you like my costume, right? Me: I like it so much that I'm about to say "I do". 🤍🤍🤍🙊

[@PrettyValid]

We need more 1900s asmr🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

[@katpiercemusic]

Ironic. This uncouth American has been binging Beltane Border Morris videos for the last week and a half and then this pops up.

[@ghostpaco2962]

I notice some of the traditional face makeup missing...

[@victor-kun-5oh1kz6v]

i think i've seen that maypole dancing thing in a show, ribbons attached to a pole??? it looked fun, maybe if i have money to travel one day i'll see if i can do it :P

[@LordOwenTheThird]

Love this vid but the discussion of skipping got me sad bc I haven’t done it in so long I had to google what skipping looks like lol

[@Brain4eva]

Traditions like morris dancing have slowly been phased out over the centuries in English culture largely by the monarchy which is unfortunate since these traditions are great for the lower class to keep in touch with their heritage

[@catherinejustcatherine1778]

I have said it before, and I shall probably say it again: I love this video

[@SanaeBestGirl]

Do another big boss/Snake asmr my dude.

[@lorifromtemeculaca426]

;-) just surrounded with joyful peace, thanks jim!

Prince Harry: Why Edmund you can’t cancel the bearded lady! Why that would be like cancelling the Morris Dancers!
