Happy Samhain! (1 Viewer)

Magician · 31 October 2021

You might know, Halloween has celtic roots.
In Ireland we call it Samhain (means 'end of summer') and marked the end of harvest season.
If any crops are left out by November 1, faeries will come and spoil the crop.

In Ireland, on Samhain the division between this world and the otherworld is at its thinnest, so spirits can walk over.
Good spirits are honored while you need to protect yourself from the evil spirits.
You dress up as something scary, so the evil spirits think you are one of them.

Food is prepared for the dead and the living and you are supposed to share the food with people who are less well off.
