🧵 Halloween, as the world knows it, is an Irish & Scots invention from ancient Hiberno-Celtic roots. It’s correct name is Samhain & marks the end of the Harvest. It was culturally appropriated by the Christian Church as All Hallows’ Eve [1]

🧵 Samhain [the origin of Halloween] is an important ancient part of Irish culture. It’s a time of hope, celebration of the harvest, fun & when reality & the Otherworld are closest! I particularly love the creativity & humour! It’s this wonder in the everyday that is central to my art [1]

4/4 On Halloween I also made a little ancestor altar for Samhain, with photographs, candles and offerings. As someone with Irish ancestry, I wanted to honour these traditions in my own way and remember those I've loved and lost.

In 1937 Irish schoolchildren wrote down their families' Samhain fortune telling games for the Dúchas Schools' Collection. The most common one: three saucers on a table, with clay in one, water in the second and a ring in the third. #WitchSky #FolkloreThursday #IrishFolklore

A Cork school in the 1930s recorded rings, rags, peas and beans baked into the Hallow Eve cake. The ring was marriage, the rag poverty, the pea wealth and the bean happiness. Does anyone still hide anything besides a ring in their brack? #WitchSky #IrishFolklore #SuperstitionSat

Irish games, rituals and superstitions for Samhain from the Dúchas records.

You didn't throw water out of the house after dark. The souls of the dead were about and might get it thrown on them. If you had to, you called out first: Seachain! (beware!) #WitchSky #folklore #IrishFolklore
