Thread: Halloween, as the world knows it, is an Irish invention from ancient Irish-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. Here’s an overview. #Samhain
Samhain was seen as the time when the concrete & the spirit worlds met & was a portal to the Otherworld. All sorts of spirits, particularly malevolent ones, walked amongst the living! Irish people brought it with them as they migrated to all parts of the world from the 4th C.
I find Irish art & culture fascinating & it’s part of the DNA of my work. Here’s a group of my drawings that are inspired love, hope & happiness.
Die #Rauhnächte - Ein Thread
Das Jahr neigt sich dem Ende zu und die Rauhnächte stehen wieder einmal vor der Tür. Am 21.12. ist Wintersonnenwende und drei Tage später hat das Licht sich so weit verdichtet, dass die Tore sich öffnen und die Rauhnächte beginnen.

Es sind die Tore zur Anderswelt, zur Unterwelt und zur Geisterwelt die sich an in den Rauhnächten, an #Beltain und #Samhain öffnen. Die Kraftplätze sind in diesen Nächten aktiv, Portale geöffnet. Die wilden und ungezähmten Chaos- und Naturgeister und -energien können
Kraftplätze sind in diesen Nächten aktiv, Portale geöffnet. Die wilden und ungezähmten Chaos- und Naturgeister und -energien können in unsere Welt wechseln und sich auch viel stärker bemerkbar machen.
Es ist die Zeit ohne Zeit, die ungezählten Tage. #rauhnächte

#halloween2021 si avvicina.
Ma dietro il "carnevale" americano si cela una cupa festa di origine celtica sicuramente praticata sulle isole, e probabilmente anche sul continente sia dai Galli che dai Germani.
Non è uno caso che Halloween cada precisamente nella notte di Ognissanti

Infatti è una festa ctonia, che celebra le forze oscure dell'inverno.
Secondo un diffusissimo (ma tardo) mito irlandese, ci sono due corti fatate, i Seelie e gli Unseelie, che si disputavano il controllo del regno dell'aldilà, onde evitare la guerra fu siglato un patto.

Per sei mesi, la primavera e l'estate, sarebbe stata la corte fatata dei Seelie a governare, ma per altri sei, l'autunno e l'inverno, sarebbe stata la corte Unseelie a regnare portando con se il freddo e la morte.

My work is inspired, in part, by Celtic mythology & art. I’ve currently got a special offer where you can acquire one of my drawings for €149 or two for €199. Take a look at this thread!
Happy Samhain and Happy Halloween! I am the daughter of a man born on Samhain/Halloween, so Happy Birthday to you, Dad. I do believe that the barrier between this world and the others is thin, and so I feel closer to him on this day.
In the 90s, we had a big party for his 50th Birthday which was just few months after he was diagnosed with AIDS and didn’t know how long he might live (since he had a severely low T-cell count). It was joyful, as joyful as it could be.
October 31 is also the day that my familiar, my souldog, my Boston Terrier Jordan passed out of this world with a beautiful blessing and ritual by the unbelievably wonderful @urbantantrika. So, it’s a heavy day for me. #Halloween #Samhain
