Beyond the pronunciation, the ancient traditions of Samhain are fascinating. Great bonfires were lit, not just for light, but for purification. People and their livestock would often walk between two fires, as the smoke was believed to have cleansing powers and offer protection from the spirits of the Otherworld during the darkest night of the year. #Samhain #Halloween #Folklore #IrishHistory #fblifestyle | Black Dragon Tavern

Before Halloween, there was Samhain 🎃 The Celtic festival marked the end of harvest and the turning of the year. Fires were lit to guide spirits, offerings were left at doorways and people donned disguises to protect themselves as the veil between worlds grew thin.

🕯✨ “What is Samhain?” – The History & Roots Samhain (pronounced Sow-in) is one of the four great Celtic fire festivals, marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter — or what the ancient Celts called the dark half of the year.
