Samhain Special: Irish Mythology and Customs and the Origins of Halloween

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Listen to this episode from Irish Mythology Podcast on Spotify. Marcas and Stephie talk about the various tales from Irish Mythology that reference Samhain and the ghastly cast of ghoulish entities associated with them. We also talk folklore, customs, games, robbing pallets for the bonfire and dressing up in bin bags to go out and scare your neighbours.

Samhain and Beltane fall in the season of the Scorpio. Ruled by Pluto, Scorpio season is marked by transformation--the end of something old and the start of something new--and destruction. The Death card represents this holiday perfectly as we transition between seasons and start anew.

Samhain: Bathed in Night (From Ten/Silvanfan)

Samhain: Bathed in Night (From Ten/Silvanfan)

# data[].attributes.body
For me, Samhain starts only when the sun sets at six. I usually spend the month steeped in magical and supernatural content (which I didn't do this year), so that, on Samhain night, I can do something really extraordinary.

For me, sometimes, that's as simple as going outside, since I usually stay indoors. For a few moments, I sip my tea, sitting in my mother's garden and listening to the sounds of the night. I feel safe, and sometimes mystical, whether or not the moon is with me. Intent is *everything*.

Sometimes it means watching my favorite magic-themed movie, which I reserve just for this time of year. That means I'm in my dark bedroom watching The Craft with candles all around.

But it always means wearing a costume that has meaning for me. Last year one of my two cats, Salem, was ill. I spent that Samhain cuddled up with him, with markings on my face and cheeks made haphazardly with black lipstick that made me look like I had a cat's black nose, and whiskers. We took pictures together, and I cherished being with him. He passed away a few weeks later, and it will always be a precious memory for me.

As this year's Samhain falls on a Tuesday, which is a fire day for me, I may watch a movie about the witches of Salem, while wearing my vampire fangs (this year's theme is vampires, courtesy my obsession with Astarion of Baldur's Gate 3), and light a candle in honor of all my pets who have passed on.
