samhain bonfires

Dive deep into the mystic origins of Samhain, the age-old Celtic celebration marking the end of harvest and the thinning veil between worlds. Discover its rich traditions, rituals, and its evolution into the modern Halloween we celebrate today.

The Halloween Superstition says the Samhain Bonfire is an Irish tradition to encourage dreams of who your future husband or wife is going to be. The idea was to drop a cutting of your hair into the burning embers and then dream of your future loved one. During the festival, in addition to lighting Samhain bonfires, Celts wore costumes made of animal heads and skins.
