🎃 Happy Halloween! Halloween feels a little different in Ireland and that’s because it started here🔮🕸️ Over 2,000 years ago, the Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in) saw people lighting fires to ward off spirits, wearing disguises so they wouldn’t be recognized, and sharing stories that blurred the line between this world and the next. Today, that same mischief comes alive in Ireland with nights of fire, folklore, and a whole lot of fun. Send this to the friend who’d be first to say

Halloween didn’t come from America, it began right here in Ireland. Over 2,000 years ago our ancestors celebrated Samhain, the end of harvest and the start of winter. They lit fires, wore disguises to confuse wandering spirits, and carved faces into turnips long before pumpkins ever appeared. To honour those old traditions, I’m offering a small Samhain gift, order our 7-bar soap bundle and receive one extra bar free.

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. From these ancient rites grew the traditions we now call Halloween and Ireland remains the true home of it all. #KeepDiscovering | Ireland's Ancient East

Ireland is the birthplace of Halloween🕯️ The ancient Celts called it Samhain, the modern Irish word for ‘November’ pronounced ‘sow-win’. It marked the end of the pastoral season and the preparation for winter: ‘the dark half of the year’. The Celts believed that at Samhain, the souls of the dead would visit their homes and those that had died that year would travel to the next world. Many of the practices that began during #Samhain have lasted the test of time and became our modern #Halloween ➡
