This is a reminder for everyone who gets the post spooky time blues. Historically the entire dark half of the year is spooky time. It is traditional to share ghost stories and practice divination at yule and Christmas. There are even more than a few folk spells that involve attending midnight mass on Christmas Eve some of which are curses. Also, if you're interested, there's still MartinMass also known as old Halloween coming up. There is still plenty of spooky season to go around. So hold your seances, divine the future, tell your ghost stories , and enjoy yourselves. 🕯️💀🕯️

Connecting with my passed Nan's culture
So, my Nan was Cornish (born and I believe partially raised in Cornwall/Kernow before moving to some part of SE England) and I never had the chance to connect with her culture when she was alive. I never heard her speak Cornish/Kernwek and I don't know any idioms or the sort; it's even possible she wasn't very connected to her culture. I didn't have a super close relationship with my Grandparents growing up and my Nan (bless her spirit) passed away at the end of 2018 when I was 17 before I began feeling a strong desire to connect with her culture and feel secure in my identity as someone with Cornish blood.
I started trying to learn Kernwek this year but I live in SE England myself and there aren't many online resources that my ADHD has fixated on, so I decided to come here to hopefully get some advice and support from people who are Cornish themselves or similarly have Cornish blood.
I've always felt a kinship to the Celtic identity ever since I learned about Boudicca in primary school (or at least the kid-friendly version of her life) but didn't really find out that Kernow is a Celtic county (though I share the sentiment that Kernow should be given the respect it deserves and be declared its own country) or that it has it's own ancient, but endangered, language. What I'm trying to say is I've always identified with the Celtic identity and am passionate about learning both Kernow's and Brittonic Celtic history, traditions and culture.
This year to celebrate Allantide (alongside Halloween) we bought apple-scented candles to symbolise the importance of apples to Allantide and the tradition of candles being a guide for the spirits of the deceased to visit, in hopes that maybe my Grandparents could visit thanks to the candles (we bought one for each of them). I did as much research as I could but couldn't find too much information for what me and my family could do to celebrate, so I hope that gesture does resemble a celebration of Allantide because I really did try my best with it.
Similarly, I can't find any information on what a pre-Christian Christmas equivalent would have looked like, which is a shame because I did want to bring some Kernwek twists to our celebration (we're not Christian, so Christmas isn't a Christian holiday in our home so much as a celebration of family and joy). Does anyone have any idea of what would could do? Or if there is a holiday that happens around the same time that we can celebrate on its own?

Mera!! In IBWR celebrates halloween or SOMETING ? How is Oliver about that
Peculiars have a big holiday for Halloween/Samhain/Hop-tu-naa/Allantide/Calan Gaef/All hallows eve-- Whatever you want to call it! :'D
The day of spirits and monsters is a day for community fun, singing, eating, telling stories and playing games!
Unlike regulars, though, they don't dress up as one another. They usually just dress up as old pagan gods or spirits. Or, rather, what they think those things look like. They don't actually know any more, since the UK is Christianised and the old ways are forgotten.
It's tradition so old they don't really know why they celebrate it or why the food they eat is what they always eat. But the rites are there, just watered down and re-imaginated through different lenses.
They still throw nuts into the fire, eat apples, cutting ivy, carve turnips, put salt in the windows and decorate with candles and, of course, sing old songs that lost meaning but still revives imagination of an ancient past - year after year.
Oliver likes Halloween! :D
He just can't hide that night... No matter what crosses he wears, they sniff him out. So his celebration time is often short-lived if he goes out! He prefers being indoors with other people, so he can hide better.
He just wants to eat his Halloween apple jam and cider, man.

✨🎃✨🎃✨🎃✨🎃✨🎃✨🎃✨🎃✨
SAMHAIN BREAKDOWN
🎃✨🎃✨🎃✨🎃✨🎃✨🎃✨🎃✨🎃
SAMHAIN (🗣SAA-WYN🗣)
Other names:
Samhuin, Samain, Saman, Oidhche Shamhna, Hallowe'en, Halloween, Hallows, Hallowtide, Shadow Fest, Allantide, Third Harvest, Harvest Home, Geimredh, (Feile na Marbh), Feast of the Dead, Spirit Night, Candle Night, November Eve, and Apple Fest.
What is it?
Samhain is an old Celtic festival marking the end of the harvest season and beginning of winter (the "darker half" of the year)
What it represents
Samhain is a time when doorways to the spirit world are opened, allowing the dead to visit the living world. Some spirits were considered friendly, while others were not, and the Celts created ways to appease them.
It also marks the end of the Celtic year and the beginning of the new one and as such can be seen as an equivalent of New Year's Eve as we know it.
When is it celebrated
It is held on 1 November but with celebrations beginning on the evening of 31 October, since the Celtic day began and ended at sunset
Who to honour
Traditionally because this festival is associated with those who no longer walk this realm in a physical form, ancestors, family members, elders of the faith, friends, pets and other loved ones who have passed on are appropriate beings to honour.
Other sprits to worship
In the case you want to explore other spirits to worship, any death deity would be appropriate for example, you may feel compelled to leave out an offering to Hades at this time of the year. You can also worship the earth itself, as we approach this time of the year many plants begin the end of their yearly cycle, this is the perfect time to take a moment to appreciate the beauty in that part of the cycle.
How to celebrate
There are many things to do to honour ancestors and not just the human ancestors but the earth ones and the animals as well, this may manifest in many ways.
Some popular ways to celebrate this festival are
dancing,
feasting,
taking nature walks,
Ancestor Stories,
cemetery visits,
Bonfire Magic.
and building altars to honour the ancestors
These are not the only activities, there are many more that I could list and many more points I could touch on, but I wanted to keep this post really easy/friendly and not to overwhelming,
I hope to at some point tomorrow get to draft up a “Samhain correspondence” post to go along with this one🥰 if there is anything else/ or any questions you have that you’d like me to touch base on I’m more than happy to do my best to answer🥰
Merry meet! B ~Phae

One of the things I live about Halloween is putting costumes together and repurposing things. This top has was used in a costume first for AHS Coven Baba Legba…..it had ribbons and wee skulls around the band on the brim… then it was taken apart and reconstructed for a circus themed Fashion Show for a ring master costume… then we started using it for our front door ghoul…. now we’re repurposing it again for Jack’s Plague Doctor Costume and I’m a witch for I think the 12th time… The Plague Doctor has arrived…. 👻 🪦 💀 🪦 ☠️ 🪦 👻 🪦 💀 🪦 ☠️ 🪦 #samhain #halloween#allhalloweseve #allsoulsday #allsaintsday #allantide #CalanGaeaf #cemetary #DayoftheDead #grave#harvestfest #harvest #autumnequinox #gravestone #headstone #feastday #ritual #spell #magic #magick #leather #spiritmagic #coven #ancestralmagic #crystals #stones #kitchenwitch #plaguedoctor #witchyshit #costumedesign (at Albany, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVtT3YMrcD1/?utm_medium=tumblr
