Celtic Motifs ๐ The mythology of Western culture and civilization owes much to the Celts, all the elves, gnomes, dragons and epic heroes - came to us from the folklore of this people, who inhabited modern Europe for centuries and are closely connected with other ethnic groups ๐ค Just like magical creatures, traditions and holidays came to our modern mythology and perception from the Celtic oral tradition ๐ Of course, one of the most striking examples is Halloween or All Saints' Day or, as it was called in the original, Samhain ๐พ This was a holiday marking the end of the agricultural season, the beginning of the dark period of the year, marking the onset of a harsh, cold stage that people had to survive ๐ฅถ On this day, the gates to the other world opened and all sorts of Fairies and Spirits left their Hills and came here from other dimensions โจ Frequent guests at Samhain were also the Fomorians, which we talked about earlier in this post ๐(https://fansly.com/post/683405007680184321) It is unknown how exactly the tradition of dressing up arose, whether someone started putting on creepy costumes and masks for fun to scare people and beg them for a treat, or whether it had a ritual basis, some claim that parents dressed their children in monster costumes to hide them from the eyes of the Fairies who had a habit of replacing human children with their own ๐ฑ Be that as it may, now we have a cheerful and carefree holiday that pleases children and adults all over the world ๐ Although who knows, maybe even today ancient hills and mounds open doors to other worlds and the Fomorians come out into our world to carry out their mysterious will ๐ P.S.: I have a book about Celtic Mythology in my hands, a very interesting read! ๐ค #cute #teen #babyface #nerd #skinny
