In those days, most homes had a central hearth. If the house-holder was generous, the masked men would line up and proceed around the hearth fire deiseal-wise, keeping the fire on their right, to bring the inhabitants good fortune for the following year. If the house-holder was mean, the men would proceed tuathal-wise instead before leaving. This was certainly an early version of today’s ‘trick or treating’.` <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Celtic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Celtic</a> Source: Ali Isaac | Substack

So he followed the attacking aos sidhe through the cave Oweynagat into the elven mound of Crúachan. After his discovery, he was supposed to be the slave of an elf woman, but became her lover. The Sidhe finally told him that the attack had not yet taken place, but would only be carried out on the coming <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Samhain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Samhain</a>. Nera went back to Crúachan and successfully warned King Ailill and Queen Medb. The fact that he was able to produce summer herbs in winter not only proved the truth of his words, but also that he had travelled back in time.

Perhaps some myth describing this combat may lurk behind the story of the battle of Magh Tuireadh fought on Samhain between the Tuatha Dé Danann and the Fomorians.` „While the powers of blight are triumphant in winter, the Tuatha Dé are represented as the victors, though they suffer loss and death. Perhaps this enshrines the belief in the continual triumph of life and growth over blight and decay, or it may arise from the fact that Samhain was both a time of rejoicing for the ingathered harvest, and of wailing for the coming supremacy of winter and the reign of the powers of blight.“ from: The Religion of the Ancient Celts (1911) <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Celtic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Celtic</a> Source: irishmyths.com/2022/08/21/samhain-mythology/
