Real Revisit : Samhain
Manage episode 517559205 series 2934873
This is a Ready to be Real revisit from 2020 — recorded during the height of the Covid restrictions.
In it, I speak to folklorist, artist and musician Dr. Billy Mag Fhlionn (Pagan Rave) about Samhain and the old Irish traditions that still shape how we celebrate Halloween today.
Billy lives in Dingle with his wife Muireann and their daughters, Sadhbh and Líse.
In this conversation, he shares the deeper meaning behind our Halloween customs — the stories of old, the sense of connection to our ancestors, and the games that have stood the test of time.
We talk about trick or treating, 'bobbing for apples', 'shave the fryer' (the flour mountain), and 'snap apple' and he reveals what was originally hidden inside the báirín breac (you might be surprised!).
