Halloween and Fairies

Halloween has a long history with all magical being in the fairy realm.

Here's what I found on my hunt for folklore concerning Fae.

~ Fairies emerge on Hallowe'en when the veil between our world and theirs opens

~ It is best to leave them an offering so they do not cause you any mischief

~Iron is said to keep them at bay

~It is best to use a horseshoe which is sacred to the Moon Goddess and shaped in a crescent

~There are thousands of different types of Fae from goblins, fairies, brownies, pixies and so on

~On Hallowe'en Fae disguises themselves in the form of cats known as pooka.

~A Halloween full moon is known as a fairies lamp.

~Avoid Hawthorn trees on Halloween they are the portholes of Fae.

A little Fairy Rhyme

Hallowe'en will come, will come

Witchcraft will be set agoing,

Fairies will be at full speed,

Running in every pass,

Avoid the road, children, children.
