Broken up into two halves: The light half that starts on Beltane (May 1) till Samhain (October 31) and the dark half from Samhain till Beltane. The Celts believed Samhain to be a time when the "door" to the Otherworld opened enough for the souls of the dead, and other beings, to mingle with the living. This year, things got a tad spookier on the Emerald Isle than anticipated as ancient Celtic gods were reportedly awakened during Samhain celebrations. According to eye witnesses, the ethereal awakening took place during a recital of traditional blessings at a remote and hallowed site in the Irish countryside. In an interview, local potato farmer and part-time mystic, Seamus O'Reilly said, "It was quite an eerie sight, let me tell ya. One minute, we're all gathered around the bonfire, reciting the old blessings, and the next, there are spectral forms of Lugh, Brigid, and even the Morrigan herself just hanging out next to the potatoes. I think they were blessing the spuds." O'Reilly, who had just finished his third pint of Guinness, swore that the apparitions were not simply alcohol induced hallucinations. Adding, “I told ya'll ancient Celtic gods liked a good ol' blessing session. They were even doing the Macarena. Spirits know how to party!” While some more skeptical residents have quickly dismissed these claims as the result of "too much Halloween cheer," others are not so quick to deny the existence of the old Gods. Local Priest, Father Patrick, expressed his concern, “The old gods waking? It adds a whole new dimension to my Sunday sermons, doesn't it? I wonder if they pay taxes.” The Irish tourism board is also intrigued by these supposed sightings, sensing a potential goldmine. Their spokesperson commented, "We see a great opportunity in 'Ancient God Sightings' excursions. Tourists can experience all the thrills of Halloween, and if they're lucky, get a selfie with an old Celtic deity." The night was eventful, but as dawn broke, the Celtic gods seemingly took their leave, presumably bored of their spectral soiree. O'Reilly claimed that before they left, the spectral Morrigan whispered, "We'll be back for St. Patrick's Day. Prepare the Guinness." Until then, it seems like the residents of this quaint town will be left to ponder the happenings of a rather unusual Halloween. May the "spirits" be with them!
