#FolkloreThursday 🌾🌕
Deep in Celtic Ogham, November's Reed Moon (Ngetal)—shadow of Samhain's fires (Oct 31-Nov 1)—plunges roots to Donn's underworld at Tech Duinn, where reed's haunting winds keen for the dead. 💀
#Ngetal may also be known as Broom or Fern which according to some researchers were the authentic plants used by ancient Celts.

@ShanonSinn has a very informative article on the authentic origins of how the Reed over time, replaced the Broom and Fern.

[Shanon Sinn @ShanonSinn]

@bearlung @proud_native_am Probably 😂

[Shanon Sinn @ShanonSinn]

@bearlung @proud_native_am I agree, she’s ridiculous threatened her family if they told anyone. It reads like this post was intentionally insincere. Surprised they wouldn’t know.

@bearlung @TeriMooring I don't think so! I just noticed this article is seven years old. It needs to be updated.

[Shanon Sinn @ShanonSinn]

Happy New Year! Wishing you the best for 2025.

@BollywoodBoyz Thanks guys! Happy Holidays to both of you too 😎

[Shanon Sinn @ShanonSinn]

Hope you are having a happy and safe holidays 🎄☃️

Grateful to be celebrating in BC. Hot Chocolate Porter out of the Krampus glass (Strange Fellows)! Alongside cobbler I made with berries I picked and froze, mixed with local farmed.

The tiny blackberries are native ground ones, the large invasive.

@fungiviking No sugar, just a bit of maple syrup 😋

This classic 1982 Victoria Times Colonist cartoon Illustration by Raeside shows an interesting blend of #Christmas folklore and popular culture.

@fungiviking Happy Birthday! Taken in October, but Amanita mascara will always be the Christmas mushroom to me 🍄
