Beyond the pronunciation, the ancient traditions of Samhain are fascinating. Great bonfires were lit, not just for light, but for purification. People and their livestock would often walk between two fires, as the smoke was believed to have cleansing powers and offer protection from the spirits of the Otherworld during the darkest night of the year. #Samhain #Halloween #Folklore #IrishHistory #fblifestyle | Black Dragon Tavern
