A quicker one tonight and still catching up; this is Bredda, a Celtic goddess who likes forging axes almost as much as she likes chopping things with said axes.

Las hadas cait sídhe poseen el aspecto de gatos negros con una mancha blanca en el pecho, pero tienen el tamaño de un perro gordo. Suelen rondar las casas ajenas durante el Samhain en busca de platos de leche, bendiciendo los hogares que dejan la lactosa a mano, o secando las ubres de las vacas en aquellas viviendas en las que no hay bebida a la vista.

Tucked in between two major end-of-winter snowstorms, a gift full of luck arrives in the mail from your star baker sister. And then you know… everything is going to be just fine:) ☘️ . . . . . #barmbrackbread #stpatricksday #irishlegends #goodluckcharm #starbaker #homemadebread #sisterlove #irishbread #traditionalfoods https://www.instagram.com/p/CbBGElHOaXH/?utm_medium=tumblr

For the day that's in it here's a Halloween tale from Cavan and my painting that was inspired from it. 👹 It was believed by some that on Halloween night if you looked in a mirror you would see your future husband in the glass, looking over your shoulder. I remember hearing this regularly in primary school. What had to be done before or during looking in the mirror be it from lighting candles to saying a certain word seems to vary depending on who you asked. Also some believed if you say a certain word three times the devil would appear so apart from being afraid to look in the mirror on Halloween night I never gave it a go. But there was a brave lady from Kill in Kilnaleck who thought she would give it a try. It must have been no secret in the area that she was going to do this as when she looked in the mirror to see how handsome her future husband would be, what stared her back was not a man at all but the face of a pig. Petrified and traumatised, little did she know that boys from the area were perfectly positioned outside the window holding up the animal’s decapitated head. 🐷 From my Cavan folklore exhibition "The Hollow".

Legend has it that a long time ago, somewhere in Ireland, there used to live a man named Jack, and on a cold winter's night, he came face to face with the Devil himself.
