Happy Halloween! Can't believe it's here already, I think we should get at least 2 months of spooky season, one just isn't enough (especially when we know what everyone will be talking about from tomorrow). Hope you all have the spookiest of days and nights! https://blockforest.etsy.com/listing/1581644313
Blessed Samhain and Happy Halloween to all who celebrate!
In the middle ages, and even now in Scotland, turnips were carved instead of pumpkins and they were called jack-o-lanterns. They were attached by strings to sticks and inside them were burning coals that illuminated the eyes. Celebrants would also serve food and the living were only allowed to eat it after inviting ancestors to join them. This was called a dumb supper, where the food sat available for spirits to enjoy as the living regaled them with tales from their lives and entertained them with games and songs.
These days, we might set out some food or candy for our ancestors as an offering, light candles so that they can find their way to us, and sing prayers to them at night. However you choose to celebrate, be sure to say hello to your loved ones who've passed and be respectful.
Wishing you all safe and happy celebrations! 🎃 🦇🕸️🪦🖤🧙🏻♀️👻☠️
Happy #Halloween!! 🎃 Ashika and I are both secretly big fans of #HighSchoolMusical, so we thought it’d be cute to try dressing up as Sharpay and Ryan this year!! Granted, we didn’t have all the materials, but I think we did a pretty good job 😌🎶

In Japanese folklore, kamikiri mushi are a type of magical insect with razor-sharp hands and a sharp beak. They sneak into homes and cut off people's hair while they are sleeping. Some believe that kamikiri attacks are to prevent people unknowingly marrying a yokai. It was believed that kitsune (fox yokai) could take the form of a beautiful woman and try to trick people into marriage, which could lead to disaster. #MythologyMonday#yokai#folklore#JapaneseFolklore#spookyseason

A 16th century Japanese medical text explains how diseases were caused by tiny bugs that entered the body and were known as creepy germs or mushi. One of these was known as kosho, an odd, bearded, snake-like, sake-drinking creature whose hat protects it from medicine. #MythologyMonday#JapaneseFolklore#yokai#folklore#spookyseason@folklore
