Beannachdan na Samhna air a h-uile duine againn! Halloween marks the end of summer or harvest season. For Gaels, Halloween is the beginning of winter and in this context, the start of the New Year. In earlier times, bonfires would be lit on Halloween. Going back to the 1930s in the worlds of Gaelic Nova Scotia and Scotland, guisers https://www.whfp.com//gisearachd-cabbage-stalks-and-egg-/ would go from house to house on Halloween to obtain food, sweets and drink. This tradition going as far back as prehistory, is a precursor to the trick or treaters of our present day. Some Nova Scotia Gaels still prepare fuarag. Made with whipped cream and oatmeal, and according to the local tradition a coin, button, thimble and ring may be placed in the fuarag bowl. If while eating the fuarag you got the coin, that would mean that you were to be wealthy; if you got the button, you wouldn’t wealthy at all; if you got the thimble, you would be a spinster or bachelor; and the ring, that you would be married. Fiosachd (divination) is the Gaelic word for this practice that goes back to prehistory. The blessings of Samhain on all! #ExploreGaelicNovaScotia #CuireolasairnaGaidheil #GaelicNS #Gaidhlig #Gaelic Nova Scotia Culture
