Featuring: Witches Brew… Spiced Red Wine - popular wine for fall or winter, mulled & layered, an aromatic celebration of traditional autumn spices. Try it room temp, warm, or devilishly hot!
Chances are many people don’t know the connection between the Celtic celebration of Samhain (pronounced Sah win or Sow in) which marks the onset of Winter and our current celebration of Halloween. It’s both Lark and Momster’s favorite holiday. It’s also a time when there’s a “threshold” between this world and the one beyond (if you believe that kind of thing) and the opportunity to honor those who’ve gone before us. We also share how Celtic children’s (Skeklers) use of animal skins and straw while dancing to neighbors’ home and begging for gifts (Guising) was the impetus to dressing up for “trick or treating!”
