Wear A Celtic Cross Necklace And Beat Back Evil Spirits
Bonfire night has an extra special meaning in the Northern Isles. Our latitude means light and dark rule over our skies in the summer and winter with much more dramatic results. Our calendar galas such as Halloween were observed with monster bonfires to light up the dark winter sky. Hallowmas has got to be good time to wear a Celtic cross necklace to avert the evil spirits or perhaps mens white gold rings with a Celtic design. This festival became associated with a mixture of Bonfire Night and Halloween.
These bonfire rituals were held on hilltops to remember the traditional Yule, Beltane, Johnsmas at midsummer and Hallowmas. Heather and peat were collected by kids for the fire. People and farm livestock that were sick were walked round the fire sunwise (clockwise) so the fire could cure them. The fit would leap over or through the flames.
The Fabled Powers of a Celtic Cross Necklace
Before you set aside the safeguarding powers of a Celtic cross necklace, given that Halloween is over, there is another tradition, played out on November 5, exclusive to the Orkney town of Stromness, which pretty much survives today. Kids take to the streets holding a carved turnip, known as a 'pop', asking folks for cash. Whilst in England, children might call for 'a penny for the guy', in Stromness, they call for 'a penny for me pop'.
The turnip faces look grotesque and might be carved into the face of an animal, well known person, alien or trow (troll). They might even come up with a political statement. The carving is usually done by the parents. Right after the children run around town knocking on doors to get money, the pops are burnt in a bonfire.
Stromness is the only place where the practice of carving pops happens. It is identical to Halloween pumpkins, lantern carving and the guising tradition. But guy heads on Orkney are constructed from papier mach. The pop doesn't have a body, merely a stick. Some residents say the pop means pope and the approach originated as an anti- Catholic statement of burning the pope, as Guy Fawkes is burned. But an explanation as to whether this is correct has been lost through time.
Many Celtic cross necklaces, mens white gold rings and other jewelry goodies are made in Orkney - a location rich in tradition and a fascinating history. This history has numerous strands which are separate from the story of mainland Britain, which we love to to share with you.
