As we enter the dark half of the year, we present a series of stories from our storytellers this Samhuinn, Tales From The Hearth. Between now and Samhuinn night, they will be telling tales and poems and singing songs connected to different aspects of our festival, and sharing them with you online.
This is a story of seasonal transformations.
Samhuinn is one of many festivals in the Celtic calendar which mark a change of the season.
The Goddess of Celtic tradition has many aspects and many different forms in different places and at different times.
The idea of Maiden, Mother and Crone is a relatively modern one, dating back as far as the pagan revival of the late 19th and early 20th Centuries.
