Purchase An Amazing Celtic Cross Necklace
Wear A Celtic Cross Necklace And Keep Off Evil Spirits
Bonfire night has an extraordinary meaning in the Northern Isles. Our latitude means light and dark reign over our skies in the summertime and winter with substantially more dramatic results. Our calendar celebrations such as Halloween were observed with enormous bonfires to illuminate the dark winter sky. Hallowmas has got to be good time to wear a Celtic cross necklace to avert the evil spirits or possibly mens white gold rings that have a Celtic design. This festivity became connected with a blend of Bonfire Night and Halloween.
These bonfire traditions were held on hilltops to celebrate the traditional Yule, Beltane, Johnsmas at midsummer and Hallowmas. Heather and peat were collected by kids for the fire. People and farm livestock that had been sick were walked around the fire sunwise (clockwise) so the fire could cure them. The fit would jump over or through the fire flames.
The Fabled Powers of a Celtic Cross Necklace
Before you put away the safeguarding powers of a Celtic cross necklace, given that Halloween is over, there is another tradition, played out on November 5, unique to the Orkney town of Stromness, which just about survives today. Kids take to the streets holding a carved turnip, referred to as a 'pop', asking people for cash. Whilst in England, youngsters might ask for 'a penny for the guy', in Stromness, they call for 'a penny for me pop'.
The turnip faces look grotesque and might be chiseled into the face of an animal, well known person, alien or trow (troll). A few might even come up with a political statement. The carving is normally done by the parents. After the children run around town rapping on doors to get cash, the pops are burned up in a fire.
Stromness is the only place where the custom of making pops happens. It is much like Halloween pumpkins, lantern carving and the guising custom. But guy heads on Orkney are made from papier mach. The pop does not have any body, simply a stick. Some residents say the pop means pope and the procedure was initially an anti- Catholic statement of burning up the pope, as Guy Fawkes is burned. But an explanation to whether this is correct has been lost over the years.
Many Celtic cross necklaces, mens white gold rings and other jewellery goodies are made in Orkney - a spot full of tradition and a unique history. This history has lots of strands which are separate from the story of mainland Britain, which we love to to share with you.
