Emma LH: Ghost Catcher Isles<p>At midnight on November 2nd, we enter All Souls’ Day—a time when the veil between the living and the dead is thin. Tradition says our departed loved ones draw near. In Irish custom, offerings are left: water to soothe, food to nourish, a candle to guide, and salt to bless their path. Tonight, I honour my Irish ancestry by carrying on this tradition. <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/allsoulsday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>allsoulsday</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/irishrituals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>irishrituals</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/irishfolklore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>irishfolklore</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/irishancestry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>irishancestry</span></a></p>
Seb<p>I had an amazing time at the National Leprechaun Museum in Dublin! If you’re into Irish folklore and legends, this place is a must-visit. The interactive stories and myths really bring Ireland’s magical history to life. It’s fun for all ages, and I loved learning about the leprechauns and other mythical creatures. ✨🍀</p><p> <a href="https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/tags/LeprechaunMuseum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LeprechaunMuseum</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/tags/DublinAdventures" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DublinAdventures</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/tags/IrishFolklore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IrishFolklore</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/tags/MagicalIreland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MagicalIreland</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/tags/FamilyFun" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FamilyFun</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/tags/Mythology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mythology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/tags/DiscoverDublin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DiscoverDublin</span></a></p><p><a href="https://vero.co/seb_tmg/Mqs1-JVRvMTRxcnKHnmHSwbj" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">vero.co/seb_tmg/Mqs1-JVRvMTRxc</span><span class="invisible">nKHnmHSwbj</span></a></p>
