Unha das datas mais importantes da nosa cultura ancestral é a noite de
Samain/Samhain/Halloween onde se rende culto a tod@s aqueles que xa non
están con nós, mais forman parte da nosa história individual e
colectiva e do noso coñecemento.
One of the most important dates of our
ancestral Celtic culture is Samain/Samhain/Halloween night when we pay
tribute to all of our beloved ones who aren't with us anymore but are part of our individual and collective history and knowledge.
Samaín nos presenta a roda da vida e morte que camiñan xuntas. A tradición celta fala de que é
unha noite especial a comunicación entre os vivos e os mortos está mais
aberta que nunca, polo que ambos mundos aproveitan para mandarse
mensaxes e lembrar as ensinanzas do círculo da vida.
Samhain is seen as the wheel of life and death walking together. The
Celtic tradition says that during this night a special communication
between life and death is more open than ever, so both worlds can send
messages to each other and remember the teachings of the circle of life.
Segundo conta a lenda, durante a noite de Samain as almas refléxanse
nos espellos tal e como son, e só as almas puras, poden desfrutar da
visión da sua beleza e luz no escuro cristal; por contra, as almas suxas
non soportan a fealdade que ven no espello e fuxen despavoridas. Isa é a
razón pola que no altar do Samain debemos ter un espello (ou mais)
ademais de froitos do tempo, fotos dos nosos seres queridos que xa nos
deixaron ou algunha ofrenda que lembre o que mais lles gustaba. Ao meu
pai e ao meu avó, por exemplo, sempre lles poño café e tabaco.
According to legend, during that Night of
Samhain, the souls reflect themselves in mirrors as they really are, and
only the pure ones can enjoy the vision of their beauty and light in
the dark crystal; on the contrary, the unclean souls cannot support the
ugliness that they see in the mirror and terrified run away. That is the
reason why on our Samhain altars we should have one (or more) mirror
with seasonal fruits, photos of our loved ones and/or some offering that
remind us most of the things they liked. For my grandpa and father, for
example, I always offer some coffee and tobacco.
Como xa vos teño explicado en varias ocasións, Galiza é ben coñecida por sermos Terra de Meigas.
As
Meigas non son mais que as nosas sabias ancentros femininos que
conectadas coa natureza seguían os equinocios e solsticios da roda do ano.
As I've told you many times before, Galiza is very well known as the Land of Witches (Terra de Meigas).
"Meigas" are just our ancestral feminine
sages who are well connected to nature and follow the natural cycles of
the solstices and equinoxes throughout the year.
Os pasados anos inviteivos a participar dun dos rituais mais ancestrais da
cultura celta e que teñen especial importancia na celebración desta
data: os Oráculos.
These last years for Samhain I invited all of you to
participate in one of the most ancient rituals of our Celtic culture.
This ritual has a special relevance in this celebration: the Oracle.
