Something I learned recently is that the pre-Christian Gaels considered Samhain to be the end of the year, so it was equivalent more or less to New Year’s Eve
I have missed the All Hallows’ night it’s not really celebrated in Australia like it was back home in the UK, now I understand why now not as many Scots and Irish in Australia like there are in the US 😹😹😹 I remember when we were children making JackO Lanterns out of turnips 😹😹😹the contents were added to the stewpot as we worked on them. Thank you for taking me back to my childhood memories 🤗🤗🤗
my grandfather would carve the turnips with his drill instead of a knife cos ain't no one got time to carve a solid turnip by hand (appart from you it seems!) Looks fantastic, many traditions I still did growing up, though the guises were a little bit more modern witchy superhero :P

How lovely! Maybe next year you could make your own little celebration, carving turnips (or an equivalent Australian vegetable????) 😊
I’m guessing that it being a very autumnal holiday also didn’t help 😁
I love your skeleton dog under the blanket by you, stealing the fabric, apple dooking. Also very cool to learn more about Halloween!
He's a very good boi, but also a little cheeky 🐕
@@LiljaHusmo Really? It's hard to tell, what with the lack of actual cheeks haha
Wow! you dancing in the rain was beautiful!
I still need to make the head wrap 😶🌫

If I had a drill i would have used it, maybe I will get one next year 😂 nothing wrong with a witchy superhero 🐈⬛👻🎃💪🧚🧙
In general, I’ve heard that wood-carving tools, such as bowl gouges, are preferred.
@@ragnkja that sounds about right haha
I learned a lot from you, thanks. And the video is lovely, especially the night-time section. Great!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊
Best informed Halloween video I've seen this year 👌 your turnip was absolutely amazing 😁
This is wonderful. So much great content 🕸🎃
Turnip carving ASMR 10 hour cut?
Turnip carving while laughing manically ASMR
Amazing video!
PS that’s a nice mask. Someone should wear it to a Halloween party or something?
Hmmmm i do think that would have been cool.....
Loved this
Michaelmas is a whole month earlier…
Some areas celebrate Michaelmas earlier in End of September, but some celebrate early November!
HOWEVER you are correct, i actually misspoke and meant Martinmas 😂 somehow didn't catch that as Michaelmas is so close in time!
@@LiljaHusmo
And Michaelmas is definitely a harvest celebration. 😊
