Blackberries, a classic sign of Autumn foragers, carry deep roots in folklore.
In Celtic tradition, they’re known as "Fae Food"—but beware!

🎃After #Samhain, it’s said the mischievous Púca fairy 🧚‍♂️ spoils the berries by spitting (or even urinating) on them, making them unsafe to eat.

Across Britain, #Blackberries also served as protective charms, believed to ward off evil and even vampires 🦇 when hung in doorways. 🚪

The Mabon harvest won’t arrive until Sept 22, 2025, marking the Autumn Equinox in the north.
In Welsh folklore, Mabon—the “Divine Son” of Modron—symbolizes youth and renewal. As the Second harvest is reaped, we give thanks for fertile fields and the turning of the year. 🌾✨ 🍂#Mabon #HarvestFolklore

As Samhain approaches, old tales whisper of witches gliding through the night on broomsticks, their loyal black cats or watchful ravens close at hand. Under the dark autumn sky, magic stirs and shadows come alive. 🧹🌒🐈‍⬛🪶#Samhain 🎃

As Autumn draws near, we remember how #Persephone was taken to the underworld by Hades, eating six pomegranate seeds—one for each month she’d spend below.
Her mother Demeter’s grief brings winter, but Persephone’s return each Spring restores the earth’s life. 🌾🍂☀️

After the harvest, hands shaped humble corn shuck dolls—woven from golden husks and autumn’s magic. In Appalachian lore, these simple figures brought good luck and sometimes held the power to predict what lay ahead.
