Badb

In Irish mythology, the Badb (Old Irish, pronounced [ˈbaðβ]), or in Modern Irish Badhbh (Irish pronunciation: [ˈbˠəu], Munster Irish: [ˈbˠəiw])—also meaning "crow"—is a war goddess who takes the form of a crow, and is thus sometimes known as Badb Catha ("battle crow"). She is known to cause fear and confusion among soldiers to move the tide of battle to her favoured side. Badb may also appear prior to a battle to foreshadow the extent of the carnage to come, or to predict the death of a notable person. She would sometimes do this through wailing cries, leading to comparisons with the bean-sídhe (banshee). With her sisters, Macha and the Morrigan or Anand, Badb is part of a trio of war goddesses known as the three Morrígna. more »

Guising night
Sacred, bewitching
Leave food out
Stave off the wicked
Things that hide are shown this night
Cross yourself
Keep candles alight

Stoke your bonfire
Fill the air
Ancient feast to rever
Those that walk again
Are not just ghosts
Beware of strangers
Keep your love ones close

Do you hear that sound?
When shadows fallen
The dead are coming to town
For one night only
Leaving tomb and tree
From rivers crawling
Bless yourself this night
Oíche Samhaine

Hide your face
And guard your soul
Hang a Hawthorn above your door
Wheel grinding through the year
Death of Summer
Winters snare
Do not stray far from the light
Puca, Sidhe and devil's are prowling from behind

Do you hear that sound?
When shadows fallen
The dead are coming to town
For one night only
Leaving tomb and tree
From rivers crawling
Bless yourself this night
Oíche Samhaine
Do you hear that sound
When shadows fallen
The dead are coming to town
For one night only

Time of the thinning
Between two worlds
Ancient beings roaming
Through cairns of stones
Hold your crucifix
And hawthorn stick
Keep your fire lighting
Awaiting first lights kiss

Do you hear that sound?
When shadows fallen
The dead are coming to town
For one night only
Leaving tomb and tree
From rivers crawling
Bless yourself this night
Oíche Samhaine
Bless yourself this night
Oíche Samhaine
