While the hill that is the #HomeOfHalloween later became known as the Hill of Ward, it's original name is Tlachtga - but how did it get that name? #SpiritsOfMeath #SamhainFlame #Samhain #Halloween

Mog Ruith was a powerful wizard who traveled far and wide on his great flying wheel including to the Hill just outside Athboy. He was #Tlacghta's father and associated with storms and the sun #HomeofHalloween #SpiritsOfMeath #Halloween #SamhainFlame

The origins of Halloween ripple out through time from one central point, atop the Hill at Tlachtga. #HomeOfHalloween #SpiritsOfMeath #SamhainFlame #HomeOfHalloween #SpirtsOfMeath #SamhainFlame
