Some Irish Superstitions – Part 2
“Come out of your Celtic Twilight kids.” - Suffocate, Noel Brazil Much as I love the music and lyrics of Noel Brazil, particularly when sung by Christy Moore, I don't really want to come out of the Celtic Twilight.... at least not yet. There is something too compelling and fascinating about Irish superstitions - as long as you either take a magical view of them or don't take them too seriously. More often than not, superstitions are seen as quaint, misguided and limiting beliefs cobbled together by our rather unintelligent ancestors who simply didn't know any better. Most people think they are rather stupid and without relevance to our modern world, but I'm not so sure. I don't hold a linear view of evolution. N.B This blog follows on from my earlier posting on Irish superstitions gathered in the 1970s by my aunt.
