The Celtic New Year is called All Hallow’s Eve and is the origin of Halloween, when the dead cross over between this world and the other.
At all Hallow’s Eve , God keep you safe
From goblin and pooka and black hearted stranger
From harm of the water and hurt of the fire,
From thorns of the bramble, from all other danger,
From Will o’ the Wisp haunting the mire;
May God in His mercy, this All Hallow’s you.
