taking our culture forward

The coming of May is a time for both vigilance and celebration.

One of the most important things to do at this time of year is to protect your household with a crosh cuirn - a small cross made out of sticks and wool - which should go up on your doors before the first of May. This will protect you against evil spirits (including witches and the mooinjer veggey) over the coming year.
