This recording from October 31st, 2021.

Add to your Halloween experience this October 31st at 5pm with a remembrance of the ancient Gaelic celebration of Samhain.

Samhain, the forerunner of Halloween, was a time of reckoning and observing of the turning of the Fall season into the darkness of the Winter. Although many different communal activities were done, the ones remembered mostly are the recognition of the coming of the dark, and the telling of a good “tale’ of the travel into and out of fairy on this unique night; the Adventures of Nera is such a tale.

On this evening join the ghoulish Signum circle of Prof. Gabriel “O lygad y ffynnon” Schenk, Prof. Sara “Fel cath i gythraul” Brown, Prof. Maggie “Mynd o flaen gofid” Parke, and Dr. Jay “diafol O’ Malley” Moses as the festivities begin.
